At House Beautiful, our shopping editors keep an eye on the latest interior design trends to know, whether that conversation is on light fixtures or circus tent stripes. Nothing escapes us and right now, corduroy couches are seemingly everywhere, from our social media feeds to House Beautiful’s most recent Whole Home, where local interior designer Kate Marker included not one but two corduroy couches in the library. “The material’s masculine appeal was suited to the overall vibe we were trying to emulate in the room,” she says. “We wanted to use corduroy as an added element of texture and dimension. Not to mention, it’s soft and cozy, perfect for our intention of designing a multipurpose room.”
Corduroy, as you likely know, is a much less expected material in couches than say leather or velvet, so if you want to opt for something unique, you can’t go wrong with corduroy. Marker adds, “It also offers a more relaxed and laid-back aesthetic compared to the luxurious feel of velvet or the sleekness of leather.” It’s also a not-so-subtle blast from the past. Corduroy was a commonly used material for both furniture and clothing in the 1970s, which was a fun and charismatic time for design, so we’re all for bringing it back in a big way.
Whether you're on the hunt for a new couch, or simply want to see gorgeous imagery, we rounded up our favorite corduroy seatings to shop ahead. Embrace one of the year’s biggest and most loved trends.
First up, we're coming in hot with a modular piece that is available in 16 colors, so if the idea of a pale sofa freaks you out, rest assured that there are plenty of darker hues to choose from. However, some of them can take up to 10 weeks to ship because they're made to order. As is the case with any modular piece of furniture, this arrives in multiple pieces that you can arrange however you see fit.
There are two corner chairs and and one armless chair, so feel free to set it up as pictured or push the armed pieces together and place the middle piece on either end, creating a tiny L-shaped sectional. The most interesting part of this sofa is something you can't immediately see: its Greenguard Gold Certificate, which means it's built to contribute to safer, healthier air (no toxins or harsh chemicals) in your home.
If this sofa is doing it for you, don't wait to buy it because it's already sold out in two of the five colors. The ones still in stock are ginger (pictured), dark gray, and beige. At 79 inches wide, this adorable throwback staple is an ideal pick for any small space. What it lacks in size, though, it makes up for in coziness, courtesy of the large, sturdy arms and included leaning pillows. One happy customer says, "I was hesitant to order a loveseat online without having seen it in person first, but this was a wonderful choice. It is very comfortable, easy to put together, and I like that it is a modular system."
If this 89-inch sofa is a bit too big for your space, know that it also comes in a loveseat size that is just 71 inches wide. No matter which one you get, it will be equipped with a solid wood frame and high-density foam back and seat cushions, so you'll have no issue getting comfy here. It also comes in three additional colors, including a moody blue. Whether you get it in the darker shades or white, you'll be able to wash the cushion covers should they look dirty.
You may not be able to see the gentle stripes of the corduroy, but the iconic fabric is easily one of the best elements of this sofa, which is also available in a creamy white shade. It's also modular, so feel free to customize the arrangement in any specific way that adapts to your living space. One customer says, "I'm an interior designer and am using these in a model home. The chairs are a great size. People always comment on how comfortable they are. The quality looks great for the price." One thing to look out for? Some customers say the pieces ship or arrive on different days, so if you're in a hurry to get a sofa, you may want to peep a different one. However, free white glove delivery is included—no matter when the pieces arrive. No one has said that they arrive weeks apart. If, for whatever reason, one piece arrives later than the others, it's only a few days difference.
As you may be able to tell, this is not exactly something you'd try to make work in a small living room. That said, because it's modular, you don't necessarily have to arrange it like it is in the photo, which is pretty sizable. If you're trying to save space, you can always create a pit sofa by putting the two ottomans in the middle instead of on the end as a chaise. No matter how you configure the pieces, though, this sofa is large. After all, there are seven pieces! All of the assembly tools you'll need to put it together are included, so if you have about 60 minutes or so, create the shape of your dreams yourself. Otherwise, enlist a professional for $104.
On its own, the Celine armless sofa may look a bit unfinished, and that's because, technically it could be. This is just one piece of the Celine collection that, when paired with others, can create an elegant sofa in pretty much any shape. The other pieces include an armless chair, ottoman, and corner chair with an arm, so get as wild as you want when designing your customizable corduroy couch. Did we mention that there's zero assembly required? One reviewer says, "This sectional is both beautiful and comfortable. The corduroy fabric is so soft and luxurious. It's also so comfortable!"
There's nothing more cozy than a sofa complete with overstuffed cushions. Case in point: this Uspride Furniture sectional that has both plush seat and back cushions. It also includes three throw pillows and comes in gray, ivory, and this earthy olive tone. It ships in only two boxes, but takes a little while to put together, so make sure you save this project for a time when you have at least an hour to spend assembling. If, for whatever reason, you're not as in love with this piece as we are, you have three whole months to return it free of charge.
If you have the space to incorporate a pit sofa into your living room, we highly suggest snagging one because it's as comfortable as it looks. It combines the best of beds and couches, and what could possibly be better than that during a Saturday night movie or a lazy Sunday morning? What's more, if you're looking at this and thinking it's going to be a pain to assemble, rest assured that you can score free white glove delivery. One customer, who bought this sofa in the ginger color, says, "Absolutely amazing! I love the soft corduroy, as it definitely elevates the room."
If you couldn't already tell, we have a thing for modular furniture. There's something encouraging about furniture you can configure according to your specific space. Whether you want an L-shape sectional, a pit sofa, or a traditional four-seater, the choice is totally yours. This creamy-hued find is easily one of our favorites—and not just because it's under $600. One happy customer says, "This couch is absolutely amazing. I love it. I bought two of them for the house!"
If you're thinking this Article sectional is a steal for under $1,000, we're sorry to burst your bubble: This is a modular sofa whose pieces are sold à la carte, so just the left arm is $899. If you're looking to invest in a high-quality piece that you'll have for years though, you can't go wrong with purchasing one, or several, of the pieces together. All of them come with loose reversible cushions that have removable covers, so you can pop them right off and bring them to the cleaners whenever you notice it's time for a heavy-duty cleaning. One reviewer says, "Beautiful color as pictured and comfy. Cushion is perfect, not too firm, not too soft."
