Cloud couches are a popular type of sofa for living spaces due to their plush designs and deep, comfortable cushions. Their plump, goose-down stuffing and varying sizes may call to mind maximalist sensibilities but they can also be good options for minimalist design. Here are the six best cloud couches for comfortable minimalist living rooms.
The Capri Sofa
The term cloud couch refers to any sofa with sufficiently comfortable seats, including low armrests, well-filled cushions and deep seats. The style, size and number of seats aren’t factors, which means you can buy cloud couches in all shapes and sizes. The Capri Sofa is a bench-style couch with a corner-blocked frame and durable upholstery in neutral colors. Its cushions have an extra layer of down for increased softness.
The Marcel Sectional
If you want to maximize seating in your living room without sacrificing your minimalist design, you might want to choose a sectional sofa, such as the Marcel Sectional. This sectional has a bench and a lounge. Sectional sofas are made of at least two sections that can be configured in various ways. This allows you to rearrange the sofa to enhance your living room’s layout. There are two Marcel Sectional styles: right-facing and left-facing.
The Malaga Sectional
Another sectional option for minimalist living rooms is the Malaga Sectional. Like the Marcel Sectional, this sofa has a lounge and comes in a right-facing and left-facing style. However, it has two seat cushions instead of a bench-style seat. The Malaga Sectional sits low to the ground and has deep seats. It also features wide, well-cushioned armrests.
The Dema 90″ Fabric Sofa
To make sure a soft fits comfortably into a minimalist living room, look for smaller options in neutral colors. The Dema 90″ Fabric Sofa is a good choice for a smaller couch. Its sleek, rounded design features a corner-blocked wooden frame and a bench-style seat, maximizing available seating. The cushions are filled with a layer of feathers over a high-resiliency foam core, ensuring maximum comfort and support. Its upholstery is stain-resistant and spill-resistant, which is helpful for neutral fabrics.
The Rhodes 92″ Sofa
The Rhodes 92″ Sofa is a good choice for people interested in comfortable seating that is also sleek and stylish. With its low back and thin armrests, it creates the illusion of being smaller than it actually is, without compromising comfort or seating space. Its low-to-the-ground design minimizes negative space beneath it.
The Kano 97″ Sofa
The Kano 97″ Sofa has a modern silhouette with low, wide armrests, deep seats and high back cushions. Its smooth, blocky design helps it fit seamlessly into many different types of living room designs, but it is particularly well-suited to minimalist and mid-century modern living rooms.
Minimalist design doesn’t mean you need to avoid plush furniture. Options like cloud couches can fit into minimalist aesthetics quite well, depending on the size of the furniture, the size of your space and your preferred color palate.
