Unless you've been under a rock lately you will know one of the hottest trends of 2023 is Bouclé, with its lavish appearance and snuggly, cosy texture. Bouclé is a looped yarn or the resulting textural fabric woven from this yarn. The yarn is made from a length of loops of similar size, which can range from tiny circlets to large curls.

We can thank Coco Chanel for the initial popularity of ‘buckled tweed’ – otherwise known as bouclé – featured on her iconic tailored jacket which sought to free women from the confining pinch waisted silhouettes of the time. Its popularity catapulted after icons like Jackie O started to wear it. Through the years boucle fabric has endured as a timeless style statement, and it wasn't long before it was covering furniture as well as catwalks.

During 2022, furniture and architecture began to move away from the angular and geometric lines popular in past years – being replaced by softer, wavier lines. Alongside this, softer colours and neutrals have been reinvented to create warm and cosy homes, that have inspiration within luxurious hotel suites and modern spas.

The Boucle trend is an easy partner to neutrals and curved silhouettes, elevating furniture pieces to create eye catching statement pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also soft and cosy. Not only is this bouclé aesthetically pleasing and hot on trend, but it’s surprisingly hard-wearing and easy to care for. Perfect for even the busiest of households, bouclé is a must-have for creating a warm, relaxed but elegant home interior.

If you’re looking to add a sense of neutrality and calmness to your home then this is the perfect way to do so. Simplistic in nature and soft to touch, the boucle fabric provides an element of comfort and warmth to your room. Pair with accents of gold and striking silhouettes to create the ultimate style statement.
