Studio Costa+Azevedo - Casa Origens Mercado Livre. A dupla Josemar Costa e André Azevedo criou um apartamento completo e quase sem divisões em 53 m² – “uma casa que entrega o melhor do Brasil pelo olhar de quem seleciona, coleciona e mistura com uma estética voltada ao design e à arte”, segundo os autores. A brasilidade e a latinidade comparecem no uso de cores e estampas (sobressaem o amarelo das cortinas e o marsala das paredes), enquanto a seleção criteriosa de móveis e objetos revela personalidade, a exemplo da poltrona modernista LC1. No hall, um cobogó desenhado pelos profissionais indica a singularidade das soluções adotadas. (Denilson Machado, do MCA Estúdio/CASACOR)
Earth-toned sofas are among the top picks for decor trends in 2026. Inspired by the colors of nature, shades such as terracotta, clay, caramel, sand, rust and chocolate have taken center stage in projects that value comfort, permanence and connection with natural materials.

Although these colors marked the aesthetics of the 1970s, the contemporary reinterpretation presents a more balanced language. Today, they appear combined with cleaner lines, sophisticated fabrics and neutral palettes, making the sofa an element capable of warming up projects without limiting future changes in décor.

The appreciation of earth tones follows a transformation in the way interiors are conceived. After years dominated by very cold and minimalist bases, interest is growing in projects that convey warmth and personality.

In this context, the sofa is no longer just a functional piece of furniture and takes on a central role in the composition. Earth-inspired shades help create a more comfortable atmosphere and align with the search for homes that favor well-being and permanence.

Despite belonging to the same color family, earth tones offer different possibilities. Small projects usually benefit from lighter versions, such as sand, warm beige or soft clay, which maintain the sense of spaciousness.

Large living rooms, on the other hand, allow for exploring deeper colors, such as terracotta, rust or chocolate, capable of creating contrast and highlight the sofa as the protagonist of the projects.

One of the advantages of earthy tones lies in the ease of combination. They work very well alongside natural woods, light stones, plant fibers, and fabrics such as linen and cotton, creating a balanced and welcoming composition.

They can also be contrasted with greens, grayish blues, or black details, depending on the design concept. This versatility explains why they remain current even amid the constant shift in trends.
María Inés Justiniano - Galería Bibosi. Ambiente da CASACOR Bolívia 2026. (Alvaro Mier/CASACOR)
The choice of upholstery directly influences the perception of the sofa. Bouclé, chenille, linen, velvet, and fabrics with a natural appearance change the way light falls on the piece and add depth to the composition.
Luis Alves + Samuel Resende - Lavabo Casulo. (Felipe Petrovsky/CASACOR)
In contemporary projects, the combination of earthy tones and tactile materials reinforces the sense of comfort and brings the projects closer to a more sensorial aesthetic.
Marina Salles Arquitetura e Interiores - Home Office Entre Veios. (Bia Nauiack/CASACOR)
Unlike very bold colors, earthy tones present an important characteristic: they remain relevant even when the decor changes. This makes it possible to refresh the projects through cushions, throws, rugs, and decorative objects, without the need to replace the sofa.
Marco Lula - Loft Urucum. Projeto da CASACOR Goiás 2026. (Edgard César/CASACOR)
This ability to adapt makes sofas in earthy tones a long-lasting investment. More than following a trend, they help build welcoming, versatile projects capable of moving through different styles over time.
