Designer Tips for Styling Loose Cover Sofas

May 29, 2026

Loose cover sofas bring a softer, more relaxed feel to a room. Comfortable, practical, and easy to live with, they work particularly well in spaces that feel warm and layered rather than overly formal. ​ Our Hannah Loose Cover range is upholstered in Antwerp fabric, chosen for its relaxed texture and suitability for everyday living. A few small styling details can help keep the look feeling polished while still relaxed.

Smooth the Fabric Naturally

Rather than pulling the cover too tightly, smooth the fabric gently into place. Loose covers should feel relaxed and comfortable, not overly structured.

 

Straighten The Seams

Taking a moment to align the seat and arm seams makes a big difference to the overall look of the sofa and helps it feel more considered.

 

Layer Different Textures

Loose cover sofas pair beautifully with woven cushions, soft throws, and natural materials. Mixing textures gives the room warmth and personality without feeling overdone

Tuck Excess Fabric Inwards​

Tucking loose fabric neatly into the frame helps the cover sit properly and keeps the shape looking clean throughout daily use. ​ ​

 

Keep the Styling Relaxed​

Loose cover sofas suit softer interiors with gentle layering and quieter colour palettes. The aim is a room that feels inviting and comfortable rather than too styled.

Made for Everyday Living

Part of the appeal of a loose cover sofa is that it’s designed to be lived in. Over time, the fabric settles naturally into the shape of the sofa, giving it even more comfort and character.
