16Aug 25 Choosing a new sofa is more than just picking a style or colour — the fabric you choose makes all the difference to your comfort, maintenance and long-term satisfaction.
At Miss City Style, our modular, compressed foldable sofas come in a variety of fabrics to match your taste and lifestyle.
So how do you pick the right one? Let’s break it down.
✨ Velvet: Soft, Luxurious & Timeless
Best for: Those who love a plush, elegant feel.
Pros:
- Soft, smooth texture that feels luxurious.
- Adds a subtle sheen to your space.
- Perfect for cosy corners, bedrooms or statement living areas.
Things to consider:
- Velvet can attract dust or pet hair, so regular vacuuming is key.
- Best suited for lower-traffic areas if you want it to stay pristine.
Style tip: Pair with metallic or marble décor to create a chic, contemporary look.
✨ Cotton Linen: Light, Breathable & Natural
Best for: A casual, laid-back vibe that feels fresh year-round.
Pros:
- Breathable and cool to touch — great for Australia’s warmer months.
- Natural look that works beautifully with Scandinavian or coastal styles.
- Easy to style with soft cushions and throws.
Things to consider:
- Slightly more prone to wrinkles — but that’s part of its relaxed charm!
- Treat any stains promptly to keep it looking fresh.
Style tip: Pair with plants, timber furniture and neutral tones for an airy, inviting feel.
✨ Corduroy: Warm, Cosy & Retro-Cool
Best for: Families and renters who want extra durability with soft comfort.
Pros:
- Soft ribbed texture feels warm and inviting.
- Hides minor wear and tear better than smoother fabrics.
- Works well in family rooms and rentals with kids or pets.
Things to consider:
- Use a lint roller to remove fluff if needed.
- Great for winter — but still breathable enough for year-round use.
Style tip: Combine corduroy with bold colours or patterned cushions for a playful retro vibe.
✨ How to Choose?
Here are a few quick questions to help you decide:
- Do you have pets or young kids? Corduroy and cotton linen tend to be more forgiving.
- Do you love a luxe feel? Velvet is perfect for adding instant elegance.
- Is low-maintenance care important? Cotton linen’s relaxed look makes upkeep easier.
