Arguably, one of the most important items of furniture in a home is the sofa. Sofas are used daily if not multiple times a day, and allow us to fully relax when the need arises. Now we would never suggest changing out your couch year every year, after all, EZ Living Furniture has a reputation for providing good quality furniture that will last year after year. We do, however, suggest, making small changes to keep up to date with the current trends. If your sofa happens to be on its last legs for next year, then this is the blog for you. Alternatively, you could use some of the tips below to bring your home into 2024 using smaller home accessories. So, let’s get started.

Sofa Style Trends

Low Profile Sofas

It’s all about low-profile sofas in 2024. What most people don’t know about low couches is that they tend to look more modern and sophisticated. They can also provide the illusion of spaciousness in a small room because their low height can make the ceiling appear higher than it actually is. Shorter adults will also find this style particularly comfortable because low-profile sofas can benefit those of less than average height. Just like with an office chair, a person’s feet should always touch the floor when seated. A person’s knees should also be bent at a 90-degree angle in order to make it easier to get up. One last point that is worth mentioning is that your TV will impact whether you can or can’t accommodate a low-profile sofa. Not many people will think of this and it does impact your decision to invest in this sofa style. For example, if your TV sits on a low stand, you’ll need a low sofa to accommodate your line of sight. Alternatively, if your TV is mounted high on the wall, a sofa that is propped up by legs and has a high back is the best choice for this situation. If you happen to tick all of these boxes, then your next decision is colour, stick to the list above if you want to represent the New Year.

Large Scale Sofas

In somewhat of a contrast to the above statement, large-scale sofas are also popular in the New Year. This means big sectionals and chunky modular sofas are the ones worth investing in for 2024. Focus on bold L-shaped and corner sofas upholstered in the upcoming on-trend colours. Modular sofas first appeared on our radar during COVID-19. The idea of making every room multipurpose not only intrigued us but was necessary for most of us too! Sofas that pieced together and could be made into a range of different shapes was something that offered us incredible versatility and just because the majority of us have returned to the office, that doesn’t mean that these aren’t as necessary as they once were. In fact, they’re needed even more with an increase in open-plan spaces in our homes.

Curved Sofas

One of next year’s trends that are likely to gain a lot of traction is the shift from sharp angles and edges to natural, flowing shapes, in other words, biophilic design. In 2024, this will be best represented in an abundance of rounded and curved sofa suites. The curved sofa first originated in the 1950s and with the resurgence of retro styles, it's back with a bang. We are embracing this new trend and welcoming elegant contours, an inviting feel, and a sense of comfort and security into our homes.

Tufted Sofas

The Brandon Sofa above perfectly represents the upcoming trends of 2024. Why? Mainly because of its beautiful tufted detail but also because of its low profile. The tufted design is something completely new for us and quite frankly, we’re loving it! It invites people to come and sit on it all the while maintaining an elegance that is similar to that held by the most expensive sofas in the world. This plush style is perfect for a modern interior but would equally work well when styled in a more traditional way too!
