2024 and 2025 encouraged neutral sofas in shades of beige, cream, and chocolate brown. In 2026, homeowners are seeking more color and richness out of their living room seating - and Sabrina Carpenter's living room offers the perfect idea.

In January, the singer purchased a Spanish revival home in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. She completed a total renovation with the talented House of Rolison team. Their brief was difficult; the designers wanted to maintain the character of the home's 1930s bones, while updating it for modern living. Partners Amanda Leigh and Taylor Hahn explain: 'Bringing the soul back into this 1930s Spanish was truly an amazing experience. With countless collaborative hours spent with architectural salvages and mindful rebuilding, we couldn’t be happier for its next chapter.'

The living room embodies their philosophy of warmth, character, and an artful blend of old and new, and the green, velvet, curved sofa is the ideal choice to tie it all together. Furthermore, design experts say it's setting the standard for sofa trends this year. To explore the look, let's start with a sneak peek into Sabrina's living room. Then, I've curated an edit of the perfect pieces for a green sofa look, and gathered expert quotes on why its shade, material, and shape are taking over in 2026.

Whether its a new sofa or accessories to add a touch of green to your current styling, these are the best pieces we could find to emulate Sabrina's style.

Sofa trends for 2026 are relying on the biophilic trend we're seeing throughout the interiors space. This makes Sabrina's couch the preferred pick.

Design expert Shelley Cochrane explains: 'In 2026, we’re seeing even greater demand for colors associated with the natural world. Blue and green hues are perennially popular, but demand has risen even further this year. Blue and green – whether bold or muted – are in increased demand thanks to the grounding effect they have on a space. A bold sofa in a cobalt shade can conjure happy memories of seaside holidays, while a muted green sofa evokes the tranquility of nature. Both are versatile shades and work with a number of styles and colorways.'

She continues: 'Choosing these colors allows you to create interiors that feel both timeless and refreshing, bringing a sense of balance and serenity to your living room.'

The mid-century modern shape of Sabrina's sofa is also key to how it taps into trends. As interest in nature-inspired spaces soars, so does an orientation towards non-linear shapes in design. Josh Branigan, interior design expert at Cuckooland, explains: 'Sharp lines and rigid silhouettes are continuing to give way to softer, more organic shapes. Curved sofas, rounded dining chairs, and circular tables remain popular, helping interiors feel calmer and more inviting as we move into spring 2026.'

He adds: 'In living rooms and bedrooms especially, these gentler forms help soften the overall structure of a space. A curved velvet sofa in deep sage or warm terracotta can act as both comfortable seating and a sculptural focal point, while a rounded bedside table introduces a softer edge without requiring a full redesign. Even in garden settings, rounded dining tables encourage easier conversation and movement, creating a setting that feels more relaxed and harmonious than traditional angular layouts.'

Ultimately, capturing the warm, earthy feel of Sabrina's living room is much easier and more on trend than it may seem.
