Print Fabric Sofas
These days, most people tend to gravitate towards unicolor furniture, especially for large pieces such as sofas. This is mainly because solid upholstery provides more decorating options. Other than that, they can sometimes end up looking a little too plain and characterless as time goes on.
So why not have fun with patterns instead? After all, nothing can beat the striking visual impact of print fabric sofas!
Whether you prefer subtle prints that don’t overpower the rest of the room or need a wow factor that’s a bit more dramatic, there’s a vast array of patterned sofas out there for any home style. Indeed, even the most modern of homes can benefit from a colorful accent piece!
Without further ado, here are ten types of attractive patterned fabric designs that can instantly refresh and beautify your mundane living room!

Sofa upholstered in subtle floral motifs
One of the most common fabric patterns used on sofas is flowers, and there are a few reasons for that!
For starters, floral prints come in a myriad of colors and styles, ranging from big, noticeable flowers to tropical leaves to dainty feminine blossoms and many more.
If you’re on the hunt for a couch that will most likely never go out of style, finely detailed blooms are the way to go! They’re elegant in appearance and bring a soft and inviting touch to any living space, just like flowers themselves.
Best of all, these delicate prints can blend in with most decors!
Vibrant floral prints on a sofa
What better way to add texture, personality, and splashes of color to a neutral-toned room than with a bright floral pattern on your sofa!
Not only will it create a cheerful ambiance in your space, but it can also serve as an anchor piece that ties the room together. Therefore, it can be used in conjunction with other colorful elements for a distinctive theme in your home.
Needless to say, a bold flowery sofa will surely grab your guests’ attention!

Striped couches with two or more different colors
Want to inject some patterns into your living room but are afraid of overwhelming the space? If this is the case, a striped sofa may be the most ideal choice for you.
Some stripes are narrow and subdued while others are wide and flashy, but it all goes down to personal preference.
Nonetheless, there are dozens of ways to work with stripes. For instance, vibrant stripes often look too busy when not properly styled so try toning them down with crisp white walls.
Another alternative is to pick out one to two shades from your striped sofa and repeat them throughout the room — through accessories, wall paint, or furniture for cohesiveness.

Geometric designs for a modern look
Stylish with a touch of modern eccentricity, geometric shapes are here to stay. They’re easily the best solution if you want to brighten up not only your sofa but your entire living area as well.
Undoubtedly, geometric print fabric sofas can make an artful statement in a room because of their visually interesting and daring designs! Plus, their modern aesthetic can adapt beautifully to a variety of interior styles, such as Scandinavian, mid-century modern, and contemporary to name a few.
Consider cheerful tones like yellows, oranges, and blues to radiate a lively feeling in your home. Conversely, neutral colors offer an understated look.
Sofas in animal print upholstery
From tiger stripes to cow spots to leopard markings, animal prints have become a decorating staple for those who want to walk on the wild side in their own home. Besides, they’re great for adding an unexpected twist to the setting!
Surprisingly, animal print sofas can grace homes of any style, be it traditional, modern, or anything in between!
Did you know that they mix well with other animal patterns too?
If you’d like to bring a sense of adventure to your space but still keep it harmonious, consider pairing two different animal prints of the same tone, such as cow patterns with zebra prints.
A vintage patterned couch
Fun shapes, flamboyant fabric, and elegantly detailed are just a few ways to describe vintage sofas!
What’s more, these types of print fabric sofas have an old-fashioned yet timeless charm to them, making them a lovely choice for interiors in need of a pop of pattern.
For a classic addition to your home decor, look no further than a fancy piece with rolled arms, a curved back, and patterns in subtle shades. On the other hand, square arms and vivid colors can give off a dash of contemporary flair while maintaining an old-school, retro aesthetic.
Plaid fabric sofas
Plaid definitely has a nostalgic feel to it, given that this pattern is mostly used in traditional sitting rooms. Fortunately, plaid is back in vogue and isn’t outdated at all when combined with the right accessories!
On top of that, plaid sofas aren’t only limited to red, blue, and green like the olden days.
Beige and brown plaid color palettes are perfect for creating a rustic look whereas blue and white patterns are the ultimate colors for coastal interiors. Alternatively, muted tones such as red, green, rusty orange, and light blue work wonders in casual country living rooms.

An eclectic sofa with various motifs
Sometimes, one pattern just isn’t enough to express your vivacious, carefree personality. Rather than playing it safe with one faint motif, why not spark drama with clashing prints in loud colors?
Having a mixture of patterns on your sofa will leave your guests speechless for its grandiosity and create an interesting contrast to the endless neutrals that are seen in most homes nowadays.
A bright, multicolored seating furniture
Another way you could brighten up an otherwise drab room is with a sofa with varying hues! Indeed, we’re talking about a color scheme with more than 4 colors!
These print fabric sofas are certainly an eye-catcher and provide a radiant focal point in the living area. Moreover, they help create an energizing atmosphere, which is especially needed in rooms where people get together!
They aren’t that hard to style since their multicolor upholstery offers numerous color options you can use in your decorating scheme.
Our advice Buying Guide
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.
