Statement seating: The power of pattern and form

Transform your seating into the focal point of any space with bold fabrics and striking forms. When paired with neutral tones, bold patterns can bring energy and depth to a room, while maintaining harmony. The key to mastering this look is balance; combine vibrant and patterned fabrics with soft neutrals to make a statement without overwhelming the space.

Bold patterns for impact

Nothing draws the eye quite like a confident print; and seating is the perfect place to play. From painterly watercolours to graphic geometrics and animal-inspired designs, patterned upholstery brings character to your space with minimal effort. Whether it’s an accent chair or a full-sized sofa, the right fabric can turn functional furniture into a striking centrepiece.

A great example is the Anna D'Andrea wallpaper collection by AS Création. Known for its expressive motifs and vibrant colour stories, the range pairs beautifully with statement seating. Imagine a velvet occasional chair in a bold floral or abstract print, set against a complementary Anna D'Andrea backdrop; the result is layered, artful and full of personality. It’s a design-forward way to add visual energy without overcrowding the room.

Tip: Let your print take centre stage. Anchor the look with neutral tones and simple silhouettes to keep the overall aesthetic balanced and modern.

Curves that capture attention

Seating shapes are just as important as the fabrics that cover them. Unique curves and distinctive silhouettes bring a sense of dynamism to any room, breaking the monotony of straight lines and angular furniture. From curved armchairs to rounded sofas, these pieces add personality and style while maintaining a soft, inviting atmosphere.

The Park Avenue collection by JAB Anstoetz blends beautifully with curvaceous seating. Its sophisticated patterns and luxurious textures elevate rounded chairs and soft-edged sofas, creating a chic yet inviting focal point in any space. With a rich palette of colours and bold geometric motifs, these fabrics bring life and movement to the furniture, making a striking statement while maintaining a sense of elegance.

Tip: Pair curved seating with a sleek, angular coffee table or minimalist decor to create an engaging contrast that draws the eye.
