Tips for Styling a Bouclé Bed
Choose a Calming Colour Scheme
Bouclé works well with gentle neutrals such as ivory and light grey. For depth, add muted earth tones like sage, clay or sand.
Blend in Different Textures
Layer bouclé with linen, wool or velvet, plus quilts and cushions, to add interest and enhance cosiness.
Opt for Curved, Soft-Edged Furniture
Rounded bedside units, an arched bedhead or softly shaped lighting pair naturally with bouclé’s plush look.
Set the Mood with Warm Lighting
Use dimmable lights or warm bulbs with natural material shades (rattan, wood, aged metal) to complement the fabric’s texture.
To style a bouclé bed: use neutral shades, mix natural textures, choose curved furniture, and opt for warm lighting.
