the buts

There is only one big but or we have only found one important enough to cite. Guess what it is? If you have looked at the images, you have probably already deduced it.

Trendy materials and colors

Curved sofas by themselves are a trend, but we must talk about other important ones as well. And it is that even if they are available in a wide variety of materials and colors, they do not all have the same role. There are two materials, for example, that stand out from the rest and that are bouclé fabric and velvet.

• Lana loop. Boucle wool is a fabric made from wool with small loops of alpaca fiber that give it its characteristic curl. It is a very soft fabric that envelops you, which makes these sofas a pleasant and cozy proposal. They invite you to sit down, right? The only problem is that it is an expensive material, but since it is a trend, there are already cheaper synthetic materials that imitate it.
• Velvet. Velvet is not a trend as such but it is always a great alternative to incorporate. This fabric brings a lot of play and dynamism to the furniture thanks to its waters.

As for colors, light tones rule. The bright whites and especially the raw ones they are a favorite of boucle weave sofas. They are colors with which you will gain light in your living room and which give you a lot of freedom when choosing the color of the accessories. The trend invites you to combine them with round cushions in the same color so that what stands out is their silhouette, but it's your living room! If you feel like incorporating yellow or pink cushions, why wouldn't you?

Do you prefer to give color to the sofa? Regardless of the fabric with which they are made, you will check the prominence of pastel tones, mainly very faint blues and pinks.
