Buying Guide

Caroline Patterson Interior Design Expert

Caroline is a New York-based interior designer and home decor writer with a strong focus on textiles and designer furniture. Drawing on rigorous training and a deep understanding of material quality and fabric care, she helps readers choose pieces that are both durable and visually refined, turning everyday rooms into cohesive, practical spaces.

Print fabric sofas can come in all sorts of upholstery designs and in different styles of sofa, from the student dorm room foldout sofa to formal sofas reminiscent of the Victorian era. Sofas are large pieces of furniture that can dominate a room, so selecting the print for a fabric upholstered or even a cowhide leather sofa deserves some careful consideration, especially if the sofa is part of a set.

What are the most popular prints on fabric sofas?

Stripes

Narrow, colorful stripes can be a good choice for print sofas. The stripes can coordinate with other furnishings in the room, and also with solid colored throw pillows. Thoughtful positioning of the striped sofa can pull the viewer’s eye toward a picture or a window, simply because the visual tendency is to follow the stripes.

Plaid

Plaids are a popular choice for sofas that will be part of a country estate theme. They can easily make one think of Scottish hunting lodges and the like, with English gentlemen or even Scottish gentlemen taking time away from the hustle and bustle of cities. Accompanied by mounted trophies, stonework and heavy wooden furniture, a plaid sofa can be quite imposing.

Delicate Florals

Team a sofa that is upholstered in delicate floral fabric with matching chairs, or with chairs that are upholstered in a solid color that matches or complements part of the print pattern. Add solid colored pillows, and soft, demurely patterned crocheted throws for a gentle effect.

Bold Florals

Cabbage roses, thistles, hollyhocks – you name your favorite flower and picture it larger than life on your sofa. This treatment requires equally bold accouterments for the room – a large brass vase filled with peacock feathers, for example, heavy swag drapes that pick up the color of the flowers, and sturdy furniture that can stand up to such a statement as is made by a boldly patterned floral sofa.

Cow Hide

While not precisely a print (although it can be) cow hide upholstery with the fur still on can be quite a statement. Depending on the hide pattern, it can be busy or bold or both – depending on whether the cow was dappled, pinto or Holstein. To allow that pattern to pop, tone down the colors and patterns of other furniture in the room.

Other Animal Patterns

With today’s modern fabric manufacturing, you don’t need to skin an animal to enjoy nature’s patterns on your sofa. You can easily select from leopard print, zebra stripes or giraffe spots to allow your furniture to express your wild side. Just remember that such furnishings can be overwhelming if used too extensively – although if you are going for a jungle safari look while using only a camera to seek your prey, these animal prints can be just right.

Print fabric sofas can perk up a room, but they and the other furnishings in the room should be selected carefully to avoid overwhelming the viewer. Rooms that are too busy can be fatiguing to the eye and brain, so plan accessories to your sofa carefully.
