2018’s sofa scene is indicating a major shift toward the opulent. Plump, curvy silhouettes, deep jewel tones, and luxe materials are making a big splash in living rooms everywhere. And while the luxury look may seem reserved for the 1 percent among us, these trendy sofa looks are achievable for us Regular Joes, too.

We’ve broken down the latest sofa trends by style, color, and material. We’re excited to show you what’s hot for 2018 – and how to get the look yourself.

Trending Sofa Styles

This year we’re seeing more and more sofas with plump, overstuffed silhouettes and plenty of space to kick back and relax. The exposed legs and delicate designs of Mid-century sofas and settees are still mega-popular,  but we’re also seeing a trend toward indulgent over-sized frames, chaise sectionals, and low, curvy profiles.

Comfy & Cozy

Plush cushions and over-sized chaise sectionals are some of 2018’s top trends in living room furniture. Large, plump cushions and king-sized silhouettes are all the rage right now … And this means plenty of comfort and relaxation for you.

Curvy Silhouettes

Sofas with curvy, rounded edges are having a major moment in 2018. Traditional ’70s colors such as mustard, sage, and persimmon lend a healthy dose of vintage flair. To keep your space anchored in the modern era, choose of-the-moment shades like cobalt blue or millennial pink.

Old-School Style

If you’re a fan of the Mid-century aesthetic, fear not – this vintage-inspired trend isn’t going anywhere. Clean lines, cushion tufting, and exposed wooden legs are still super-hot in home décor. To bring this look into your own home, look for tuxedo or cabriole-style sofas.

Sofa Color Trends

The use of color is one of 2018’s biggest trends when it comes to home design and furniture. From paint and décor to bedding and upholstery, there’s never been a better time to express yourself with your favorite shades.

Deep Jewel Tones

One of the hottest color trends we’ve seen this year is the increased use of bold, rich jewel tones. Deep purples, emerald greens, and shades of blue ranging from teal to sapphire to navy are taking over homes across the globe. A statement sofa is the perfect way to infuse this trend into your own space.

Pretty in Pink

“Millennial pink” was one of 2017’s hottest hues, and we’re happy to report that this flirty, feminine shade is here to stay in 2018. From blush and baby pink to salmon and dusty rose, this trendy tone can make any space feel a little softer, warmer, and sweeter. If pink isn’t quite your thing, we’re also seeing a major trend toward purple-y tones such as lavender and mauve.

Those ’70s Shades

Five years ago, the thought of welcoming back ’70s-inspired colors  would have sent most of us into peals of laughter and cries of “yeah, right.” But as it always does, the wheel of style just kept turning … And here we are in 2018 celebrating gold, green, and rusty orange as some of the season’s trendiest shades. Go with an ultra-saturated hue to make a bold statement, or apply the trend more subtly with earthy, muted shades.

Material & Upholstery Trends

It appears that this year’s upholstery trends are skewing toward the luxurious and the detailed. Rich materials such as velvet and leather lend an air of sophistication, while tufted backs and seats create texture and visual interest.

Velvet

As one of the hottest emerging material trends, velvet has become a year-round staple in closets and common areas alike. No longer reserved for winter months and special occasions, velvet has become an everyday fabric that adds a touch of elegance and opulence to any space.

Tufting

Bold tufting is one of our favorite trends of the year, and we love how easy it is to incorporate into the living room. Traditional button tufting, vintage-inspired channel tufting, and the ultra-modern all-over look provide a healthy dose of detail and drama.

With these trends in mind, you can shop for your newest sofa with confidence. Check out Centrepiece’s incredible selection of styles, colors, and materials to find the perfect piece for your space.

Sofa Secrets: How to Choose the Right Seat Depth and Cushions

Pick the right seat cushion and you’ll stay in love with your sofa for years

You want your sofa to be super comfortable, right? That’s why you need to pay special attention to the seat cushions. Factors like seat depth and cushion fill work together to create different amounts of support and softness. Not everyone will like the same kind of cushions, so here’s how to choose the best combination for your personal tastes.

The importance of seat depth. When shopping for a comfortable sofa, one of the most important things to pay attention to is the inside seat depth. This is different from the overall depth, which is the distance from the back of the sofa to the front.

The inside seat depth is measured from the front of the seat to the back cushion. An average sofa’s seat depth ranges from 21 to 24 inches, but you can find many options outside of that range.

