4 of our most popular fabrics to inspire your interiors in 2021

If you’re one of the many homeowners thinking about a new look for your interiors this year, your sofa is a great place to start. As the centrepiece of your room, its appearance and style has an unrivalled influence on setting the overall atmosphere for your interiors. That’s just one reason why something as simple as a new loose sofa cover can be such an effective and budget-friendly way to transform the entire look.

Some clear customer favourites have already started edging ahead, so we wanted to take a moment to highlight them for you – maybe they’ll serve as ample inspiration for refreshing the look of your own interiors!

1. Signature Herringbone Caramel

Signature Herringbone Caramel is without a doubt one of the nation’s favourite sofa fabrics, and with plenty of good reasons! Whatever the colour scheme or style of your home, you can rest assured that Herringbone Caramel will fit in seamlessly, thanks to a timeless design that consistently makes it one of our best-selling fabrics. The Signature Herringbone Caramel is distinguished by the characteristic zigzag patterns across its surface, all of which give it a wonderfully tactile nature while at the same time lending it a distinctive touch of elegance. It’s a classic choice for your sofa, and one with which you’ll never go wrong.

2. Luxury Cotton Weave Regency Grey

The Luxury Cotton Weave Regency Grey is another consistently popular loose sofa cover of ours here at Cover My Furniture. Like the Herringbone Caramel, its true strength lies in its versatility, as it’s perfectly at home to traditional and contemporary interiors alike.

It’s a particularly attractive choice for buyers who prefer a minimalist contemporary look, as its no-fuss appearance helps to create a very serene atmosphere that’s uniquely well-suited to minimalist interiors. In our recent post on the best on-trend styles for 2021, we touched upon the understated Scandi style, and it probably comes as no surprise that our Luxury Cotton Weave Regency Grey is often one of the first considerations for anyone looking to achieve this calming effect for their own interiors.

Equally, it’s an excellent choice if you want to incorporate Pantone’s Colour of the Year into your interiors. This year, Pantone’s choice is actually a combination of two colours – Ultimate Grey and Illuminating Yellow, intended to signify resolve and optimism respectively. That’s quite a powerful message for your interiors to send, so if you like the idea of a colour scheme that gives you an uplifting daily reminder of strength and hope, our first recommendation would be to pair the Luxury Cotton Weave Regency Grey with Luxury Velvet – Sunshine – that bright cheerful colour wonderfully offsets those the more neutral grey tone.

3. Everyday Velvet – Azure

While our last two sofa cover fabrics have always been timeless classics, Azure Everyday Velvet has seen a recent surge in popularity, especially from our customers here at Cover My Furniture. And let’s be honest, it’s not hard to see why so many people love velvet, especially given the way life is right now.

Millions of people currently have very limited choices in terms of when and how they can leave the house, and have had to make huge sacrifices in how they live their day-to-day lives. That’s naturally led to a renewed focus on maximising creature comforts and creating an atmosphere that’s even more homely and welcoming, ultimately helping them to stay as happy and comfortable as possible in the same four walls.

That’s formed the genesis of the current nationwide trend towards Opulent Grandeur, with lovely velvet sofas at its heart. After all, who doesn’t love the idea of finishing a long day of work (even if that only involves a short trip from the next room right now) and flopping down onto a sumptuously soft sofa? Plus, the calming shade of Azure lends itself particularly well to velvet sofas, its tone striking a unique balance between tranquility and decadence. What’s not to love?

4. Luxury Velvet – Juniper

Another of the richest colours to recently capture buyers’ imaginations, our Luxury Velvet Juniper sofa cover positively exudes a sense of luxury. Effortlessly blending practicality, comfort and style, it’s certainly another one to consider if you’re feeling inspired by the Opulent Grandeur trend we’ve discussed above. And while Azure Everyday Velvet radiates with its own relaxed glamour, a Luxury Velvet Juniper sofa cover can help you tap into a sense of something we’ve all been craving lately – a taste of the great outdoors.

At a time when most homeowners are feeling a bit starved of the outside world, it can help evoke a feeling of natural beauty inside your home. You can enhance the atmosphere further with plant life to create a sense of escapism, allowing everyday worries and stresses to simply drift away.

This is just a small sample of what we’ve got to choose from here at Cover My Furniture – whatever look or feel you want for your interiors, you can be sure that we’ve got the perfect sofa covers, chair covers and more.
