Stylish arms and legs make important contributions to the charm of the furniture they adorn, but they’re details that are often overlooked.

A rigid utilitarian track arm or a curved leather one accented with nailhead trim… each arm’s design is a statement, whether subtle or daring. Or consider a complete lack of arms, which can be a powerful and elegant style declaration.

A chair’s arms emulate their human counterparts – a delicate scroll invites your hand to hold it. A casual slope suggests a comfortable loose embrace. A pint-sized accent chair envelops the sitter in a tight hug. Legs define the wood furniture and upholstery pieces they support. They can command attention like a stiletto heel, or, like a slim ballet flat, fade in to the background, allowing other elements to take the spotlight. Legs are the place for design details that emphasize the function and style of sofas and chairs.

There is a look that appeals to each of us, whether baring it all or modestly skirted, ornately curvy or stick straight. Skirt details like pleats and ruffling are style statements that can make or break a piece for each buyer, too. Don’t overlook these clever details.

Modern-style chairs integrate arms and legs together, allowing wood and fabric to contrast in simple and classic designs. This look suits those with no-frills, no-nonsense personalities. A piece of furniture is a collection of details put together to form a whole.

The arms and legs on chairs, sofas, and casegoods are essential to the style of furniture you love. Have fun expressing your personality with unique and beautiful arm and leg details.
