As brilliantly comfy and luxurious as they look, boucle sofas are more popular than ever before. With a cold winter right around the corner, this trending textile is the perfect upholstery choice for ultimate couch coziness in 2023 and beyond. Furniture Outlet explain the reasons behind this current boucle boom and also showcase the latest boucle bargains available today…

What Is Boucle?

Boucle or bouclé is originally derived from the French word boucler (meaning “to curl”), and refers to the looped, nubby yarn used to create the boucle upholstery on sofas and other pieces of furniture. With a teddy bear-like appearance and texture, boucle is a comfortable and durable fabric that makes a sofa look and feel luxurious.

First popularised around 70 years ago by world famous fashion designer Coco Chanel and also Knoll’s influential Womb Chair design, boucle is now making a big comeback for sofas and home interiors in the 2020s.

Boucle: The Bang-On Sofa Trend

It’s easy to see why boucle is such a popular choice for today’s sofas. Boucle is soft to the touch and looks amazing, it is very comfortable to sit on and is also hard wearing. A stylish boucle sofa will instantly add luxury and warmth to any living room.

Styling Interiors With Boucle

From scandi chic apartments to mirrored glam mansions, no matter the choice of interior design theme and living space available, a burst of boucle will bring warmth, comfort and style to your home.

The immense versatility of this supremely snuggly-yet-chic fabric means any room can be fully boucle-d up to your heart’s content using simple soft furnishings like cushions, pillows and throws or more substantial pieces of furniture like ottomans, chairs and beds. No wonder boucle is hugely popular in British homes right now.

Easy To Keep Your Boucle Sofa Looking Boss

Another key factor to boucle’s enduring success story comes from this being a sturdy fabric that’s dirt-resistant and easy to maintain. Additionally, the low liquid absorption properties of boucle upholstery will help minimise the possible effects from an accidental water spill on your sofa. So, even when viewed from the more practical perspective of everyday living and use, a boucle sofa is an ideal choice for any modern home.

To keep your boucle sofa looking as good as new, just regularly vacuum the sofa to remove any crumbs, hairs or dust. A brush or lint roller can also be occasionally employed to clear away any excess fluff and bring out the very best of this fabulous fabric.
