Designer Favorites from Lee Industries
With years of experience helping clients choose furniture, our Design Consultants know what makes a piece worth bringing into a home. Lee Industries is a favorite for its quality, comfort, and ability to be customized to suit a wide range of interiors. With so many frames and upholstery options to choose from, there are plenty of favorites.
We asked our Design Consultants to share the Lee pieces they love most and what makes them so special. From classic sofas to versatile ottomans, their picks showcase some of the many reasons our designers turn to Lee time after time. Here are the pieces they keep coming back to, along with a look at how them might use them in a home.
Amy’s Pick: 3265-03 Sofa
Amy loves the English arm and unfussy traditional lines of the 3265-03 sofa. “I love a patterned sofa,” she says, and she has a particularly colorful vision for this one.
She would upholster the sofa in Lee’s Harper Melon fabric and pair it with throw pillows in Thibaut’s Fairbanks, a peach traditional floral. A Lee Tailor Made custom ottoman in Thibaut’s Aliso, a peach and cream zigzag, would add another layer of pattern and texture.
With soft blush walls and a jute rug, Amy imagines this combination in a sunroom: comfortable, collected, and full of personality
Emily’s Pick: 1243-01 Chair
Emily describes the 1243-01 chair as “sneakily comfy,” making it a natural choice for a cozy sitting nook.
Her vision is all about layering: inspiring colors, varied textures, and a good handful of favorite books. The 1243-01 chair invites you to settle in and stay awhile, while its simple tufted silhouette leaves plenty of room to personalize it through fabric and styling.
Heather’s Pick: 9158-00 Ottoman
Heather chose the 9158-00 ottoman for its versatility. Used in a pair, these ottomans can serve as extra seating while also adding color and personality to a room.
She would place a pair at the foot of a bed, beside or underneath a console table, or in front of a sofa or other seating. Their smaller scale makes them easy to move around as your needs change, making them a particularly useful addition to a room.
And, upholstering them in a bold fabric is a great way to add a pop of color to a room!
Diana’s Pick: 1935 Chair
Diana’s favorite Lee piece is the 1935 chair, which proves that good looks and comfort can go hand in hand. With down cushions and a surprisingly generous seat, this chair is both comfortable and versatile.
“I’d style it in a beautiful warm-toned velvet with antique brass nailheads,” Diana says. She sees it as the perfect reading chair tucked into a corner or positioned beside a fireplace.
With its simple lines and timeless shape, Diana sees this chair becoming a classic piece to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Cherisse’s Pick: 7071-03 Sofa
For Cherisse, the appeal of the 7071-03 sofa is its adaptability. Its sophisticated style and clean lines can work beautifully in both traditional and contemporary spaces, depending on the fabric you choose.
She also loves the detail on the back, where an inset welt creates an opportunity to introduce a contrasting fabric without being too much. It’s a small detail, but one that can add personality without overwhelming the overall design.
