A good sofa can form the focal point of a living room. In fact, a much-loved piece of furniture like a sofa is often the starting point for a new decor scheme. So if you\u2019re considering a refresh for the summer season, start by looking at the latest sofa collections. Whether you want something super cosy, super stylish, in the latest colourway, or all three, take a look at Good Homes’ pick of the best summer sofa trends for 2023\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Sustainable sofas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sustainability is more than a trend \u2013 it has become a key factor in<\/span> how we look at buying and furnishing our homes. George Clarke has collaborated with Sofology to release the sustainable Gaia sofa.<\/a> Using Full Circle technology (which has a patent pending), \u2018the sofa is completely staple free, allowing each element to be quickly unclipped, unbolted and unscrewed with ease to completely dismantle the sofa,\u2019 says a spokesperson for Sofology. ‘The result is a sofa where each individual part can be more easily recycled or repurposed at the end of its life.’ Prices start from \u00a31,199.<\/p>\n

2. Wellness blue<\/h2>\n

While earthy tones, deep greens and getting back to nature have been a big interiors trend for 2022 and are still going strong, in 2023, it’s the vast range of blues, dubbed wellness blues, that are dominating the colour charts. Essentially, it’s a feel good colour for well-being, reminiscent of all the shades of the ocean and cloudless skies. You can choose this gorgeous Loaf Bumpster sofa<\/a> in any blue hue from Beach Ball Blue to Puddle Blue to Pond Skimmer in fabrics like vintage linen or velvet. Prices from \u00a31,445.<\/p>\n

5. Breezy boho sofas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

6.Nature-inspired<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Biophilia<\/a> reigns supreme in 2023 and that\u2019s reflected in our sofa choices. \u2018This summer, our love of botanicals evolves from biophilic patterns to a more luxurious interpretation of natural beauty, drawn from a palette of forest greens and earthy neutrals, enriched with glints of gold,\u2019 says a spokesperson for DFS. ‘The unexpected mix of materials and forms is key to creating this sleek modern look that is rooted in nature. Warm wood and woven natural fibres sit alongside boucle, the textile of the moment, while key design pieces acquire back-to-the-future curves with echoes of a more organic world.’ The Izzie four-seater sofa in forest green, pictured below, is available from 23 March 2023. Prices from \u00a3999.<\/p>\n
