Chairs and Sofas: Back Styles

Posted January 11, 2014 by Desarae Evans

The style of the back of a sofa or chair dramatically affects the design of the overall piece. Whether a sofa's back is tufted or tight or loose or scattered determines the style of your space. Do you want a casual, comfortable, "messy-chic" style? If so, you should consider a loose-backed sofa. Is your style more clean and refined? In that case you'd be more inclined to purchase a tight-backed sofa or chair. If you're going for a glamorous, textured look, a tufted back piece would be a great option for you. In the following, I'm going to list and describe the available back styles so that you can better understand your options and how to apply them in your own design!
