Choosing a designer lounge chair that fits how you live
Your lounge chair should feel like it was made for you, both in comfort and character. Go for generous seating when you want a space to loaf in, or opt for a sleeker silhouette if you are tight on space. Textures matter too, with plush velvet adding softness while leather brings a sleek, timeless layer. Think about its day to day role. Is it for curling up with a book, chatting over coffee, or simply adding a sculptural moment in green or terracotta? The right choice feels natural, and that is when you know it has found its spot.
You’ll find pieces upholstered in velvets, bouclé and leathers, built on frames made of timber, metal or rattan, each chosen to feel as right as it looks. Whether you are adding an ottoman for extra relaxation or balancing out a sleek sofa from our sofas range, our lounge chairs invite you to sit, unwind and stay a while.
We focus on how each designer lounge chair works in everyday life. That means supportive cushioning, thoughtful arm and back heights, and fabrics that wear well but still feel inviting. Place it next to a soft ottoman for kicking your feet up, or style it with a sleek floor lamp for a reading nook. With colours and finishes that complement everything from textured rugs to natural timber accents, these chairs are about subtle personality that is built to live with, not just look at.
Feel settled at home
Picture how you will use your chair daily, maybe waking up with morning light or settling in for evening chats. Think about pairing it with an ottoman if you plan to stretch out, or matching its scale to surrounding furniture to keep things feeling cosy but spacious. A bold fabric can become a focal point, while a neutral hue leans into a calm aesthetic. When it looks like it belongs and feels effortlessly right, that is when the magic of a great lounge chair kicks in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Picking the right upholstery is about balance, how it looks and how it lives with you. Velvet feels soft and luxurious, ideal for cosy loungers, though it may need gentle upkeep. Bouclé brings texture and hides minor marks, perfect for high traffic spots. Leather ages beautifully and is easy to wipe clean, great if you want timeless appeal with practical care. Think about who uses the chair, how often, and what mood you want it to create, then choose a material that fits seamlessly into your everyday life.
The perfect lounge chair fits both your body and your space. Consider seat height, as too low can feel awkward and too high can isolate it from the room. Check seat depth; deeper means more stretch out comfort, shallower offers better posture support. Leave space to move around it easily.
