Statement Sofas: The Ultimate Centrepiece for AW25 and Beyond

As the seasons change, homeowners are looking for swift ways to revive their living spaces. How? With a statement sofa, according to Juliettes Interiors.

With their striking silhouettes, irresistible fabrics and attractive colours, a statement sofa immediately reinvents a room, and is a popular choice with luxury homeowners looking to switch things up in line with the seasons.

“A statement sofa unashamedly calls out for attention," says Juliette Thomas, Founder and Creative Director of Juliettes Interiors. "It refuses to be ignored - and usually for good reason!"

Luxury furniture is becoming more expressive and individual than ever, with Autumn/Winter 2025-26 trends highlighting bold silhouettes, rich textures, and mood-enhancing colour as key design directions. Statement sofas are central to this shift, anchoring a space with confidence, character, and a sense of personality.

Whether vivid in size, shape, colour, texture – or all of the above – the more unique your statement sofa, the better, according to the brand. 

Size

If the goal is to make a statement, the sofa must be the focal point of the space. Oversized options, positioned in the heart of the living room, are hugely popular with her clients right now. 

“Large spaces are begging for a huge, dramatic sofa,” says Juliette.

From modular seating, where you can mix up the shape and positioning, to corner sofas, which maximise space without compromising on drama, when it comes to substantial seating, there are plenty of options. 

Shape

Unique and interesting silhouettes are the perfect way to make a statement, with curves being a standout trend right now, according to Jullietes Interiors. 

The organic, soft shape of the curve creates a sense of flow and calm, whilst remaining outstanding enough to capture the eye. Curved sofas vary in style, from a more sophisticated aesthetic to the ‘croissant curve’, with its elegant sweep and low back.

Colour

A colourful couch is an easy way to make a statement. As autumn descends, the brand is seeing increasing demand for warm, seasonal shades, like greens, mustard, terracotta and chocolate.

Jewel tones - like royal blue, deep purple and ruby red - also remain popular in high-end homes all year round, thanks to their dramatic, regal feel.

Texture

Choosing a ‘feel-me’ fabric is a surefire way to inject depth and dimension. Bouclé is still a sought-after choice in luxury furnishings, whilst others can’t resist the allure of velvet, which also pairs well with standout colours.

Wondering how to get the best from your statement sofa?

“Your design needs to centre around your seating,” advises Juliette. "Simple decor, light interiors and minimal accessories will allow your statement sofa to pop."
