Bouclé Cream is the new Black
Originating in the 1940s, bouclé has come and gone, only to be back again, hotter than ever.
The material has been used throughout the ages in both the fashion and furniture industries and can be found on everything from clothes and bags to luxurious furniture and home decor.
The soft fabric looks great combined with furniture with rounded edges and shapes, while adding a warm and cozy feeling to the home. Bouclé fabric has a unique texture and breathes luxury and comfort. Perhaps it was fashion designer Coco Chanel who put bouclé on the map when she started designing bags and clothes in the material, and the world opened its eyes to the soft fabric with the luxurious feel.
Decorating with bouclé
Bouclé furniture can be combined in several ways and becomes stylish and distinctive details in the home. Depending on your personal style of decor and what you style your bouclé furniture with, the feeling it adds varies as well. Because the material is airy and soft, it can bring a luxurious hotel lobby feel as easily as an earthy, organic atmosphere – all depending on how you style it and your other decor.
Exclusive and minimalist
If you have an elegant and exclusive style of interior design where furniture and decoration are of luxurious design, then a piece of bouclé furniture can reinforce that style even further. If the room is also composed of a color scheme of dark and muted colors, a white or beige bouclé piece can be a perfect attribute that really stands out.
A white sofa, armchair, or chairs in bouclé provide a delicious contrast that breathes hotel and extravagance. In recent years, interior details in copper and rose gold have been a dominant trend, but this has shifted more and more towards gold and brass, and even hotter than ever is brushed brass or brass with an antique finish. Today, many bouclé pieces are manufactured with brass and gold details. These sophisticated and luxurious details, together with the soft, cozy white bouclé, look very nice.
By adding gold or brass details to the rest of the decor, you create a uniform, cohesive thread in a stylish and clean way.
Bouclé for the peaceful, earthy style
Right now, interior design with round shapes in organic colors and mixed materials is trending. A few years ago, it was common to decorate in sterile white from floor to ceiling. It was supposed to be as stripped-down and bare as possible. Instead, more and more people have embraced a soft, cozy feeling, and instead of just one shade of white, the decor consists of colors like beige, white, gray, and other earthy tones. To achieve that style in a home, the key is to mix different materials. Raw furniture such as concrete, rustic wood, and rattan matches nicely with a fluffy throw, soft pillows, and other decor in soft materials. A piece of bouclé furniture is an excellent attribute to add to achieve an earthy atmosphere in the home. By mixing these two extremes, a lovely contrast is created where the simple and stripped-down meets the warm and cozy.
Not just a sofa
In many cases, it is sofas and armchairs that one thinks of when it comes to decorating with bouclé. The fact is that the fabric has many uses, and perhaps you don't want to replace an entire sofa or armchair to bring bouclé into the home. Lovely cushions and throws in the material are perfect for making the interior cozier regardless of style.
Another unique and stylish interior detail is to decorate with bouclé curtains. Thanks to their heavy structure, they are perfect for blocking out light while adding a significant cozy and soft feeling to the room.
Bouclé in simplicity
Bouclé is French for "curly" and is the yarn used in the manufacture of the furniture. The reason for the name is that it consists of loops and curls that make up its uneven but soft structure. In the past, only wool was used for the manufacture of bouclé furniture, but today it is increasingly common with other material choices. The material is durable but must be dry-cleaned. For smaller stains and spills, it is easiest to dampen the fabric with a cloth and avoid rubbing hard, and then let it air dry.
