From bold, modern silhouettes to luxurious, custom-made designs, take a look at some of the most well-placed seating options.
The classic sofa that once came to mind — rectangular, practical, and boxy — is gradually disappearing from modern interiors. In recent years, the design world has embraced fresh, imaginative approaches to seating, drawing inspiration from diverse styles and textures from around the globe. In essence, 2025 sofa trends are defined by minimalism, clean hues, and uncompromised comfort. Selecting a luxury sofa has become key to elevating the entire living room, creating a space that feels both inviting and sophisticated.
From the attention to the choice of models and materials, trends, to uniformity with the design style of the house, to the selection of brands and the evaluation about prices: let’s take a look at luxury sofas from industry experts. Explaining about the current design trends for sofa sets, Anurag Kanoria, Director, The Great Eastern Home says, “In today’s design landscape, there is a strong shift towards sofas that merge timeless elegance with functional comfort. At the Great Eastern Home, we see growing demand for low-seated, deep-cushion sofas that invite you to sink in and relax, designed for both casual lounging and formal entertaining.
There’s also a notable return to artisanal details, handcarved wood frames, plush upholstery in natural hues, and antique-inspired silhouettes, adding a sense of character and old-world charm to modern living spaces.” Bobby Aggarwal, Founder and Creative Director at PortsideCafé adds, “There is also a strong leaning towards tactile materials—bouclé, velvet, natural linens, or aged leather— that invite touch and add warmth to interiors. Versatility plays a big role too. In cities, especially, people want their furniture to adapt—modular forms, compact threeseaters, or bold accent sofas that can define a room without overcrowding it. At PortsideCafé, we approach each sofa as an object that balances function with personality. Whether it’s through unusual silhouettes, material play, or handcrafted details, the idea is to create something you can’t help but sink into—visually and physically.” Amruth Sampige, Co-founder of Dash Square, further shares, “Functional luxury, with built-in recliners, adjustable headrests, and tech-enabled features, is gaining popularity among discerning buyers.”
Who doesn’t dream of a dip in the magical world a sofa can unfold, especially at the end of a long day? Just like you can choose a dress for a particular occasion, you can choose a sofa that perfectly fits every need or situation. Sharing about their range of exquisite sofas, Amit Pai, Managing Director, Poltrona Frau India says, “Poltrona Frau’s latest Parka seating collection is available in two primary material combinations: a full Pelle Frau® leather upholstery or a mix of leather and fabric. In the combination option, the outer structure is covered in leather while the seat, backrest, and armrest feature fabric. The choice of materials aligns with Poltrona Frau’s commitment to refined craftsmanship and tactile richness.” “Domicil is an iconic German home furnishing brand with over 45 years of excellence. Vaishali Shah, Deputy General Manager, Design, Godrej Interio, further explains, “Our Upmods collection revolutionizes how modern Indian homes approach furniture investment. Rather than purchasing a fixed sofa that becomes outdated, Upmods offers a flexible platform where the core chassis remains constant while everything else can transform. This modular system provides better value to consumers by eliminating the need to replace entire furniture pieces when preferences change.
The standout feature is our seven different armrest styles that can be easily swapped, allowing you to transition from contemporary to classic aesthetics effortlessly.” Swetha Vegesana, Founder, Intent Made, informs, “The Sierra Sofa from the brand Intent Made, with its soft, curved form inspired by mountain peaks, gently stands out, making the space feel more open, warm, and inviting. It doesn’t just fill a corner; it creates a mood. The earthy tones and natural textures of the upholstery add a grounded, calming vibe, while the handbent wooden frame gives it a beautifully fluid shape that feels both thoughtful and effortless.” Gobind Kapur, Director, Maison Du Luxe says, “The sofa from Maison Du Luxe’s Lien Collection has a way of instantly pulling a living room together. The fabric makes it warm and inviting, the oak adds that grounded, timeless quality, while the bronze details give it just enough polish.”
Manoj Kumar Nair, Country Head – Operations (Brands) India, Middle East and Africa informs, “At Domicil, we don’t just offer you a product—we offer you a slice of life. Every design is created with a promise of beauty, functionality, comfort and dependability. Our commitment to delivering premium products with genuine value is what sets us apart.”
Sharing her insights on the functionality these sofa sets offer in elevating the look and feel of living rooms, Unnati Varna, Founder, UCUORO Designs says, “The best kind of sofa doesn’t just sit in a space—it recalibrates it. A well-designed seating system has the power to reorient how people move, gather, and even pause in a room. We design pieces that can either dominate a space or melt into it, depending on the client’s sensibility. A curved back might subtly divide a living and dining zone. An asymmetric armrest might invite more fluid lounging. For us, functionality doesn’t mean hidden storage or clever hinges—it means creating space for deeper living. While we avoid overt gadgetry, some pieces are engineered with intelligent transitions — an armrest that flips into a side table, or a detachable cushion that doubles as a low stool.”
Transform your homes with these luxurious yet function sofa sets that have been crafted with meticulous attention to detail and an uncompromising dedication to quality.
