While we often advocate for incorporating pieces of furniture into your home that bring lots of interest and personality, sometimes you have a room that could benefit from sophistication and grace — the kind that a good, sturdy tailored sofa can provide.

Tailored is one of those words that we think means a lot to different people. As it should. “Tailored” can fit in with a lot of different styles because it usually represents something that has an elegant feel to it. Something that has clean lines; an “unfussy” look. Sometimes boxy, oftentimes with firm cushions, tailored doesn’t designate a certain color or pattern, but it does infuse interiors with a lot of sophistication. Need proof? We found ten recent house tours sporting tailored sofas, and you can see for yourself how elegant they make each space:
