A ribbed corner sofa suits any living style

Rib or corduroy is back in fashion. It was already a trend in the 1970s and the fabric is now seen again in fashion but also in interiors. It is not limited to one type, the fabric comes in all kinds of shapes from a fine or coarse, to wide or flat rib. Does this fabric immediately make you think of rural interiors? Not at all, because with the latest designs, a ribbed corner sofa fits into any living style.

A corner sofa in ribbed fabric, bouclé or velvet

The need for warmth, cosiness and conviviality has returned. That is why you see a lot of warm materials like rib and velvet in interiors. Natural tones prevail, in both light and dark finishes. Think walnut-coloured kitchens and brown window coverings. The following different fabrics are now interior headliners:

- Rib fabric - Bouclé fabric - Velvet fabric

Discover your style

Comfort is of course paramount when choosing a sofa set. The look and style are the next steps. The Statement series, for example, is extra comfortable and is also available in various rib fabric versions.

At vtwonen, we especially see the soft bouclé fabric, applied to the Hang out 4-seater in the basic style of vtwonen. The Bag elements from the WOOOD brand have a round shape and are upholstered in a soft velvet fabric. The round shape makes it a striking appearance in your home. You can put the elements together yourself or expand on them.

So you will see a lot of round shapes with a cozy look this autumn. The Bean with a coarse corduroy is another good example.

Mix & Match the ribbed corner sofa

A rib fabric can be combined very well with different living styles. When styling for a chic interior, combine a light fine rib with brass and glass. A country style with white walls and furniture can be enhanced with a coarse rib in a warm colour.

Tough and vintage mixes well with coarse materials. If you opt for an elegant Japandi lifestyle, a fine light fabric is the right match. You can go either way with a corduroy, it can in any case be a good basis for the rest of your interior and styling!

Step-by-step plan for making the right choice

• Comfortable: first and foremost, it should be comfortable. Take a look at the product information and come and try it out.
• Practical: with sufficient seating. How many people should be able to sit on it as a minimum?
• Spatial: does the setting you have in mind fit well in the room? Lay newspapers on the floor to make a floor plan. Does it look big? Then choose a separate hocker in the same fabric and colour as the 3- or 4-seater.
• Discover the different models and fabrics: request a free fabric sample online

Of course, it is possible to come and test-sit at one of our dealers. Ask in advance whether a show model is available at the location.

And when you have succeeded! Then complete the seating area with a round rug for example, buy some nice decorative cushions and put a lovely plaid on the sofa. That way, you will bring a personal touch to the seating area and it will make you feel at home. Enjoy!
