For many, it is a reflection of life, a part of the image that shows flexibility, potential and taste. The ability to understand modern styles, future trends, furniture and more, allows you to form a demand for yourself as a developing specialist with a broad outlook.
Therefore, in today's article we offer information that can be used in practice (directly when choosing a new sofa), as well as to expand knowledge about the trends of the furniture industry.
What models and shapes of sofas are relevant in 2021
In the coming year, samples with simple, smooth shapes are more relevant, more reminiscent of a soft island than a classic sofa. They are voluminous, airy, often equipped with a wide seat, low back. There are no elements of a tree, like supports on armrests, a back. This shape differs favorably from the usual models with strict lines, because it looks and is more comfortable, relaxing. It does not restrict movement, does not cause tension, minimizes the risk of injury, for which many young families have fallen in love.
This construction is as if the opposite of a progressive, dynamic external world, balancing it with its peace, comfort, simplicity. Indeed, coming home from a modern, maybe even with a futuristic office finish, you do not want to get into the same environment again, but rather plunge into the enveloping softness of the home sofa. Such, convenient, smooth, without sharp transitions of the form, are popular in 2018.
Regarding the models, this season will be fashionable:
- corner sofas;
- island soft zones;
- modular systems.
Corner upholstered furniture has been kept in trend for several years in a row, which means it is suitable even for conservative individuals who are not used to abrupt changes in the environment. Among such models it is possible to pick up both classical L-shaped forms, with softening transitions, and the improved U-shaped options, with added elements like couches which are not limiting space by armrests.
The island's soft zones, whose design is diverse, have become popular only this season, as they previously had severe demand constraints due to high cost and the need for more space to install. But the situation has changed dramatically, because the island models began to produce more adapted for small apartments, whose inhabitants form most of the market.
Modular systems have been in trend for a couple of seasons, and currently they are not going to give up positions, all thanks to the versatility and effectiveness of these models. They are able to turn any living room into a cinema, as in the photo, or a brainstorming center. Thanks to the easy movement of the elements, in a matter of minutes they can be transformed from a convenient for discussion semicircle, into a wide springboard for sleeping.
