Mid Century Modern Style Tufted Sofa: With its unique and dramatic profile, this curvaceous sofa combines contemporary simplicity with mid century modern character. It even includes the adorable herringbone print throw pillows for effortless coordination – of course, modern sofas in colors like this handsome robins egg blue have plenty of other viable color coordinates if you ever feel like getting creative.

Modern Style Sofa With Color Options: Not only does this stylish sofa feature a versatile form that could suit any contemporary interior, it comes in a wide variety of stunning color options – from fire engine red to lemon yellow, with tons of stylish neutrals in between. Choose from polyester or bonded leather material.

Mid Century Modern Style Gray Sofa: This distinctive modern couch makes a strong statement with a unique form that defies conventional proportions: notice the thin sides, ultra-plush seats, and small round armrest cushions. It’s available in beige in addition to light or dark grey to suit a variety of interior styles.

Skinny Fat Condo Sofa: Despite its modest looks, this is one of the most comfortable sofas out there. And if you’re looking for a sofa that will fit your space perfectly, this piece is available in seven sizes from 80″ to 92″ in length – and there’s a fair number of fabric colors and leg finishes to choose from, too.

Velvet Chesterfield Sofa: Do you love the style of classic chesterfields, but want something with a more contemporary look? This velvet chesterfield sofa features chenille upholstery, reversible seat cushions, and matching lumbar side pillows. This model is also available in a warm off-white hue.

Modern 3 Seat Grey Velvet Sofa: Sophisticated and smooth, this velvety-soft sofa is just as comfortable as it looks. Side and bottom cushions are all one-piece, permanently affixed, while the side pillows are removable. It’s easy to set up – the legs are the only pieces that require assembly.

Super-Retro Orange Sofa: Inspired by the outrageous forms of furniture from the 80s, or even the “atomic age” aesthetic of the late 40s, this bright orange sofa is sure to start conversations. This piece would make a great focal point in a modern minimalist home, or would look great next to other pieces inspired by the same time periods.

Modernica Sofa: With dozens of upholstery and finish combinations to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect Modernica sofa to fit your interior. This piece would look great in any modern interior but would look especially at home in a space inspired by futurism, minimalism, or contemporary Scandinavian style.

Le Corbusier Style Sofa: Inspired by the Grand Confort series by Le Corbusier, this modern sofa furniture set is a great choice for interiors that want to channel a cool industrial style. The original set was designed in 1928 and continues to serve as a style icon to this day.

Mid Century Style Futon: Now let’s look at some sofas for small spaces! This futon does double duty, laying flat to serve as a comfortable spare bed for unexpected guests. The stylish materials and form were inspired by the minimalist side of Scandinavian design, making it a versatile choice for just about any decor theme. Because it folds backward instead of pulling out, it can sit conveniently next to your favorite mid century modern coffee table.

Modern Futon Sofa: This 3-position sofa can serve as a couch, a lounge, or a small cot – in small spaces like studio apartments, it more than makes up for the amount of space it occupies. These cool modern sofas are available in bright hues spanning the entire rainbow.

Scandinavian Style Convertible Couch Bed: Simple, stylish, and versatile, this convertible sofa offers a variety of ways to enjoy its comfortable design. Not only can you lay this sofa flat to use it as a bed, but you can also simply recline the back to enjoy movies or books from a lounging position.

Modern Style Sleeper Sofa: Of course, sometimes you need something a little bigger than a standard futon or sleeper sofa. This pullout sofa offers the comfort of a full-sized bed without sacrificing on style.

Super Customizable Transformer Sleeper Sofa: If you thought the sofas previously outlined in this guide were versatile, just wait until you see everything this piece can do! The single chair can slide left or right, unfold into a lounge or bed, or come together to extend the main body of the couch. The small tables are super useful for books or morning coffee.

Modern Sectional Sofa With Storage: Finding the right sofa for the center of a room is never easy, but this piece looks great from any angle. With plenty of space for books, sketchpads, and movies, it’s the ultimate entertainment space for a relaxing weekend at home.

Modern Sectional Sofa: Are you looking for something completely different for your home theater room? This unique sectional sofa has it all! With white leather upholstery, bold black accents, and creative shapes and patterns, this piece will define any space it occupies.

White & Red Contemporary Sectional Sofa: Here’s something completely out of the ordinary! Bold red accents draw attention to this sofa’s highly uncommon curves and angles. The small section between the lounge and the middle chair contains a lidded box to store refreshments.

Circular Sectional Sofa: While circular sofas aren’t exactly known for their versatility within interior design, this piece defies expectations. It comes apart into five pieces that you can rearrange at will – the middle portion can serve as an ottoman or upholstered table. The end pieces can pull away and double as extra seating for guests.

Contemporary Tufted Seat Sectional Sofa: With adjustable headrests, this white contemporary sofa allows everyone in the family to find their comfort zone. Add the extra armless chair (shown next to the lounge) to expand your seating.

