Known for its plush comfort and distinctive look, boucle has become a favourite for those wanting to add a touch of cosy sophistication to their interiors. At Koala Living, we’re fans of boucle’s unique charm and offer a curated selection of pieces to bring its inviting elegance into your home. In this guide, we’ll explore ways to style boucle for spaces that are both comfortable and refined.

Understanding Boucle Fabric

Imagine yourself sinking into a luxuriously soft, cloud-like chair, and you wonder, What exactly is a boucle, and why is everyone talking about it? Boucle, meaning "curled" or "looped" in French, has become a favourite in design for its cosy texture and classic appeal. Its story goes back to the mid-20th century, when designers like Coco Chanel made it famous in fashion, inspiring icons like Eero Saarinen to use it in pieces like the Womb Chair. Today, boucle’s unique texture and nostalgic charm have made it a staple in modern interiors, adding warmth and character to spaces that feel both timeless and fresh.

How To Style Boucle Within The Home

Add warmth and texture to your home with the timeless appeal of boucle. Here’s how to style this inviting fabric in your living room, bedroom, and dining area.

Boucle In The Living Area

Boucle transforms the living room into a shared sanctuary, where family moments are wrapped in warmth and luxury. This soft, cloud-like fabric brings a comforting presence, turning the room into a space where everyone can relax and unwind together. Picture sinking into the Everett Sofa, its textured boucle surface inviting you to settle in and enjoy the simple pleasure of being close to loved ones. The gentle curves and plush feel create an atmosphere that’s as sophisticated as it is welcoming.

Boucle’s neutral tones and soft texture pair effortlessly with wood accents, muted metals, or natural hues, creating a harmonious space that feels as warm and inviting as it looks. The Everett’s mid-century modern style and clean lines, along with a touch of boucle from pieces like the Alfie Chair, add quiet elegance to your living room. Whether for a movie night, a family gathering, or an evening spent together, boucle invites everyone to share in its timeless charm.
