Cher and Sonny Bono's 1960s Striped Sofa Is a Lesson in Retro Sophistication – Proving the Power of Versatile Texture in 2027

Cher and Sonny Bono.

It’s hard to find a space that wouldn’t benefit from a touch of stripe, and it seems this has been the case for more than 60 years. Enter – Sonny Bono and Cher, who were using it in their Encino, California, home in 1966. Specifically, they introduced a striped sofa into their living room, and it remains a testament to this pattern's staying power.

The couple's space is a blueprint for decorating with stripes in an utterly timeless way. They give the sofa definition without making it feel formal or fussy. When leaning into midcentury modern aesthetics and retro styles, their sofa is an eternally beautiful option.
