The market is saturated with sofas for every decor style and budget, but if you want a couch that makes a statement [1], Urban Outfitters [2] is the place to shop. Not only are its sofas modern and reasonably priced [3], but their unique styles make an impression. From curved couches [4] and velvet sofas [5] to quirky love seats and comfortable sectionals [6], there are a plethora of couches this retailer offers. Our personal favourite is its Piper Petite Velvet Sofa [7] ($1,029), which has a soft velvet sheen and midcentury style — but there's more where that came from.
What to Look For When Shopping For an Urban Outfitters Couch
Urban Outfitters is known for its out-of-the-box designs, and while they're all tempting, it's smart to look for a style that fits your home best. Try to consider length, material, colour, and, of course, cost. While we love Urban Outfitters, a lot of its sofas are more suited for apartments or informal living rooms than for family rooms. If you have a lot of visitors, consider how durable the sofa's material in addition to its size. Does it match preexisting furniture in your home? To help you choose, we gathered our favourite sofas, plus a few alternative styles from different retailers, that suit our vibe. Check out our top Urban Outfitters sofa picks ahead.
