Traditional style sofas

A traditional sofa is a classic, timeless piece of furniture. The designs are characterised by more elegant or ornate details, rolled or scroll arms, and a structured, formal silhouette. The style also leans towards deeper seating, higher backs, and often raised legs with castors. Upholstered in durable fabrics like linen, velvet and leather.

What does a traditional sofa look like?

A traditional style sofa will have some key design features:

  • The shape of sofa arms are either rolled, scroll or flared
  • Higher and more supportive backs, with tufting or tight upholstery
  • Sometimes includes details like buttons, nailhead studs, or pleating
  • Wooden legs, often turned, but sometimes with brass castor wheels
  • Often features a deep, comfortable seat, designed for formal living spaces
