The Sofa Edit: 2025’s Biggest Trends in Colour, Texture & Shape

If you’ve been contemplating a living room refresh, 2025 is the year to take the plunge. From bold hues to plush fabrics, this season’s sofas embody a sense of excitement and versatility, offering an array of options to suit every taste. While modular sofa designs continue to dominate for their flexibility, they’re far from the only trend taking centre stage. Think curved sofa silhouettes, vibrant colour palettes, and tactile upholstery that add an extra layer of comfort and style to your space.

Here’s a closer look at the biggest sofa trends of the year, and how THE One is reimagining them with its latest collections.

A Shift Towards Colour Confidence

Neutral, light-toned seating—like the timeless 2 seater sofa in beige—remains a go-to choice for minimalist or natural-inspired interiors. However, 2025 is embracing bolder, brighter statements. Rich, deep tones are making their way into the spotlight, with hues like navy and forest green adding a sophisticated twist to the trend.

• Subtle Natural Shades: If you’re a fan of neutrals, there’s no need to worry. Beige, cream, and soft greys continue to provide a timeless foundation, perfect for pairing with bold accessories. The CANON 2-seater sofa in beige is a brilliant example of this balance. Drawing inspiration from classic English and mid-century designs, it combines timeless elegance with modern versatility. Its chenille upholstery in a soft beige tone creates the ideal canvas for vibrant cushions or a colourful throw, giving you the flexibility to easily refresh the look.
• Vibrant Hues: For those looking to embrace a little more personality, velvet sofas in deep browns, warm mustard tones, and even muted pastels are making a statement. These rich hues don’t just add vibrancy to the room—they also evoke a sense of vintage glamour, exuding a luxurious, elevated feel.

Texture Takes Centre Stage

When it comes to textiles, 2025 is all about the tactile experience. Sofas with lush, textured upholstery—from soft chenille to plush velvet—instantly create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Pair these with equally tactile accessories, like woven throws or lunar cushions, to amplify the effect and bring even more comfort and style to your space.

• Velvet Revival: Vintage-inspired, curved velvet sofas are making a major comeback, bringing opulence to living rooms of all sizes. These sofas honour retro design yet blend seamlessly with contemporary settings. When paired with modern rugs or sleek coffee tables, they elevate your living space with an air of sophistication and luxury.
• Chenille & Textured Accents: Chenille, as seen in the CANON 2-seater sofa, has a subtle sheen that catches the light, adding visual depth and richness. Textured fabrics like bouclé—known for their nubby, looped feel—are also becoming increasingly popular for their warm, inviting vibe. Both materials are not only beautiful but also practical, being durable and forgiving, making them ideal for busy households.

Curved & Sculptural Silhouettes

While minimalist, straight-lined furniture continues to hold appeal, 2025 is all about embracing the beauty of organic, curved shapes. A curved sofa not only adds an effortlessly stylish touch to your space, but it also creates a more intimate and inviting seating arrangement—perfect for cosy conversations and laid-back lounging.

• Soft & Inviting: Curved backs and arms naturally create a nurturing environment that feels both contemporary and classic. These sculptural shapes work wonderfully in open-plan living spaces, where they can serve as a statement piece without overwhelming the room. Their soft lines bring a sense of flow, making the space feel more connected and inviting.
• Playful Configurations: In smaller spaces, curved silhouettes help break up the sharp angles of typical layouts, creating a more harmonious feel. Pair a curved sofa with a round coffee table or ottoman to complete the look, and watch how effortlessly it flows and adds a sense of balance to the space. 

The Ongoing Allure of Modular Designs

The modular sofa remains a beloved choice for good reason—its appeal lies in the ability to create a bespoke seating arrangement tailored to your lifestyle and space. Right from the start, modular sofas offer unmatched flexibility, allowing you to design your own unique creation. Whether you’re shaping a sofa to complement your room’s layout or selecting pieces that match your style, the possibilities are endless.

By choosing individual sections, you can craft a sofa that perfectly suits your needs—from a spacious lounging area to a more compact, functional seating arrangement. This adaptability means your sofa can work in any space, no matter the size or shape.

As your lifestyle and needs evolve, your sofa can evolve with you. Add or remove sections, or adjust its layout, to create the perfect seating solution for any phase of life. Whether you’re settling into a new home or simply redesigning your current space, modular sofas make it easy to stay flexible and stylish.
