Who doesn’t love a good celebrity makeover? In recent years, furniture has become the new fashion and we look to none other than our stars of TV and Film to guide us in their cozy Hollywood ways.
What are the top design trends in celebrity couches?
In 2023, the world of interior design has seen a shift towards sofas that are designed to make a statement. These aren’t just ordinary pieces of furniture; they’re art, conversation starters, and representations of individual tastes. Celebrities, with their larger-than-life personalities and influence, have played a significant role in popularizing certain trends.
While some might think that celebrity-endorsed furniture would be extravagant and not fit for the average home, the reality is quite the opposite. Many of the sofa trends loved by the stars are not only eye-catching but also adapt seamlessly to various spaces and design preferences. Most notably, these trends represent a clear departure from the conventional, urging homeowners to embrace the new and the unique.
Bouclé Couches: Once reserved for a niche audience, bouclé couches have now stormed the mainstream, thanks in large part to celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Kylie Jenner, Elsa Hosk, and Miranda Kerr. It’s not just about the textured fabric; the trend often marries bouclé with soft, curved shapes, resulting in a cozy yet stylish piece of furniture. This seamless blend of texture and form creates a harmonious aesthetic that’s both contemporary and timeless.
Velvet Couches: Velvet, with its soft touch and luxurious feel, was once the pinnacle of furniture luxury. While its popularity had waned for a brief period, it’s now back with gusto, especially in celebrity households. Names like Miley Cyrus, Mindy Kaling, and Tracee Ellis Ross are champions of this trend. The resurgence isn’t just about the fabric, though. These velvet couches are often seen in vibrant, punchy hues, turning them into statement pieces rather than mere comfortable seating.
Curved Couches: A flashback to the ‘80s, curved couches are making their presence felt once again. And while some design trends from the past can feel dated, this one feels refreshingly modern. Celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Emily Ratajkowski, and Elsa Hosk have all showcased their love for this style. What’s captivating is how each has embraced the curved aesthetic in distinct ways, showing the versatility and adaptability of the design.
Modular Couches: The ‘70s were known for their innovative designs, and modular sofas were a hallmark of that era. These couches, characterized by their flexibility and adaptability, are now making a comeback. Celebrities have been quick to embrace this trend, with Miley Cyrus opting for a velvet blue modular piece and Kylie Jenner showcasing a bubble-like beige outdoor version. These sofas, beyond their aesthetic appeal, allow homeowners to adjust and rearrange as per their space and preference.
Printed Couches: If there’s one trend that screams boldness, it’s the printed couch trend. These are not for the faint-hearted but are for those who wish to make a statement. Leading the pack is Drew Barrymore with her couch featuring a striking Scalamandré zebra pattern. But the world of prints is vast, ranging from abstract designs to floral prints, ensuring that everyone can find a print that resonates with their personal style.
Colorful Couches: Color has always played a pivotal role in interior design. This year, nearly every popular couch trend has integrated bright and fun hues, indicating a broader move towards vibrant living spaces. While the styles and shapes of the couches may vary, the common denominator is color.
The versatility of this trend is evident in the myriad of shades available, be it a sunny golden yellow, a playful feminine pink, or a calm, subdued green. Colorful couches offer an opportunity for homeowners to express themselves, turning their living spaces into reflections of their personalities.
