As Nadia Watts of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/nadiawatts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nadia Watts Interior Design<\/a>&nbsp;explains, the term \u201cboucl\u00e9\u201d comes from the French word \u201cboucler,\u201d which means, \u201cto curl.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoucl\u00e9 is a textured fabric created through a special weaving process which creates loops or curls in the fabric,&#8221; explains Watts, who has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravet.com\/nadia-watts-gem-collection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">her own line of boucl\u00e9 fabrics<\/a>. &#8220;Boucl\u00e9 can be made of wool, cotton, synthetic blends, or a combination of materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBoucl\u00e9 is a textured fabric created through a special weaving process which creates loops or curls in the fabric. Boucl\u00e9 can be made of wool, cotton, synthetic blends, or a combination of materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Nadia Watts, interior designer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why boucl\u00e9 is trending<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Watts believes boucl\u00e9 brings comfort and coziness without being overbearing and bulky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople want to feel comforted in their homes, and boucl\u00e9 is the perfect material to create that sense of snug,&#8221; she says. &#8220;Boucl\u00e9 is very versatile\u2014it feels at home in both modern and historical settings.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, it works well in tonal and neutral color schemes, says Watts. &#8220;It offers texture and depth to an otherwise analogous scheme,\u201d she adds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of boucl\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoucl\u00e9 is soft, warm, and durable without being bulky,\u201d Watts emphasizes. \u201cIt has a timeless aesthetic and adds a touch of elegance.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a practical choice, notes Watts. &#8220;Boucl\u00e9 is durable and long-lasting, so you get the sophistication as well as the practicality,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drawbacks of boucl\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although boucl\u00e9 certainly sounds like a dreamy fabric, there are some negative aspects to consider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, Watts says the resulting weave of boucl\u00e9 can be weighty, so it\u2019s not the best choice for drapery or dainty upholstery. \u201cIf you are looking for a light, flowy fabric, boucl\u00e9 is not your match,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She adds that the nubbiness of boucl\u00e9 can be challenging with pets, especially ones who might scratch. \u201cThe loops and texture of boucl\u00e9 make for an easy target for cat and dog claws alike,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of boucl\u00e9 furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several boucl\u00e9 fabric furniture options you can consider for your bedroom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Headboard and bed:&nbsp;<\/strong>Because boucl\u00e9 is naturally cozy, it\u2019s ideal for the bedroom and specifically for the bed. \u201cBoucl\u00e9 is also the perfect complement to your clean, crisp bedding, bringing a hint of texture and depth to your sleeping sanctuary,\u201d says Watts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chair:&nbsp;<\/strong>Who doesn&#8217;t like a cozy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/should-you-have-a-chair-in-your-bedroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chair<\/a>?<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cBoucl\u00e9 is the perfect fabric to create that sense of calm, drawing you in and enveloping you in the perfect nubbiness with its rich texture and soft hand,\u201d says Watts. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bench:<\/strong>&nbsp;A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/bedroom-bench\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bench<\/a>&nbsp;is a functional way to add more seating to your bedroom and balance out the sleeping area, notes Watts. \u201cIt\u2019s also a great opportunity to bring in texture and a pop of color,\u201d she says. \u201cBenches, with their clean lines and simplicity, are the perfect furniture item to house boucl\u00e9.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pillows:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/types-of-pillows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pillows<\/a>&nbsp;are a quick way to bring in boucl\u00e9 without having to redesign your entire bedroom, says Watts. \u201cAdding pops of colorful boucl\u00e9 allows you to bring in warmth through both color and texture,\u201d she says. \u201cConsider adding boucl\u00e9 into your bedding scheme, especially if you have introduced boucl\u00e9 elsewhere, like through the corner chair or bench.&#8221; Bringing in another layer of boucl\u00e9 adds cohesion and makes everything look purposeful, says Watts.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"saatva-product-slider bg-fuscous-gray text-white\">\n            <p class=\"bg-makara p-4 text-center\">The best boucl\u00e9 furniture for your bedroom<\/p>\n    \n            <div\n            class=\"focus:!outline-0\"\n            data-flickity=\"{&quot;wrapAround&quot;:true,&quot;pageDots&quot;:true,&quot;adaptiveHeight&quot;:true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;:false,&quot;autoPlay&quot;:5000}\"\n        >\n                            \n                <div>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/merano\" class=\"block\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/merano-bed-frame-1200x604.jpg\" class=\"w-full aspect-video object-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"saatva merano bed frame\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/merano-bed-frame-1200x604.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/merano-bed-frame-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/merano-bed-frame-768x387.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/merano-bed-frame-1536x774.