Mindy Kaling

For those who are familiar with Mindy Kaling’s Instagram feed, you know that she has an eye for beautiful seating. Her favorite lounge spot is her velvet brown sofa with mustard piping in her TV room (which perfectly matches the mustard armchairs in her office and mustard stool in her entryway, mind you). But the latest swoon-worthy seat Kaling debuted on her ‘gram is a mod gold sofa that’s almost as gorgeous as the person sitting on it.

“Thinking about all the lipstick I’m going to wear in 2022,” Kaling captioned her May 18 pic. Hair stylist Marc Mena commented, “Love a good lounge.” And another follower added, “okay but I need this sofa.” Same.

There’s a lot to love about the couch Kaling shared — the color, the fabric, the shape, the tufting, etc. And because it has so many lovable features, it’s easy to find a similar couch that fits your own aesthetic. 

If you’re all about that channel tufting and curve, this sofa from Homary may be a great fit for your space. It features that plush upholstery, channeled detail, and comes in three different warm-toned colors, including this yellow shade.

AllModern also sells a gold curved couch that could be ideal for a smaller space. It’s called the Darrah and is an ultra-modern design upholstered in an oh-so-soothing velvet fabric.

Needless to say, Kaling’s taste in couches gets a big gold star.
