How to Personalize Your Bassett Custom Sofa
What goes into making a great sofa? As with a great work of art, a beautiful piece of furniture can seem like an effortless production. But a lot goes into creating a memorable living room centerpiece. A sturdy frame, durable cushions, and top-notch upholstery are just the start.
Choose the Right Size
The first step to creating your design is choosing the appropriate size for the space your custom sofa will fill. Knowing the exact dimensions of the available space is a must. After all, it does no good creating an impressively large sofa if you don't have the room to accommodate it.
Arm and Cushion Style
After size, the next consideration is the arm and cushion style. Seating cushions generally come in two types: a straight cushion or a T-cushion.
The straight cushion covers the seating area, boxed in by the sofa arm. The T-cushion extends over the sofa arm and stops short of the sofa's front edge. Two T-cushions placed side by side form a stocky iteration of the letter "T."
Arm styles offer a bit more choice. The English (or London), Lawson, and rolled arm styles satisfy traditional tastes. Sock arms and track arms are perfect for more contemporary styles.
Back Cushion Styles
The back of the sofa is another area that offers many choices. The back cushions in a loose back sofa are not attached and can rotate to help the cushions maintain their proper shape.
If you like the loose back look but have kids or pets, you might consider the semi-attached back cushion style. These cushions are attached to the back of the sofa but give the appearance that they're loose.
The tight back option is fully attached to the back of the sofa and tends to have a more firm feel compared to the semi-attached style. The advantage of the tight back cushion is that you'll never need to fluff it. Check out our custom upholstery styles for more details about cushion options and fabrics.
Base Style
You'll also need to decide on the look for the front of your sofa. There are two general base styles: skirted or legged.
As the name suggests, the skirted base has a fabric "skirt" that extends from below the seating cushions down to floor level. A skirted base goes well with the more traditional styles of sofa.
The legged style suits contemporary tastes and features prominent sofa legs. You can have a lot of fun deciding on the type of leg and foot styles you'd want!
