What does the back of your sofa look like?

Today's Agenda:  Working with client and electrician to hang these lights,

in this space! (this is the before picture -- everything is cleared out now except for the art on the wall)

Pretty exciting! 

So, I have two current projects that require me to take into consideration how pretty the backs of sofas are.  In addition to being just the right size, the right color, the right fabric and the right level of comfiness.  The backs of sofas have never been this critical in a project before to be honest.  But it really does matter.  And in either space there is no room for a console table to style.  The back of the sofa will just be out there on its own.  I've narrowed it down to a couple of options that will work well.

This is my set of criteria:
- Fabric that is either colorful or textured
- No seams
- A lower back so you see the rest of the room with the sofa (almost like you are looking at the front of it)
- Pretty legs that prop the sofa up just the right little bit.  

Here are some good looking backs of sofas...
