Sofas are a central furnishing element and they are essential for giving your rooms a modern and trendy look. Given its importance, it is vital to select your sofa with care and accuracy. But which are the trendiest sofas of 2021? Here’s a list of the most popular options.

Scandinavian Style Sofa

It is a fact: the popularity of the Scandinavian design skyrocketed in the last decade. Characterised by neutral tones and minimal features, this style reflects the contemporary minimalistic aesthetics. Easy to match with every surrounding context, Scandinavian design is able to combine comfort and practicality with minimalist elegance. Thanks to its adaptability, a Scandinavian sofa is perfect if you want to insert various decoration themes in your room. In addition to the most classic L-shape design, a new kind of sofa is getting increasing popularity, and this is the modular sofa. Also known as sectional sofa, it is composed by individual pieces arrangeable in different ways. The main benefits of the modular sofa are its multi-functionalism and flexibility which offer the opportunity

to transform the room in which it is placed in a second.

Shabby chic and vintage

Unexpectedly, a new trend emerged in interior design in the last ten years and this is the interest in vintage or shabby chic furniture. Maybe fuelled by nostalgia for old times, maybe thanks to an increased eco-consciousness, this trend is strongly influencing the design scene. Even if the tendency to add a vintage element to spaces has been present for a while, it never loses its charm. However, it is not necessary to spend hours in vintage shops to find a sofa that meets the vintage taste. Nowadays, designers are able to combine the refinement of yesterday with the knowledge of today and thus producing vintage-looking sofas that benefit from the current technical advancements. The main characteristic of a shabby chic sofa is to give the sensation of an ancient space renewed accurately and elegantly.

Industrial sofa

The 2021 most hazardous trend is that of the industrial type of sofa. This piece of furniture is the real innovation of the year and will immediately give, to the room in which it is placed, a contemporary and stylish look. Not only it is completely different from the two aforementioned styles of sofas for its shape, but also for the material it is made of. Instead of being made of fabric, it is made in leather or eco- friendly leather which adds to the sofa an aggressive and rocking tone.

Mostly produced in a brown tobacco colour, it has the benefit of being elegant without being too eye-catching. Moreover, it is well-known for providing a comfortable and cosy seat.
