What height is considered a high-back chair?
A high-back chair typically has a backrest that measures between 28 to 32 inches (71 to 81 cm) or more from the seat to the top of the chair. This height provides ample support for the upper back, shoulders, and sometimes even the head, making it ideal for both comfort and posture. High-back chairs are often used in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices, where additional support and stylish touches are desired.
What is the purpose of a wing chair?
A wing chair, or wingback chair, is a perfect blend of style and function. Originally crafted back in the 17th century, those iconic "wings" were designed to keep you cosy by blocking drafts and holding in warmth from a fireplace. Fast forward to today, and while they’re still great for curling up in, wing chairs are more about making a stylish statement in your home. Their high backs and signature wings not only look elegant but also create a snug, private spot that's ideal for relaxing with a good book or enjoying some quiet time.
How can I style my new high-back chair?
There are countless ways to style your new chair, making it a true standout in your space. Add decorative cushions to introduce fresh patterns and pops of colour, or pair your chair with a stylish rug or wall art to tie the room together.
For an inviting reading corner, consider placing your chair next to a side table with a cosy lamp and a few favourite books. This setup not only adds charm but also creates the perfect spot to unwind and escape into a good story. The possibilities are truly endless!
