Upholstery Trends You’ll Love for Your Living Room

Your living room is the heart of your home. It is a place where comfort meets style. And nothing transforms this space quite like updated upholstery fabrics. Whether you’re refreshing your sofa covers, reimagining your cushion covers, or exploring new sofa upholstery, staying on top of current trends helps create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

At Vista, we understand the power of premium upholstery fabric and how it can redefine your living room. Here are the top upholstery trends you’ll love that are trending this year. 

One of the biggest trends in living room decor right now is textured sofa fabric. Velvets, chenille, and woven jacquards, all add  a luxurious dimension to your seating. Textured upholstery fabric not only looks elegant but also adds tactile interest that instantly elevates a space.

Tip: Choose velvet or linen-blend sofa upholstery for a plush yet sophisticated look. Pair it with embroidered or quilted cushion covers for added depth.

Calming hues like olive green, warm beige, rust, and stone grey are trending in upholstery fabric choices. These colors bring warmth and harmony, making your living room feel cozy and grounded.

Neutral sofa fabric also offers great versatility, it blends seamlessly with seasonal décor, colorful throws, or patterned cushion covers.

Tip: Opt for dual-tone sofa covers in neutral shades with piping or stitch detailing to add subtle visual interest without overpowering the space.

Eco-friendly interiors are here to stay, and that means a rise in sustainable sofa upholstery materials. Organic cotton, recycled polyester blends, and natural dyes are being used more in upholstery fabric without compromising on style or durability.

Tip: Look for upholstery collections from Vista Furnishings that feature responsibly sourced fabrics and eco-conscious finishing techniques.

While neutrals are timeless, bold patterns are emerging as statement-makers. From abstract geometrics to ethnic-inspired motifs, patterned sofa covers and cushion covers add a burst of personality to minimalist interiors.

This trend is especially appealing for accent chairs or as layering elements through upholstery fabric on poufs or ottomans.

Tip: Use patterned cushion covers to highlight a plain sofa fabric, or mix and match within the same color palette for a curated, designer look.

Gone are the days of matching all your furniture in one sofa fabric. Today’s style encourages creativity, pairing different textures, tones, and patterns for a more personalized and layered living room.

Tip: Combine a soft, pastel sofa upholstery with bold printed cushion covers or use contrasting sofa covers for armchairs and centerpieces to create visual intrigue.
