They say everything is bigger in Texas, but if you've been scrolling through Pinterest or flipping through design magazines lately, you've probably noticed something: furniture is getting even bigger. And we're not just talking about a few extra inches — oversized furniture is officially having a moment, and it's projected to be one of the biggest interior design trends 2026 has to offer.
The shift toward oversized furniture makes perfect sense when you think about how we actually use our homes. After years of prioritizing minimalism and compact living, people are craving comfort, coziness, and spaces that invite them to truly relax. Enter oversized furniture — pieces that are generously proportioned, luxuriously plush, and designed for maximum comfort without sacrificing style.
If you love following trends for interior design but don’t know how to practically include them in your own space, you’ve come to the right place. At Living Designs Furniture, we specialize in creating custom furniture that combines the dramatic scale you're seeing in high-end showrooms with the quality craftsmanship and personalized service you won't find anywhere else. Even better? We can create pieces that rival — or even exceed — those expensive designer options you've been eyeing, all at prices that actually make sense.

Why oversized furniture is dominating 2026 design trends
The rise of oversized furniture isn't just about aesthetics — it's about how we want to feel in our homes. After spending more time at home than ever before, people have realized that their furniture should prioritize comfort and livability above all else. Those sleek, space-saving pieces that looked great in magazines don't always feel great when you're actually living with them.
Oversized furniture delivers on multiple levels:
- Makes bold visual statements
- Anchors your space as the centerpiece
- Creates focal points and movement throughout the room
- Transforms the living room into a cozy, relaxing environment instantly
Think deep oversized couches with cushions so plush you could nap for hours, or an oversized sectional that can accommodate your entire family for movie night without anyone fighting for the comfortable spot.
This trend also reflects a broader shift in trends for interior design toward creating homes that feel collected, curated, and deeply personal rather than showroom-perfect. Oversized furniture has personality — it's approachable, inviting, and makes a statement without trying too hard.
Our collections that embrace the oversized furniture trend
If you're wondering where to start with oversized furniture, we have three collections that beautifully embody this trend with their curved lines, plush cushions, and generous proportions. Each piece in these collections can be fully customized to fit your space, style, and comfort preferences.
The River Oaks Collection
Our River Oaks Collection features sophisticated silhouettes with the kind of grand scale that makes a statement. These pieces embrace curves and rounded edges that soften the oversized look while maintaining that luxurious, substantial presence. Deep seating and plush cushioning make every piece in this collection feel like a first-class experience.
The Jasmine Collection
The Jasmine Collection brings a more structural and bold approach to oversized furniture featuring wide track arms, deep seats, and soft-to-the-touch fabrics — a real 70’s modern vibe with generous proportions. This collection is perfect for homes that want their living space to make a statement without compromising on comfort. These pieces scream “style” but feel just as good as they look.
The Montrose Collection
The Montrose Collection is the perfect entry point into oversized furniture with its approachable modern look. These versatile pieces feature comfort-conscious depth that's accommodating for both sitting and lounging — exactly what this trend is all about. Whether you prefer to sit upright with proper back support or stretch out for a lazy Sunday afternoon, The Montrose's generous proportions handle it all beautifully.
What makes oversized furniture so appealing?
The beauty of bigger furniture lies in its ability to transform both the look and feel of your space. Here's what sets this trend apart and why it's resonating with so many homeowners:
Deep plush seating is inviting
One of the defining characteristics of oversized furniture is its generous proportions, particularly when it comes to seating depth. With the additional inches of seat depth, deep oversized couches give you plenty of room to curl up, stretch out, or lounge however you prefer.
This extra depth transforms how you experience comfortable furniture. Instead of perching on the edge of your sofa, you can truly settle in. Pair that depth with thick, cushioned backs and oversized throw pillows, and you've got seating that feels more like a luxury hotel than your average living room. At Living Designs Furniture, we build our cushions with high-density foam that maintains its shape and support even with that extra-deep seating — no sagging, no losing support, just lasting comfort that holds up to daily use.
Sectionals designed for real living
If there's one piece driving the oversized furniture trend, it's the oversized sectional. These generous L-shaped or U-shaped configurations have become the go-to choice for homeowners who want their living rooms to feel like true gathering spaces. An oversized sectional does more than just provide extra seating — it creates zones within your living room and establishes a sense of flow and purpose in the space.

Whether you're hosting game day watch parties, having family over for the holidays, or just want room for everyone to spread out during movie night, an oversized sectional ensures everybody has a comfy seat. We've seen tremendous interest in large sectionals with curved silhouettes that soften the look while still maintaining that generous scale. And because every sectional we create is fully customizable, you can configure yours to fit your exact space and seating requirements.
Bold statement with a cozy style
Larger pieces naturally bring a different energy to your space — they command attention, anchor the room, and create an immediate sense of substance and permanence. But here's what makes the oversized furniture trend so special: these statement pieces don't sacrifice coziness for drama. You get both the visual impact of furniture that truly fills your space and the welcoming, sink-into comfort that makes you never want to leave.
If you're drawn to moodier aesthetics, we can create oversized leather living room furniture that adds richness and sophistication while maintaining that inviting, cozy feel. A large leather sectional in cognac or chocolate tones creates an incredibly warm atmosphere, while charcoal or black leather brings a contemporary edge without feeling cold or uninviting. The generous scale of oversized furniture means even darker, more dramatic materials still feel approachable and livable rather than intimidating.
Complete sets that create cohesion
While a single oversized piece can make an impact, many homeowners are embracing complete oversized living room furniture sets that create cohesive, intentional spaces. This approach — like pairing an oversized sectional or sofa with complementary accent chairs, ottomans, or loveseats — ensures your entire living room feels balanced and purposeful rather than cluttered.
It’s important to note that living room furniture sets don’t have to be matchy-matchy. With Living Designs Furniture, you can create a curated set of pieces that all work together seamlessly while still expressing your style. You might pair a deep, plush sectional with a streamlined leather accent chair and a textured ottoman. Each piece has substance and presence, but they work together to create a layered, collected look rather than a “I bought this entire collection from IKEA” look.
Why buy oversized furniture from Living Designs Furniture?
When you're investing in substantial oversized furniture pieces, you want to know you're making the right choice. Here's what sets us apart in a nutshell: save money, get better quality.

We use premium materials — sturdy frames, high-density foam, and durable fabrics — that ensure your oversized furniture maintains its beauty and comfort for years to come. The less often you have to replace low-quality furniture, the more money you have in your pocket long-term. That’s furniture math.
True customization with no limits
Because we manufacture everything ourselves, we can offer true customization on every piece. Want your deep oversized couch a few inches deeper? Prefer a specific fabric that complements your existing decor? Need your oversized sectional configured to fit an awkward corner? We'll make it happen.

Hundreds of Houstonians have customized their furniture with us — and they absolutely adore their homes because of it. No regrets here; just perfect pieces tailored to their spaces.
Quality dupes without the designer prices
Customers come to us with photos of furniture they've fallen in love with from high-end brands — pieces that cost $8,000, $10,000, or more. And here's what we tell them: we can create that exact look with better quality materials and superior craftsmanship for significantly less money.
Our high-end furniture dupes approach isn't about cutting corners — it's about cutting out unnecessary markups. Because we manufacture everything right here in our Houston factory, you're paying for materials and craftsmanship, not imported tariffs and shipping costs.