If you like to sit upright in your sofa, choose a shorter seat depth. The exact number will vary depending on your height, but 20 to 22 inches tends to be a good range for most people to sit up comfortably. To figure out the seat depth you prefer, sit in a few different sofas and measure the one that works best for you.

If you like to lounge back or sit with your feet tucked up on the sofa, a deeper seat depth is probably good for you. Go for a depth that’s at least 23 inches, and feel free to go even deeper.

Seat depth and design. Don’t forget to consider the size of your room when choosing seat depth. A super deep sofa doesn’t work well in a small space — it just looks out of place. If a deep seat is important to you but you have a small space, go for an inside depth of 23 inches. And to avoid having a comically large-looking sofa, balance a deeper seat with either low arms or visible legs. This keeps your space looking open instead of overwhelmed by the sofa.

Seat height. If you have difficulty getting out of low seats, make sure to measure the seat height of any sofa you’re considering. This is how high off the ground the seat is. If a seat is lower than 18 inches, it might be hard to get up from, especially if the seat depth is more than 23 inches.

The inner life of seat cushions. There are a few different ways to construct a seat cushion, and the inside design determines a seat’s level of support and comfort. Most cushions are constructed with a supportive core surrounded by a soft layer. It’s the materials in those parts that determine the firmness of the cushion. While each manufacturer has its own seat cushion options, most are a variation of the following four types.

1. 100 percent down. Cushions that are 100 percent down do not have a middle core — they’re basically huge bed pillows. They’re incredibly soft, but it comes at a cost. All-down cushions flatten out quickly because there’s no core to help them hold their shape. As a result, they require a lot of flipping and fluffing. And since they lack a core, over time you may be able to feel the sofa suspension beneath them.

2. Down-wrapped. If you like to sink down into your sofa, go with a down-wrapped cushion. This type of cushion consists of a foam core wrapped in down. You’ll still get a nice, soft seat but the cushions won’t flatten out as quickly as 100 percent down. That said, they still may require frequent flipping and rotating to keep their shape.

3. Fiber-wrapped. Fiber-wrapped cushions have a foam core wrapped in polyester fiber. These still provide a soft seat, but they’re a little more supportive than the down-filled options. They’re also better at holding their shape, so they aren’t as high-maintenance.

4. Inner-spring. The most supportive seat cushions will have an inner-spring core (imagine the inside of a mattress) instead of a foam core. The spring core is often wrapped in down, but you can also find it with a fiber wrapping. This option is great if you want a supportive seat and don’t want to worry about a cushion holding its shape.

Final consideration: How many cushions? A single seat cushion is called a bench seat. You’ll see it on many modern styles, but bench seats are also a great way to update a more traditional frame. This style has several benefits: You can squeeze a bunch of people on your sofa without someone having to sit on a crack, you won’t lose change or toys between the cushions. It also transforms into a great makeshift bed for overnight guests. The negative: These cushions are a little more difficult to flip or rotate.

Sofas with two seat cushions are a roomy spot for two people to relax. They can be found on both traditional and more modern styles. The downside to this configuration is that if you wanted a third person to sit down, they would have to sit in the crack between the cushions.

Three seat cushions provide an individual spot for three people to sit. While many traditional styles have three seat cushions, this look is also found on more modern styles. Three cushions may not look as clean-lined as a bench seat or two cushions, but this is a great choice if you want to maximize seating space.

Customize for the perfect piece.

Having difficulty finding the perfect seat combination? Look into ordering a custom sofa. Many manufacturers can change sofa dimensions and cushion configurations to suit your needs. For example, the sofa in this picture typically comes with two seat cushions, but it was customized to have a bench seat instead

Whether you like to lounge for hours, or prefer a more formal sitting arrangement, choosing the right sofa plays a major part in the enjoyment of your home.

Comfort is an individual matter, so test out plenty of sofas before considering looks and finish. At our workshop, the showroom space is small but we have sample seatings of various hardness and density for you to test out. Our store almost guarantees that you will be happy with the custom made sofa before it is delivered to you. Therefore it is a good indicator that your sofa will be a good buy in the long term.

As we get more conscious with our spending, many sofa retailers are offering products with organic coverings, sustainable wood frames or the potential to recycle fully at the end of use.

The quality of your sofa is very important if you want to reupholstered your sofa in future. A poor quality mass produced sofa will probably be declined by your upholster because it is just not worth it. Save yourself the embarressment and make sure you deal with the best right from the start.

Tips On Buying Sofas For Either Work Or Play

Sofas are not just for the home nowadays. Many places of business, from offices to mechanic shops, have sofas for their customers to sit on during their walk-ins. What do you need to look for when buying a sofa for your business?

