Bouclé is the textural trend that has taken living rooms by storm, bringing a soft and cozy element to architecturally stark or linear spaces, but have we had too much of a good thing? Since seeing this image of Jessica Alba's chic and inviting living room, I can safely say I'm still hooked on bouclé. Her pair of cream accent chairs is the soft and tactile addition needed to lighten and elevate her otherwise rustic scheme, and I want to sink right in.
While the boucle trend might have started in the early 2020s, this soft and slubby fabric, particularly in chic shades of ivory and cream, has been popping up in interiors ever since, testament to its longevity. But why has it proved so popular?
