Every so often, a fabric comes along that defines a design era. In the 70s it was corduroy, in the 90s it was suede, and now it’s bouclé. Known for its looped texture and cosy feel, bouclé has made its way from high-end designer sofas into everyday homes. And in 2025, it’s no longer just for living rooms, bouclé beds are the new statement piece for the bedroom.
At Funkybedz, we handcraft upholstered beds using premium fabrics, and bouclé has quickly become one of our customers’ favourite choices. Let’s explore why this fabric has become so desirable, how it transforms a bedroom, and which Funkybedz designs it works best with.
1. What Exactly Is Bouclé?
Bouclé (pronounced “boo-clay”) is a fabric woven with looped yarns, giving it a soft, curly texture. Originally made popular by fashion designers like Coco Chanel, bouclé has now become a staple in interior design.
Its appeal lies in its unique texture, tactile, cosy, and visually interesting, which instantly adds depth to any space. Unlike flat fabrics, bouclé creates a soft, inviting surface that feels luxurious yet understated.

2. Why Bouclé Is Trending in Bedrooms
So why is everyone suddenly falling in love with bouclé? Here are a few reasons:
Texture adds warmth → Perfect for creating a cocooning bedroom retreat.
Neutral palettes → Bouclé often comes in soft creams, beiges, and greys that fit effortlessly with modern décor.
Timeless elegance → It feels high-end without being over-the-top.
Versatility → Works with both minimalist and luxury interiors.
In a world where bedrooms are becoming more than just sleeping spaces - they’re wellness retreats and design statements - bouclé is the fabric that balances comfort with style.
3. The Cosy Factor
One of the main reasons bouclé has exploded in popularity is its cosy, tactile feel. Bedrooms are all about comfort, and a bouclé bed headboard or frame instantly makes the room feel softer and more inviting.
Think of it as wrapping your bed in a chic yet snug blanket - a visual and physical comfort that sets the tone for the entire room.

Bouclé is a statement in itself, but it also complements other trends:
Scandi minimalism → Bouclé adds warmth to otherwise pared-back rooms.
Modern luxury → Works beautifully with brass accents, velvet cushions, or marble furniture.
Organic interiors → Pairs naturally with wood, linen, and earthy tones.
By choosing a bouclé upholstered bed, you’re not just buying furniture - you’re anchoring your entire room’s design direction.
