As the focal point in any living room, your choice of sofa will make a big impact to the overall look of your space. It's also one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home, so choosing a good quality sofa (that also ticks all the style boxes) that you can cherish for many years to come is important.

Using analysis from Google Trends and data from Semrush, these are the most popular sofas for 2023 that will no doubt be at the forefront of interiors throughout the new year.

The top 5 trending sofa styles for 2023:

Bouclé sofa
English roll arm sofa
Togo sofa
Chesterfield sofa
Small double sofa bed.

Once you're done browsing these sofa styles, take a look at the most popular sofa colours to see what's trending for 2023.

Taking the top spot thanks to its meteoric rise on Google is the bouclé sofa – and this popularity shows no signs of slowing down in 2023 with a 180 per cent increase in the last 12 months. Embrace natural and neutral materials with this super cosy seating option. The nubby material provides a good balance of warmth, cosiness and texture, perfect for a living room.

The English roll arm sofa is characterised by a low back and rolled arms, and this homely design can add a countrycore touch to any space or home. 'The style was popularised in the 19th century and is clearly making a comeback as cosy aesthetics re-enter the mainstream,' says Lucy Ward, Brand Director of Vinterior.

Thanks to its distinctive toothpaste-inspired shape, the Togo sofa has remained a cult classic, with the 60s sofa design enjoying a resurgence on Instagram. Google search queries have increased by 60 per cent in the past year. Visually striking and with a slouchy look, this sofa style looks equally as impressive in darker hues, warm neutrals or bold brights.

Any surprises here? The classic chesterfield sofa – popularised in the mid 19th century and regarded as a status symbol of class and luxury – tops the list for the most popular sofa style. A firm favourite, we love this contemporary twist on a timeless design with a low buttoned back and turned legs.

We know how much space is at a premium, so it perhaps isn't surprising that small double sofa beds are on the rise. Google searches have increased by 50 per cent in the last year. Sofa beds offer a handy two-in-one solution – you can relax and entertain in your lounge but also accommodate guests as and when is needed.
