Design with Chesterfields in Mind

June 7th, 2010

The sophistication of the Chesterfield sofa has been the epitome of style and elegance throughout many centuries. For modern homes, there is a wide range of Chesterfields to choose from and they are created for those who seek that extra something, those who want tradition with a modern twist.

The Chesterfield does not just have to be for the main living room, many single winged backed chesterfields are well suited to fit in with today’s modern bedroom furniture.  They sit equally well against the high gloss of the black modular wardrobes or white gloss and are perfect for whiling away some time reading a favourite book.

As the range in colour options grows within the Chesterfield range, you may be surprised at the choice before you, however it makes it all the more easier to choose the ideal one for you. There are sizes to suit all manner of room sizes and are ideal for those who have living room and dining room combined.  One interior design tip is to use the sofa as the basis of deep colour in the room, if your walls are white, then use a deep colour for your Chesterfield and for the dining room table go for a honey coloured wood to soften the room.

The pattern you choose on your sofa will reflect the nature of your room, for those who want the ultimate in designer trends, then stripes are a must.  With this seasons colours being of a tropical twist, choosing a Chesterfield with, orange, lemon or lime will lift a room and give it a clean fresh, youthful feel.  If choosing a striped Chesterfield, you can also pick out one of the colours of the stripes and use this colour on your walls or for the soft furnishings such as the curtains.  These little touches add the extra finesse to your interior design.

Of course, the original styling of the leather Chesterfield has stood the test of time and this design is one of the immediate images that spring to mind.  Hard-wearing and durable, plus fully functional for a busy household, a leather Chesterfield is timeless.  Designing with this type of sofa in mind, is much easier than some might imagine, the deep warm colours are perfect for creating a welcoming home, by adding low coffee tables and using a an earthy coloured flooring, this would be a space you would want to stay in for a long time.

Choosing a Chesterfield is all about making your home stylish and elegant, be that in the bedroom or the living room, there is a Chesterfield to suit all tastes and needs.

The Leather Chesterfield Sofa – Traditional Or Contemporary

April 7th, 2010

The range of modern Chesterfield sofa designs is considerably more varied and extensive than traditional Chesterfield ranges. Sofas are available in virtually any colour and made from a whole host of different materials. What’s more, you can enjoy elevated seating positions with longer legs and you can buy chairs, foot stools and other pieces of furniture that are finished with the same unique and traditional Chesterfield design elements. So, what makes a sofa a Chesterfield?

Sofa Material

While the first image of a Chesterfield that springs to mind may be one of a leather Chesterfield sofa, this isn’t necessarily the case. They can be upholstered in a variety of different materials including leather and faux leather but also velvet and corded materials.

Sofa Colour

Any colour of fabric can also be used. Leather Chesterfield sofas are most commonly available in black and brown while blue and red are also popular colour choices. Modern colours include cream, white, and in a selection of different shades.

Traditional Chesterfield Sofa Design Characteristics

The traditional leather Chesterfield sofa has three main characteristics.

• The arms and back should be the same height forming a single uniform line across the top of the piece.
• The material that covers the frame uses deep set buttons to fix the material tightly to the frame. Chesterfield sofa purists will also expect the cushions to feature the same buttoned pattern although this is less important.
• The arms of the sofa should be rolled or tapered and will usually feature raised decorative nail heads to complete the design.

Choosing Your New Sofa

Beyond these characteristics, a traditional design can vary greatly. Modern manufacturing processes and improved materials and dyes also mean that the modern sofa, whether it’s a leather Chesterfield sofa or a fabric one, can take on many unique and stunning guises.

The Icon Of Classic Furniture Design – The Vintage Chesterfield Sofa

April 7th, 2010

The vintage Chesterfield sofa is as stunning and iconic as it is comfortable and functional. Whether it’s upholstered in antique leather, soft velvet material, or any other fabric, the vintage Chesterfield sofa is perhaps most identifiable by its deep set buttoned upholstery but beyond this there are several different basic designs that you can choose from. In most cases, the choice of design is a personal choice and while some may demand buttoned bases others prefer the added comfort of a cushioned base.

Getting The Vintage Look

Leather Chesterfield sofas remain one of the most popular lines and if you want to enjoy the look and appeal of a vintage Chesterfield sofa while enjoying the benefits of buying a new sofa, you can choose from a wide selection of Chesterfields upholstered in aged or distressed leather. While leather may be one of the most iconic materials used the Victorians were also partial to the use of fabric in their sofas.

Straight Backed Sofas

The Chesterfield is well known for its comfort and when choosing a vintage Chesterfield design you have the option of the more traditional straight backed sofa or one with a crested back which offers even greater support for your back and increased comfort. Modern sofas also offer a choice between high or low leg profiles. For the true vintage Chesterfield sofa look you should opt for the low bun leg look as the elevated high leg design is a more recent version of the classic design.

A Chesterfield To Match Any Taste

Whatever your preference in material, colour, design, and shape, you can find a Chesterfield sofa to suit your tastes and your room. However, to get the vintage look you should aim for those designs that are sympathetic with traditional designs – leather or fabric can be aged or distressed while low leg, buttoned designs and straight backs are the perfect profile for your vintage Chesterfield.

What To Look For When Buying A Chesterfield Sofa

February 22nd, 2010

The modern Chesterfield sofa design certainly draws a lot from its Victorian heritage. The arms, or wings, should be the same height as the back and the seat should have a low base. The buttoned upholstery is an ever present even in modern design and this is one of the features that most people look for when buying a Chesterfield sofa.

Getting The Design You Want

Various materials are used in the creation of modern Chesterfields, including less expensive but great looking fabric lines. However, it is the aged leather sofas that are among the most expensive and highly sought after by those looking for what is considered to be the best Chesterfield look. The leather is aged around the seat, head, and arm areas in order to give the appearance of being an antique sofa.
