Couch envy
A couch is one of the biggest interior investments we’ll make in a lifetime – and it’s an investment in a different kind of living.
On a couch we gather, lounge, nap, de-stress, read, watch, knit – it’s our happy place for better or worse, and winter only dials up the time we spend firmly planted on our couches.
Long labelled the centrepiece in living interiors, a couch can anchor a room and make you appear a master of aesthetics. Granted, that is, your couch meets the expectation – and hopefully doesn’t sacrifice comfort in doing so. If this is the season you splash out, take time to consider what style will endure in your home.
So what’s popular? While it’s unwise to blindly follow a trend when purchasing more expensive interiors, reported purchase patterns can help you determine what has worked for others. For example, personality and bold embellishments are increasingly popular, and luckily, completely up for interpretation. Custom design is an option if you fall in love with a certain fabric. In sofa style, experts say modular and curved couches are all the rage, favoured for their versatility and intimate feel – where you can truly make a space your own.