Ikea Ekebol Sofa With Shelving: What a great multipurpose sofa for a small apartment! It includes two shelves, one in the front and one in the back, to hold your favorite books, shoes or magazines. Add hooks to the back to create a home for other accessories like purses, hats, or gloves.

If you scroll through many furniture sites, the couches and sofas look like variations on a theme. That's starting to change. While you can still find plenty of straight-armed sofas, you'll also see more distinctive shapes and unique fabrics. Recently, people have been drawn to the Cloud Sofa and its many replicas, but others are looking for distinctly different options.

"I think the next 'it' sofa is more of a statement piece than just a functional piece in a room," said  Christine Vroom of Christine Vroom Interiors. "Whether it's curved or upholstered in a pop of color, has a super nubby texture, or is designed with geometric and angled arms, I see sofas marrying comfort with style. "

She said furniture designers are also making pieces that are ergonomic and comfortable. To find some of the most interesting trends in couches and sofas, we spoke to three designers and searched sites like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok.

Curved and serpentine sofas

Article

Both Enrique Crespo of Crespo Design Group and Alex Alonso of Mr. Alex Tate Design said more people are embracing curved sofas. Crespo especially loves Vladimir Kagan's serpentine sofa. "Its organic and fluid shape provides the home with a very sculptural piece, but also a conversation piece," he said. "Making a statement with furniture as art is a bold move. "

Alonso likes the conversation spaces that curved sofas create. "They're such a fun design choice and can be casual or formal while still adding an element of sexy to the space," he said.  

Find more curved sofa options in several styles and prices here.

Alex Alonso of Mr. Alex Tate Design loves this circular sofa from TRNK Collection. It’s available in many fabric choices and is 122 inches long.

Article's Kayra sofa is 87 inches long and has a frame made of kiln-dried pine. It comes in yellow or blue velvet fabric or ivory bouclé and has wood legs.

Mario Bellini Camaleonda sofa

B&B Italia

Designer Mario Bellini launched the Camaleonda in 1970. The beauty of it is its modular design. You can even turn it into a bed if you have enough pieces. It was out of production for decades, but furniture brand B&B Italia recently revived it. 

You can find the sofa (reproductions or the real thing) getting hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok (including Ashley Tisdale's video), but it is a big piece of furniture. "I do think in a large space and a space that maybe presents more challenges, it would be a really good solution, given the uniqueness of the size," said Anna Franklin of Stone House Collective. It would work well for someone who loves changing up their seating options, she said.

A reproduction of the Mario Bellini Camaleonda, this tufted couch from Eternity Modern is modular and available in many fabrics and colors.

The Belia Open End Sofa from Rove Concepts is a dupe of the Mario Bellini Camaleonda. It can be arranged in different configurations and is available in a few colors.

Storage sofas

Pottery Barn

Sofa beds are nothing new, but they typically hide more conventional (albeit thin) mattresses inside. This iteration, which we've seen a lot on TikTok, is a bit like a sofa-bed and futon hybrid with added storage under the chaise. 

The cushions and chaise become part of the bed, and an extra section pulls out from the couch. Combined with the storage, it makes these types of sofas great for small spaces. 

You can find versions of this style of sleeper at several retailers. Many of the Ikea reviews mention the firmness of the Friheten sofa, which is something to keep in mind if you like plusher cushions. 

If you're worried about the sofa's comfort, Franklin suggests paying attention to what the cushions are made of. "Down fill would probably be more comfortable to lay on than a stiff polyester," she said. And she said a good mattress topper can also help for the nights you have guests.

This clever sleeper sofa from Ikea has hidden storage and pulls out into a bed. Many owners describe the cushions as firm, so don’t expect to sink into this sectional.

Raymour & Flanigan’s Brynn sofa transforms into a queen-size bed, and you can store items under the chaise. It’s only available in a dark gray polyester fabric with the chaise on the right side.

Bouclé sofas

Lulu and Georgia

Beloved on TikTok and by celebrities like Gabrielle Union, bouclé is a soft, nubby fabric that's made a comeback over the last few years. "It feels like a new fabric," said Franklin. "It's not, but it feels like it is." 

What's nice about this trend is you're not limited to a particular sofa shape or size, and you can reupholster your existing couch instead of getting a whole new one. 

You'll often see ivory or white bouclé that mimics its woolly style, but you can find it in other colors, too. Franklin suggests getting matching pillows instead of bright or contrasting ones, otherwise, "I think you're gonna notice the pillow before you notice the sofa," she said. For throws, she said she likes to stick with other natural fibers to match the aesthetic of the bouclé.

Covered in polyester and acrylic bouclé fabric, the lightly curved Gabriola loveseat is 64 inches long, making it a good fit for smaller spaces. We've rarely seen its price this low, so this sale is a good opportunity to save.