Durability

This has to be the most important factor to figure in when purchasing a new sofa for your business. Hopefully, you will have lots of customers so you need to make sure that the sofa you choose is durable enough to handle a heavy traffic area. Chances are that the sofas which are made well with quality material will be more highly priced than other sofas. But the extra money will be worth it in the long run when the sofa lasts you many years instead of just a few months.

You will also want to make it so that that the sofa has a material that is very easy to clean. Even if there is no drinking or eating in the area, the sofa will still tend to get not so clean from so many people sitting on it or from children climbing on it or putting their feet up. You might even think about buying a sofa with fancy fabrics, since the fabrics have patterns so spills are harder to spot and is easier to keep clean.

Size

One of the largest problems in buying a sofa for an office is the fact that while you will need a lot of space for seating, you don’t have that much space in a small office for a large sofa. If that is the case, then you might want to consider purchasing a sectional sofa. Sectional sofas can be placed into the corner of any room without taking up a lot of space. Sectional sofas can also be made into two or more loveseats or chairs.

Upholstery – Sofa Restoration Tips from Centrepiece Furnishings

What material?

Choose a cotton-and-polyester mix for durability, particularly on sofas that are subject to more wear and tear. Some people, especially in hot and humid Singapore, prefer 100-percent cotton because it breathes. When re-upholstering a décor piece, such as a hallway chair that isn’t used often, you could choose a more delicate material, such as silk.

Which colour?

Choosing a colour really depends on your individual taste. We have a range of European fabrics from classic to contemporary.

Any money-saving tips?

Go bargain-hunting. One of our clients found an amazing armchair that is at least thirty years old, and she only paid $200 for it. It has seen better days, but it will look great once we’ve restored it.

Maintenance matters

When it comes to cleaning your sofa, you can choose either machine-washable fabric or a fixed material that we will Scotch Guard to prevent staining. If you have kids or animals, go for machine-washable!

Grey sofa is the classic trendy piece that cant go wrong for now.

It’s the most neutral neutral.

Because gray is a mixture of black and white, with little or no specific color undertone, it is the most neutral hue possible, meaning it can anchor absolutely any color scheme.

Notice how this room reads a strong presence of neutral, even though only a few accessories actual show any color.

Gray makes colors pop (like vivid black) while feeling fresh and clean (like stark white), so you can play with pillow accents endlessly and never clash.

Trends will come and go, but gray will always slip right into a new palette perfectly.

Choose to custom made a grey sofa with one of the best sofa makers in Singapore. Export it back home and you will have a piece of lasting sofa that you can feel proud for the longest time.

Outdoor cushions made with style

Outdoor cushions are a wonderful way to add style and colour to your patio and backyard, but are outdoor cushions waterproof?

First and foremost, the water resistance level of your cushions depends on the fabric they are made of. Small and primarily decorative outdoor cushions are most commonly made of polypropeline or polyethane. Although these fabrics are not waterproof, they are water resistant. This means that the cushions are able to resist the penetration of water to a certain degree, but not completely.

Many outdoor cushions contain a foam that is specifically produced for water to pass through, ensuring the cushion doesn’t become waterlogged. This makes them significantly more resistant to water than memory foam and other foams that are commonly used for indoor furnishings.

Sunbrella fabrics are commonly used for outdoor seat cushions and outdoor bench covers, due to their high level of tolerance to UV rays. Sunbrella canvas upholstery consists of a metallic sheen alloy that allows water and UV light to pass through the fibres. Although this certainly does not make the cushions waterproof, it means that they are more likely to keep their quality in a harsh environment.

Outdoor cushions made out of less porous fabrics such as oilcloth are indeed waterproof. Oilcloth consists of a finely weft linen with a coating of boiled linseed oil. Although cushions made from oilcloth are waterproof, their tough and stiff nature makes them more subject to rips than cushions made of a softer fabric. This also makes them far less comfy.

To ensure your cushions stay at the highest possible quality, it is recommended to pre-treat them with waterproofing spray prior to use to increase the level of water resistance. We also recommend storing your cushions undercover when not in use to avoid any spoilage caused by unexpected downpours.

Although the majority of fabrics used to produce outdoor cushions are water resistant, rather than waterproof, they are still far sturdier than indoor cushions. Indoor cushions are made more for comfort than weather resistance and are commonly made of polyester or cotton blends. For this reason, never use indoor cushions outside!
