When it comes to choosing the perfect sofa, fabric matters just as much as shape and size. At PortaSofa, we offer two unique corduroy options across our collections: fine-striped (Slim Stripe) and wide-striped (Wide Stripe) corduroy. Both bring out the beauty of our modular sofas in different ways. So how do you choose?

1. Slim Stripe Corduroy: A Soft, Subtle Touch

Our Slim Stripe Edition features delicate, finely textured corduroy that adds a sense of refinement to your space. It has a soft, plush finish that feels smooth to the touch and visually lightens the sofa’s presence. Ideal for modern, minimalist, or Japandi-inspired homes, this fabric blends seamlessly into clean interiors without overwhelming them.

Best paired with:

  • Matcha: A refreshing, earthy green that brings calm and vibrancy.

  • Orange: Adds a subtle pop of colour while maintaining elegance.

2. Wide Stripe Corduroy: Bold, Textured Character

Our Wide Stripe Edition uses corduroy with pronounced ridges, giving the sofa a strong tactile feel and a visually dynamic presence. This material suits spaces that embrace character, depth, and bold choices—whether it's a retro-style living room or a vibrant, eclectic home.

Popular colours include:

  • Rust: A deep, warm hue that brings energy and personality to any room — ideal for making a bold yet sophisticated statement.

  • Chestnut: An earthy, grounding shade that complements neutral palettes and adds a sense of calm to natural-inspired spaces.

  • Forest Green:  Timeless and cozy, this versatile colour pairs beautifully with wooden accents, leather furniture, and a variety of interior styles.

     

3. How Fabric Texture Influences Feel and Style

Texture isn’t just a visual element—it affects how you feel in a space. Fine corduroy lends softness and simplicity, making your room feel open and calm. Wide corduroy, on the other hand, introduces contrast and dimension, making your sofa the focal point.

In smaller spaces, Slim Stripe can help keep things airy and uncluttered. In larger or moodier interiors, Wide Stripe brings grounding depth.

4. Choosing the Right Colour: Tips That Work

  • Use lighter shades like Orange or Matcha to brighten up compact areas.

  • Darker tones, such as Rust and Chestnut, work well in high-traffic spaces or rooms with lots of natural texture.
