Your home should always reflect your tastes and preferences. Still, it doesn\u2019t hurt to be mindful of what\u2019s trending and what combinations are currently popular regarding upholstery and curtaining fabrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curtaining trends are more easily implemented\u2014especially on small-scale windows\u2014but upholstery trends require some special consideration as upholstery fabric and costs are much more expensive. Being 100% on target with your upholstery choices in 2023 is an important part of creating a stylish and trending home for the new year.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you opt for a one-hit-wonder trend, you\u2019ll likely be stuck with hideous couches and terrible recliners for a couple of years (or slipcovers to hide poor judgment). So here are some significant trends for 2023 that you can invest in with a smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just What Makes an Upholstery Trend Special?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Upholstery trends need to last. Curtains can be replaced fairly cost-effectively, but once a furniture item is upholstered, you\u2019re stuck with the choice for many years. Predicting a trend likely to be long-lived is a great way to make the most of your furniture and upholstery choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Upholstery Trends in 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of all the furniture and upholstery trends that we can expect in 2023, these are the top trends you can keep an eye out for or revamp your home with to wow your family and neighbors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Art Deco Curves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With a return to more organic shapes, art deco-style furniture with curves and natural shaping has regained popularity again. In living spaces that are streamlined for comfort and simplicity, these curved furniture items become natural canvasses for your chosen upholstery fabric, so choose carefully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Muted Colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Earthy colors in muted tones are making a serious comeback in 2023. Opt for mushroom, sandstone, and peach pink colors to create a harmonious decor scheme.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Understated Patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you love patterns, you must curb your natural over-the-top patterns to a more neutral-toned pattern that compliments the furniture\u2019s curves. Choosing a muted wicker print or wood pattern is not a bad idea, but save these prints for areas that won\u2019t be in-your-face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Fabric Types for 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With comfort in mind, microfiber and microsuede is top of the list, closely followed by natural fabrics like linen and cotton. Many designers are turning to eco-friendly designs, so eco-friendly fabrics like microfiber (made from reclaimed plastic bottles) remain a huge hit.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Unusual Color Combinations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you had hoped to have a brown year in 2023, guess again. The color combinations that you may consider are far from boring. Fortunately, Kovi fabrics offers a sample service so you can try it before you buy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order a few samples like Mint Green<\/a>, Petal Pink<\/a>, or Heather Lilac<\/a> in microfiber to combine with muted patterns like this muted abstract Fawn pattern<\/a>, or add something mysterious with the muted stripes of Whisper<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Woven and Textured Fabrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, you can expect delicate weaves combined with heavier textures that create interesting areas for your touch to explore. Chenille fabric makes a comeback with beautiful stripes woven into the fabric with different textures, such as this Duck Egg pattern<\/a>\u2014ideal for that seaside look you\u2019ve always wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, go for pure neutrals like this Charcoal Chenille<\/a> upholstery with a luxurious must-run-your-hand-over nubby texture that will glow up your sofa or cozy armchair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Fur-Friendly Fabrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With remote working set to continue as companies decentralize their workforces to meet changing demands and build global teams, you may spend much more time at home with your fur friends in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, opt for a fabric that will provide lasting quality and a luxurious finish, such as these Crypton fabrics in neutral colors with muted patterns. We love:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
