Choosing a new sofa is not always easy: but at 4x6 SOFA we have made it our mission to make buying a sofa fun and easy. With 6 models and 24 colours and fixed prices, this should be possible. But this certainly does not mean that your sofa will be boring or ordinary! We have recently completely renewed our colour chart. There are again 24 fabrics with beautiful colours and fine materials that you can choose from. So read the blog carefully, and quickly view our trend colours and materials. 

Living trends: what are we seeing in interiors now?

The trends of 2023 are inspired by developments in the world. A sense of security, comfort and safety are clearly visible in the new colours and materials. There is a need for a new safe start after the pandemic. But we do not play it too safe: we look for clear contrasts in colour, material and shape, and seek excitement in details and accessories.

In the basics, we do not use striking colours, but we remain calm, relaxed and comfortable. Soft, round, friendly and modest are words that describe the interior at the moment. A good base is always a natural shade, combined with accent colours such as salmon pink or terra. But we are going to add real colour accents to the interior: so we are not afraid of a loveseat, ottoman or cushion in striking colours such as red or green . We dare a little more now that life is back on track! 

Cuddly and organic: Teddy

Shapes and materials with a natural look and fine tactility, which you can feel, are all the rage. Round shapes with a high cuddliness factor are seen a lot. We need soft and natural materials so that we feel safe. We see more depth and life in the fabrics. We are also going to combine materials within a piece of furniture or furniture arrangement: fabric in combination with papercord, rib in contrast with bouclé fabric . The soft shapes and materials will remain for a while, and from now on we will also combine them more with somewhat harder graphic lines and pronounced colours in accessories. So we are looking for contrast in the choice of material, colour and shape.

A multifunctional interior

We also increasingly need a multifunctional home: working, relaxing, socializing: our interior has more and more functions. In order to be able to retreat, we are going to divide our home with, for example, room dividers and flexible items. A modular sofa , or module sofa and element sofa play a major role in this. This is called 'smart' furniture, in no time you can create a TV corner, a work corner or a relaxation corner. 

The latest trend colours

The living trend for 2022 is a seating island of the modular sofa with round seating elements

Colors that we see a lot this fall and are expected to see in 2023 are Red and Orange. These are earth tones and create atmosphere and warmth in your interior. The warm palette provides safety and security. Brown is back in your interior and green tones are still subtly coming back.  Natural shades are very visible. These colours are subdued, warm and easy to combine with accent colours. The trend colours and fabrics that have been popular for a while and are still not decreasing in popularity are velvet, grey shades, blue and ochre. The latter are somewhat less striking and more subdued. 

24 color samples at 4x6 SOFA

4x6 SOFA works with a colour chart consisting of shades such as beige, white and natural. Blue shades are also always recurring in the colour chart. In addition, we choose a few more pronounced trend colours and materials. This together forms the beautiful mix of 24 colours and is completely on trend! Whichever colour you choose, the price remains the same.

The theme we are focusing on this fall is Simplicity in Beauty. A beautiful inspiring color range with green, natural and warm red and orange and pink tones. The materials are rich and inspiring. The shapes are sculptural and natural and the texture invites you to touch it. 

With the right accents you can create that contrasting interior.
