The Appeal of Corduroy Furniture
Furniture trends are constantly changing, but many buyers are surprised that corduroy furniture has come back in style. However, more homeowners are choosing corduroy pieces with each passing month, with the oversized corduroy sectional sofa ranking as one of the most popular options. So, why is corduroy so popular? Here are a few reasons why homeowners are seeking this unique sectional sofa option for their homes.
- Corduroy adds a retro look to your home: Corduroy became popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s in both fashion and furniture. If you want to add a vintage feel to your home, corduroy furnishing is a great option to consider. Among interior design styles, these pieces work perfectly in mid-century modern, farmhouse, and contemporary homes.
- It allows you to relax in plush comfort: Like velvet or even suede, corduroy is appealing because of its soft, plush texture, unlike other popular upholsteries like leather, polyester, or synthetic blends. The sectionals featured in this article invite you to lie across the cushions or put your feet up on the recliners.
- It adds visual warmth and coziness to a space. The natural texture and soft fabric of corduroy are ideal if you want to make a space feel inviting. It is perfect for furnishing dens and ready rooms where you want to curl up on cold nights or rainy days.
How It Compares
If you aren’t sure about buying a corduroy couch, know that there are different types of sectional sofas to choose from. These materials can create the impression of corduroy or tap into the current retro trends without requiring you to invest the traditional ribbed designs. Here are a few alternative options to consider for your home (CLICK THE ➕TO LEARN MORE).
➕Corduroy vs. Velvet
Consider velvet if you prefer a smoother appearance in your furniture instead of the ribbed look of corduroy. Just keep in mind, velvet can be difficult to maintain, which means it's not ideal for high-traffic seating or homes with pets. IOn top of that, velvet is also more expensive than corduroy.
➕Corduroy vs. Suede
Suede is a form of leather and is made from animal hide (except for faux suede, which is a synthetic blend). Like velvet, suede is less durable and more expensive than corduroy. However, suede can make a room feel luxurious and be an ideal fabric for statement pieces. Compared to corduroy, suede is the more durable upholstery, albeit more expensive, but if durability is your priority, we recommend splurging.
➕Corduroy vs. Bouclé
Bouclé is a form of textured upholstery that can be made from wool, silk, or cotton. Unlike corduroy, boucle consists of tufts reminiscent of sheep wool. While it’s one of the coziest furniture upholsteries, boucle is also one of the finickier options and requires a good amount of maintenance. Whereas corduroy furniture is suitable in low to medium traffic zones, boucle is best as occasional furniture.
Caring for a Corduroy Sectional Sofa
While a corduroy sectional sofa is a high-quality, durable choice for your home, it still requires care and maintenance. You can keep your upholstered sectional sofa looking new by developing regular cleaning habits. Keeping your new sectional sofa looking its best can prevent you from having to invest in expensive deep cleaning treatments or wearing out your furniture prematurely. A little goes a long way. Here are a few maintenance steps to keep in mind.
Corduroy Care
Corduroy is a delicate material, so you don’t want to be aggressive when cleaning it. A soft vacuum brush can suck up crumbs and dirt while preserving your sectional sofa.
Try to avoid cutting across the ridges when you are vacuuming. Instead, work with the lines in a similar way you would clean wood with the grain.
Instead of waiting for a corduroy sofa to get dirty to clean it, develop a vacuuming habit. It is easier and faster to lightly clean your furniture often instead of setting aside a longer period for a deep clean.
Keep sprays and other products that are designed to repel dirt on hand to keep stains and dirt from becoming ingrained within corduroy.
Extensive exposure to sunlight can damage corduroy, making it look unevenly worn. Draw curtains during peak sunlight hours and limit sunlight explore when possible.
