Ah, bouclé. Nothing says cozy and chic like this delightfully nubby fabric. Better yet, it couldn’t be more versatile. On an ivory arm chair bouclé exudes hygge warmth. Or, as an elegant tweed, bouclé serves up haute couture (hello, Chanel jacket). However you like your bouclé, Decor Sleuth has your picks!

What is bouclé?

Bouclé is a technique that loops fiber to create a nubby texture and soft feel.

What is bouclé made from?

Wool is a popular choice for the bouclé treatment, though you won’t be hard pressed to find alternatives. Other options include cotton, linen, or blends.

How do you pronounce bouclé?

It’s pronounced boo-clay.

Why is bouclé popular?

Because it’s the best of both worlds: it has textural interest and it feels good to the touch! Plus, bouclé plays nicely with organic lines and neutral palettes, all of which have been trending.

Is bouclé durable and easy to clean?

That depends on the type of fabric and where you’ll be using it, so be sure to check the content and manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning. If you have pets who enjoy a good snuggle on the sofa and are worried about nails catching the nubs you might opt for a pillow or throw instead.
