We often see retro vibes in fashion, home and event decor but finally we have a trend that is all about current time and something new – low sofas. Think really low, square sofas with low backs, super deep cushions with short legs, and a really heavy thick bottom cushions or frame. These sofas are decidedly for people who want to curl up, while chatting and sit with all legs or feet on the sofa.
There are a couple details worth calling out. First off, we welcome back the knife cut cushions, not instead of, but in addition to the boxed cushions. There is also less piping and welting, more curving over what is typically seamed, which takes away some of the detailing that normally gives sofas a tailored look. The curving instead adds to this relaxed sort of attitude. These sofas don’t want too many pillows – they are already adding a lot of softness, looseness, and texture to a room, so be careful to about throwing on too many eclectic pillows, or it could easily look messy and haphazard. The types of fabrics seem to be all over the place – linens, velvets, and leathers are all welcome, with no patterns or prints – this is contemporary style. You could go for a really subtle tone on tone that looks more like a texture.
