From Bouclé to Saddle Leather, These Textures Will Transform Your Home

Not to be confused with another soft fabric, bouclé, chenille is very soft and fuzzy — like snuggling up with a baby blanket. It's a popular upholstery material thanks to its marriage of coziness and durability; you'll also find it in decor accents such as pillows and throws. It's often used to "warm up" traditional or mid-mod furniture silhouettes that might feel too formal otherwise. For example, this Caladeron Loveseat ($483) is covered in textured chenille with a subtle chevron pattern. See how it freshens the traditional silhouette?
