Decorate this winter season with warm textures and soft upholstery.

When it comes to decorating this winter season, upholstery and textures are essential. Not only do they add a touch of elegance and style to your spaces, but they also serve a practical function by providing warmth and comfort. On cold winter days, there’s nothing better than wrapping up in a soft blanket or lounging on a plush sofa.

Textures also play a crucial role in creating a cozy feel. From soft wools to rich, lush fabrics, textures can completely transform the atmosphere of a room. By combining upholstery and textures effectively, you can achieve a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality in this season’s décor.

For several years, boucle wool has become a very popular textile in the decoration of the autumn-winter season. In addition, the maximalism of the shapes of chairs and sofas, a trend increasingly on the rise, the so-called Bold style, make this textile protagonist, creating very authentic pieces. But they are not the only ones, we tell you which upholstery will be the most popular in terms of seasonal decoration:

• Velvet is a luxurious and soft material that provides a feeling of warmth and comfort. Opt for sofas, chairs or cushions upholstered in velvet in colors like navy blue, burgundy or green to create a sophisticated and cozy atmosphere.
  In this line, we have the INSIDE chair in green, a model upholstered in velvet, with needle legs and a Mid Century style design.

In addition, there are other similar textiles, for their softness, with less thickness but with a pleasant soft texture and with a wide variety of colors. In this line we have the LIONEL chair, a very slender model, with tubular steel structure, and finished in gold metal bath.

• Leather, both real and faux, is an excellent choice for adding texture and elegance to your home. You can use it on all types of seating to create a fashionable, wintry look. Remember that faux fur is an ethical choice compared to real fur.

You can opt for chairs with wooden structure and leather seat, of great aesthetics and beauty, are currently one of the must have in the decoration of this season. In this line we present a couple of models with great personality and elegance. The BLUSH model and the black BORMY, both chairs with wooden structure and upholstered in synthetic leather.

• Geometric Prints: Geometric prints, especially in dark colors and contrasts, are ideal for the winter season. You can use them in curtains, cushions or chair upholstery to give a contemporary touch to your space. Our plaid MARLENE chair is perfect for this season’s decorating trend. With a light colored wood frame and a plaid pattern, perfect for a Scandinavian style space.

• Thick fabrics: As we mentioned, boucle wool is still a trend, it is a great option for this season’s decoration, although there are other thick fabrics, such as cotton, or textiles that simulate knitted fabrics. Our ALUDA armchair is an example of this type of visually fluffier fabrics.

Other trends in this season’s décor

Not only upholstery and textiles are the ones that mark the decorative counterpoint to differentiate a winter season from a summer one. There are other aesthetic points, which we can put into practice that will be the protagonists of the decoration of the winter season 2023. We summarize them for you:

• Wall coverings: coatings such as microcement or lime mortar in neutral tones give a feeling of warmth and comfort, as well as a very organic style.
• Hand-woven wool: hand-woven wool blankets and cushions are not only functional but also add a sense of craftsmanship and tradition to your space. In Spain there is a brand, Ana y Francís, who hand weave their products, and they are a delight.

• Natural wood: Natural wood brings warmth and a rustic touch to any space. Opt for furniture with wood finishes in warm tones to evoke the feeling of a mountain cabin.
• Stone and tile: For cooler spaces, such as bathrooms and kitchens, natural stone cladding or clay tiles can bring a rustic and comfortable feel. Even in the form of mosaics, they can evoke a wintry atmosphere.
• Natural textiles: This trend that arrived with force more than a year ago is still booming and will continue to do so because the simplicity of its designs, the visual relaxation of the fall of the textiles and the natural color, make them timeless. The cushions of the Alhambra brand are in this natural line, with prints or plain, and in light or more striking tones. Take a look at them.
