What Is a High-Back Chair?

A high-back chair features an extended backrest that reaches up to the shoulder level or higher. This design provides additional support for the upper back, neck, and head, making it an excellent choice for people who like extra support and proper posture.

How Do I Style a High-Back Chair?

Since these chairs tend to stand out due to their height, here are some tips to style them effectively:

Placement

Position the high-back chair in a suitable space where it can act as a statement piece. For instance, placing it near a window or in a corner of the room can create a cosy nook (perfect for reading). 

Accent with Cushions and Throws

High-back furniture, especially in neutral tones, can be styled with colourful or textured cushions and throws. This adds layers of comfort and visual contrast that make it an impressive set piece for guests. 

What Kind of Interiors Does a High-Back Chair Suit?

High-back armchairs are tall but not particularly wide, meaning that they can fit into various types of interiors, including:

Traditional Interiors

Chairs upholstered with ornate details, such as rolled arms, enhance classic interiors, adding a touch of sophistication.

Modern and Minimalist Interiors

Our sleek, modern high-back chairs are made with velvet or leather to fit well in minimalist settings. Their tall profiles add a touch of drama without overwhelming your space.

Scandinavian or Coastal Interiors

For homes with a Scandinavian (Scandi) or coastal theme, it's best to go for high-back chairs made from our light, neutral fabrics and natural materials like wood. These wood high-back armchairs blend well with simple, airy aesthetics. 

Are High-Back Chairs Comfortable?

Yes, they are very comfortable, especially for those who appreciate added support for the neck and shoulders. The taller backrest allows you to sit upright comfortably, which can be particularly comfortable when engaged in activities like reading, watching TV or sipping some wine.  

Are High-Back Chairs Out of Style?

Not on your life. In fact, high-back chairs continue to be popular in both modern and traditional interiors due to their versatility, comfort, and elegance.

Their timeless appeal ensures that they remain in demand in Australia as both functional and statement furniture pieces. 

What Types of Occasional High-Back Chairs Does Factory Buys Sell?

Rocking High-Back Chairs

These are perfect for creating a cosy, relaxed space in living rooms or nurseries. A rocking chair has a gentle motion that can be soothing, making it an ideal choice for a reading nook or a calm corner in the bedroom.

Recliner High-Back Chairs

These recliners are designed for extra comfort, offering adjustable backrests and footrests. These are great for relaxation, with the high back and footrest taking pressure off your lower back.
