Furniture Textures, Textiles, and Upholstery Materials Guide
From Bouclé to Saddle Leather, These Textures Will Transform Your Home
4
Bouclé is the soft, nubby textile you've been seeing everywhere — sofas, pillows, beds, etc. — for the past couple of years. This looped-yarn fabric is usually made from a mix of materials; wool blends are more luxurious, while polyester-based bouclé is more budget-friendly. Both can add soft texture to a room, and while ivory bouclé is trending, the material is perhaps more unexpected in dark colors. This Turoy swivel chair ($699) is offered in ivory, light gray, and an unexpectedly rich deep blue. One thing to consider: although bouclé can be durable, pet claws can become snagged in its loops.
