A comfortable perch

So much more than a place to sit, a cosy lounge chair becomes a go-to for rest and relaxation.

Unwinding is made so much better with a seat that supports you. Both in posture and warmth, yet also like a companion you return to each day.

Often, singular armchairs are used as accent points to fill lone corners, or another place for guests to sit. However, their individuality and size make them equally tempting for solo moments. A more intimate place to curl up than a couch you get lost in, having your dream chair is a must for each person at some point in their lifetime.

After a long day at work, or a big session at the gym, slumping into an uber-comfortable chair with a hot drink and a good book seems like bliss. Remember that feeling when you’re shopping.

Ensure comfort and warmth through your fabric choice, opting for that of velvet or faux fur, or on-trend boucle.

Ask yourself if the chair can meet your needs when you want to enter your most relaxed state. If you like to stretch out, tuck into a ball, or you need ergonomic support, find a chair that accommodates that. Think of the edge and shape you might appreciate, such as curved or straight. Once you tick that box and ensure it will suit your space, get out the credit card.

Lounge chairs are used as accents for a reason. If you can, stick to a similar colour scheme as its neighbouring couches, although a contrasting tone often works too, and can add some fun juxtaposition to your space.

Accessorise with purpose. Avoid a cushion that feels rock solid or a throw that is too scratchy, and instead find items that add to the cosy aura, such as plump cushions, fluffy rugs, or a lush sheepskin.
