Striped sofas may conjour up images of outdoor deckchair prints or nautical interiors, but there's so much more to them than that. Of course a blue and white striped sofa is as much a part of coastal style as shutters or a coir rug, but stripes are a versatile style.
From Kelly Wearstler's low linear Durant sofa, with its 70s style diagonal print upholstery to Fendi Casa's on-trend curved Welcome! sofa accentuated in a delicately lined ivory bouclé, stripes are loved by designers for different looks.
Striped sofas can create an eye-catching focal point in a design scheme. However, not all of the best couches with striped upholstery require deep pockets and designer names, there are affordable models at the best home decor stores too.

How much do striped sofas cost?
As with any sofa, it depends where you shop. However you are likely to have to pay more for a striped sofa, as it will either be made-to-order, or produced in smaller volumes than those with plain fabric upholstery.
Designer striped sofas can run into thousands of dollars. However, there are some good models online between $1,000-$3,000 - and at lower prices on occasion.
