When it comes to choosing a new sofa, style and shape are only half the story — the fabric is where the real magic happens. At OPA Living, we believe the feel of your sofa should match the look: luxurious, lived-in, and made to last. That’s why we hand-select only premium upholstery fabrics that bring together comfort, durability and modern style.

Ready to meet the stars of the show? Let’s take a closer look at the fabrics that make our sofas so irresistible.

1. Plush Velvets: Smooth, Sumptuous & Statement-Making

There’s something about velvet that just feels indulgent — soft to the touch and endlessly elegant. Our premium velvets offer that rich, luxe finish while still being practical for everyday life. Stain-resistant and easy to clean? Yes, really.

Best for: Bold interiors, cosy corners, and homes that love a bit of glamour.

2. Textured Weaves: Effortless Style Meets Everyday Strength

Our textured weave fabrics offer the perfect blend of looks and longevity. Think warm, woven textures that feel soft and inviting, yet are tough enough to handle busy family life (pets and snacks included). These fabrics come in a range of neutral tones and earthy shades, so they work beautifully across different home styles — from modern minimalist to laid-back boho.

Best for: Lived-in lounges, family homes, and versatile design lovers.

3. Bouclé: The On-Trend Fabric That Everyone’s Talking About

Hello, cosy-chic. Bouclé has become one of the most coveted fabrics in interiors — and we totally get why. It’s soft, looped texture is warm, stylish and full of personality. Our premium bouclé fabrics bring depth and dimension to any sofa shape, especially when paired with sculptural designs or curved arms.

Best for: Style-forward spaces, neutral lovers, and tactile design.

4. Soft Linens & Linen Blends: Light, Breezy, and Beautifully Relaxed

If your dream sofa look is more ‘airy and elegant’ than ‘plush and bold’, our linen and linen-blend fabrics are the perfect pick. They bring a natural softness and a breathable quality that’s perfect for summer styling — but with all the durability you’d want for daily lounging.

Best for: Relaxed interiors, coastal vibes, and understated style.

5. Performance Fabrics: Because Life Happens

For homes that need a little extra toughness, we offer high-performance fabric options across many of our ranges. These are designed to resist stains, wear and fading — without sacrificing style. Perfect if you love a light-coloured sofa but live with kids, pets or the occasional coffee spill.

Best for: High-traffic homes, busy lifestyles, and anyone who wants stress-free luxury.