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/merano-bed-frame.jpg 1918w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n                    <\/a>\n\n                    <div\n                        class=\"rich-text-level p-8 lg:text-base\"\n                        style=\"--spacing-rhythm: 0.75em\"\n                    >\n                        <h4>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/merano\">Merano Bed Frame<\/a>\n                        <\/h4>\n\n                        \n<p>Inspired by the charming and cozy Italian town where it takes its name, the Merano bed frame reimagines the sleigh bed silhouette with its gently angled headboard and footboard.<\/p>\n\n\n                        <p>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/merano\" class=\"btn\">\n                                Shop Now\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            \n                <div>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/crete\" class=\"block\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/crete-platform-bed-1200x604.jpg\" class=\"w-full aspect-video object-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"saatva crete bed frame\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/crete-platform-bed-1200x604.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/crete-platform-bed-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/crete-platform-bed-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/crete-platform-bed-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/crete-platform-bed.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n                    <\/a>\n\n                    <div\n                        class=\"rich-text-level p-8 lg:text-base\"\n                        style=\"--spacing-rhythm: 0.75em\"\n                    >\n                        <h4>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/crete\">Crete Bed Frame<\/a>\n                        <\/h4>\n\n                        \n<p>As eye-catching as the Greek isle it\u2019s named after, the Crete bed frame boasts an iconic, oversized silhouette that stands out from the ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n                        <p>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/crete\" class=\"btn\">\n                                Shop Now\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to incorporate boucl\u00e9 furniture for your bedroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrate color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although boucl\u00e9 often appears in shades of white and cream, you can also opt for colorful boucl\u00e9 fabric to provide bold accents in your bedroom. For example, Watts turns to the vibrant boucl\u00e9 fabrics in her own collection to represent color and texture in a bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe richly hued colors including citrine, navy blue, and deep teal offer the perfect glimpse of glam,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Punch up your bedding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bedding can be fairly straightforward, but boucl\u00e9 is a way to weave color and texture into your sleeping area. Whether you go with a bright color or a shade of white, Watts says bedding, sheets, duvets, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/what-is-a-coverlet\/\">coverlets <\/a>can benefit from the \u201cexcitement\u201d boucl\u00e9 can add to \u201can otherwise neutral scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Punctuate any furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For any furniture that isn\u2019t covered in boucl\u00e9 fabric, consider a boucl\u00e9 throw pillow. Even a hint of boucl\u00e9 on the seat of a small chair or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/how-to-use-ottoman-in-bedroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ottoman<\/a> can have a huge impact, says Watts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to care for boucl\u00e9 furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, is boucl\u00e9 furniture easy to clean? The answer is yes. Watts says one of the many beauties of boucl\u00e9 is that it can be brushed. \u201cYou can revive and refresh the texture of boucl\u00e9 by gently brushing in the direction of the loops,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;This will also help remove trapped dust and debris.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since boucl\u00e9 can be made with a variety of materials, Watts says it\u2019s important to read the care instructions. \u201cDepending on what materials your boucl\u00e9 is made from, you can steam clean, dry clean, spot clean, or brush clean your boucl\u00e9,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is boucl\u00e9 furniture?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by a French word meaning \u201cto curl,\u201d &nbsp;boucl\u00e9 furniture features a fabric that is highly textured and \u201cnubby,\u201d which can bring visual interest to any sleeping space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is boucl\u00e9 fabric good for furniture?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. \u201cBoucl\u00e9 is versatile and offers a weightiness without the bulk,&#8221; says Watts. &#8220;It\u2019s cozy without being heavy, making it the perfect fabric for upholstery.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watts adds that boucl\u00e9 offers texture and depth as well as softness, so it\u2019s comfortable and pleasing to the eye. &#8220;And its rich history and sense of elegance offer an elevated look that feels luxurious yet casual,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the disadvantages of boucl\u00e9?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boucl\u00e9 fabric has two big drawbacks. First of all, since its resulting weave can be rather weighty, it isn\u2019t the best fabric choice for window treatments. And secondly, all that texture can be tempting to your pets\u2019 claws, so it may endure wear if you have a cat or dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is boucl\u00e9 high-end?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The use of boucl\u00e9 in luxury interior design is a long-standing staple,&#8221; says Watts. &#8220;Its visual interest and dimension make it stand out and feel luxurious and opulent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find the best boucl\u00e9 furniture for the bedroom at Saatva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve piqued your interest in boucl\u00e9 furniture, feel free to check out our bed frames rendered in boucl\u00e9 fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <span data-id=\"32724\" data-title=\"Merano\" data-text=\"Merano\" class=\"tooltip\">Merano<\/span> bed frame is a modern take on the sleigh bed, with a gently&nbsp;angled headboard and footboard.
