English Arm Sofas For Grandeur

Enhance your living room furniture and decor with the addition of English arm sofas. These beautifully-curved couches offer a light touch of drama for a home that feels unique, yet modern. Look to the slope of these arms for additional comfort when lounging. Heads and necks love the sense of being cradled while watching a movie or catching up on reading, too. With your choice of upholstery in plenty of classic and popular colors, you can order a sofa that suits your personal aesthetic or helps to transform your living room's atmosphere. Explore how English arm sofas can elevate your interior decor when you start shopping today.

What Are English Arm Sofas?

English arm sofas are traditional pieces of furniture that feature a specialized silhouette to the arms of the sofa. In most homes, sofas are an essential furnishing, providing friends and family with a comfortable place to gather, relax or socialize.

  • English arms refer to the geometric slope of the sofa's arms. With this style, you get the dramatic swoop of a Georgian or Victorian antique, while the rest of the sofa retains the modern elegance you've come to expect from Pottery Barn.
  • These details blend well with a home full of eclectic influences or period pieces. For instance, if you love antique furniture, but want a brand-new sofa for the quality and freshness of fabric, the English arm look may be for you.
  • Once you fall for the look of English arms, you can find the feature available on sofas, sectionals or occasional chairs to create whole-room harmony.
  • The other aspects of these sofas are similar to other furniture you may already have. High backs, soft cushions, sturdy frames and clean aprons define these sofas.

Adding Elegance to Your Decor

The use of English arm sofas in your home gives you an opportunity to experiment with different design eras and their top features. For example, the curves of a Georgian-influenced dresser or the rich wooden expanse of dining benches marry nicely with the subtle angling of these sofa arms.

  • Don't be afraid to mix-and-match styles. Once you begin to place lines and curves into your decor, you'll find more ways to include opulence or fine craftsmanship.
  • Allow your rugs and other upholstered furniture to complement your sofa for a cohesive look that will make people think you hired a professional interior decorator. Ideas could include tufted chairs, woolen rugs, glass lampshades and more.
  • When choosing your upholstery, decide which color and texture gives you the most versatility. Play with earth or jewel tones, tweed, twill and other favorites.

English arm sofas let you define your taste as superlative, especially when you place your sofa in a central location of your home.
