High Leg Sofa Designs vs Low Leg

High leg sofa designs owe their current popularity to the influence of mid-century-modern design. This post features a collection of five designs that are contemporary or lifestyle looks. However – each piece is available with either high legs or low legs. (And many other options!) This choice makes a big impact on the story the piece tells in your room.

We have to consider you and your room to make these decisions. What choices best create the right balance of hipness and sophistication?

Carmet Design

Carmet has a chunky frame with plush back and seat cushions. The arms are a sleek track design. BY DESIGN’s clients have selected Carmet in both low leg and high leg sofas designs. Sectionals too!

Estero Design

Estero’s arm design steals the spotlight. The way the wide track tapers a bit towards the top adds a huge amount of visual interest. This subtle detail plays well from front, sides and back. Both the low leg version of Estero and the high leg sofa designs look great!

Montara Design

The Montara design flaunts a broad and deep track arm profile. A word that comes to mind is “architectural”.
