Originally a staple in the 1940s, boucle has made a defiant comeback in recent years due to its sumptuously soft composition and subtle design. The textured, woolly material of a boucle sofa provides an inviting warmth, whilst the neutral hues offer a clean, minimalist aesthetic. A boucle sofa is a match made in heaven for mid-century modern interiors, lending itself to contemporary living room designs.
What is boucle?
The word ‘boucle’ is derived from the word ‘curled’ in French. Simply put, boucle is a type of curled yarn that produces a thick, nubby fabric. It’s most commonly made from wool, although it can also be made from cotton, linen and silk. The fabric is characterised by its cosy, fleecy appearance and super soft feel.
Types of boucle sofa
From corner to modular, curved back to pillow back, two-seater to three-seater, the options are endless when it comes to choosing a sofa. Boucle loveseats and sofa beds are also a popular choice.
How to style boucle
If you’re considering a boucle sofa for your living room, think about how you can style it around your existing decor and colour schemes. Boucle is a soft (and usually light) fabric, so you might want to consider contrasting these neutral tones with colour, pattern and texture to balance out the room. Layer with tactile soft furnishings, from cushions to textured throws.