Design

Today, light sofas are in trend - legs give the models the desired lightness. Thin or solid, high or not very high - supports of various types elevate a fashionable sofa above the floor. Even barely marked, they create a gap between the seat and the floor, changing the perception of volumes. The contrast of weighty pillows and a thin, seemingly fragile base attracts the eye. The picture is complicated and enriched by hard surfaces made of wood - integrated tables, shelves, containers. Advanced technologies and materials make it possible to create legs of such a design that they can withstand significant loads. Finishes range from brushed aluminum to aged bronze. Thus, in the Zeno Light model, designed by the "living classic" Antonio Citterio for Flexform, the frame is offered in "chrome", "black chrome" finishes, in satin or brushed steel, as well as in "champagne" tinting, which has recently become very popular. Visionnaire and Mauro Lipparini offer the Citizen sofa in chrome, gold, bronze, black nickel and, again, champagne. Wood bases predictably predominate in classic models, such as Chrysler by Selva and Durham by Crate and Barrel. Regardless of the type of legs, modularity is valued in sofas: the presence of various modules in the program allows you to vary the composition in shape and size, as well as supplement it as the living space increases; Flexform brands are recognized as specialists in this segment. Minotti, Poliform, Lema. Transformers are also in demand, changing the position of the backs and armrests - here there are no equal German pros, especially Rolf Benz.

Sofas 2021 - 120 photos of the best models and new furniture designs

We are often afraid of bright and positive furniture tones. However, we must remember that colors can create a certain mood, affect the perception of an object. Therefore, for the interior, designers recommend choosing bold shades in 2021.

After what happened in 2020, more colors need to be added to restore inner energy and harmony. Additionally, other currents have been developed for people who miss peace and tranquility. The sofa is not just a part of the interior, but most often the central part of the living room. All the novelties of sofas in 2021 are to be found below.

Article Brief

Top 8 Trends for 2021-2022

Neutral soft pinks are this season's favourite. The best combination with a plain surface or with even brighter and more contrasting ones: blue, dark blue, lemon.

Cozy Sofa Beds

Renowned designers claim that cocoon beds will be the main trend in the production of upholstered furniture in 2021-22. These are cozy sleeping places with a soft fabric headboard and a footboard. If the sofa is planned to be used as a sleeping place, it should be such that you want to burrow or hide in it. Photos of sofas in 2021 are freely available. The cost of such options is slightly higher than usual, but even if you buy at the end of the year, this trend will be relevant until 2023. Therefore, you do not need to worry that it will become unclaimed later.

Geometric print

In addition to the colors of furniture in 2021, it is important to consider stylish textures, images and patterns on objects. Despite the fact that the 80s are returning today, the designers plan to move the current towards a more modern type, and the best option is to mix the old and the new. Today, these are asymmetrical shapes, drawings, as well as a large amount of geometry - both in the objects themselves and in prints.

This moment applies not only to sofas, but also to other parts of the interior. You can even include geometry in the finish. How relevant this trend will be can be understood even by trends in clothing. This year, you can safely purchase a bold print (even if it is separately on the cover).

Naturalness

The demand for naturel is constantly growing. Designers have to interfere with combinations of different textures. For example, it can be wood interspersed with stone, metal, various textures, not necessarily made from eco-friendly materials. Bamboo inserts are ideally combined with organic cotton.

In Russia, such options are quite expensive, but you can always find an alternative in Ikea. Swedish suppliers have already taken care of replenishing the range.

Rounded shapes

The trend of 2021 is furniture with soft rounded shapes. Love for roundness has come to us since the 1970s. Thanks to this atmosphere, the interior will look cozier and more elegant. By the way, similar furniture could have remained since the 2000s. If you don’t have the budget to buy a new sofa, you can consider restoring the old one. For inspiration, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with examples of modern sofas in 2021.

More metal

In addition to unexpected stylish furniture colors, 2021 also sees unusual metal appliqués. Gold, brass and blackened bronze became widely used as separate elements. These can be figurines, art objects, modern compositions decorating the interior space. Much of the sofa frame has never been used before. Now it is a canvas that allows you to reveal the individuality of the owner.

More individuality

More and more people are buying bespoke designer items. Buyers are interested not only in the appearance of a thing, but also something more - its history, special meaning, depth.

Therefore, do not skimp on the purchase of high-quality and hand-made furniture. You can order a handmade sofa from any freelancer.

Attention to small details

The attention of designers is already focused not only on the overall style of the interior, but also on its smallest details. This may reflect:

All these things have a good effect on the individuality of the owner.

As for sofas 2021, it can be the simplest model that you bought inexpensively in a chain store. To make it trendy, a little work with your hands is enough. As mentioned above, even old furniture can be saved with the help of modern restoration. Make an unusual print of textiles, metal inserts and much more.

New art deco

Art deco in trendy colors and furniture design in 2021 is an impending trend that will come to Russia closer to 2022. Buying such a sofa in 2021 can be ahead of the times and increase the service life. This style embodies luxury, brightness and brilliance.

You can explore the new sofas on the open Internet. As a more global source, it is recommended to take foreign sites and stores.

By the way, most of the models in this style are corner sofas in 2021. Many underestimate this form, but in vain. For a small space, this is ideal.

Natural shades are back in fashion

Natural shades are back at the peak of popularity. These include brown, beige, green, blue. Everything that is involved in the landscape of the planet can be safely used.
