With over eight million tags on Instagram, #stripes are trending ahead of summer in both interiors and fashion alike. I for one have been enjoying wide stripe upholstery since summer 2021, when Buchanan Studio swept Instagram with the launch of the Studio Chair with its iconic thick vertical candy stripes. Originally, only the chair was available in three striped colorways - Ruby, Rose, and Indigo, but the collection has evolved to include an ottoman and a cozy sofa.
The look has spread from Buchanan, with many more accessible brands replicating the look with chunky stripes. It can be a risk to take such a big swing with an investment piece like a couch, but it's fair to say that stripes are a timeless enough pattern that these striped sofas will be adaptable for years to come.
