Lounge chairs

Picking the perfect lounge chair for your room

While hunting for the perfect lounge chairs for your new or old space, always keep the size of your sofa as the mark. The lounge sofa chair must be 4 inches within the height of the sofa. The lounge chair you choose mustn't be too big or small in comparison to your sofa. This measurement lets you have an organised and comfortable space. Although they don’t take up much space in your house, ensure that your lounge chairs are proportional to your space. There are different types of lounge chairs varying in size, and features. If you have a tiny space, go for  chairs without the hand rests to save you some extra space. If you want to place it in your study or use it like a bedroom chair, you can get one with wider seating space and a long back to support you while you read your novel or rest for a while. Lounge chairs with a shorter back would be perfect on your balcony or near the windows when you want more light to enter your space while you relax. 

Lounge chairs are made of various materials but in India, we prefer wood which is the epitome of long-lasting furniture. Based on the purpose of the purchase, the usage and the placement, the materials of the lounge chairs make a huge difference. From leather to velvet to upholstered and solid wood, IKEA has a plethora of lounge chair collections that can accent your home perfectly. 

Pick

If you have a vision for your space, picking out a lounge chair can be a lot easier. While you design your living room, bedroom or whichever room and think you want to add a lounge chair, first envision what you’d do sitting in that space. This can help you find the right lounge furniture with the perfect style, shape, design, material and pattern, something IKEA is known for. While you add this lounge furniture to the other collections in your room, ensure that it syncs with the tone, and is complementary or in contrast to some parts of theirs like in colour, design or pattern. Adding different pops of colour to your space is always a fun part of interior design or furniture design. While we emphasise finding lounge sofa chairs that match your couch, they can also double as bedroom chairs where there might not be any other sofas. In such scenarios, you can find lounge chairs whose legs match those of your bed, your nightstand or your cupboard. With one colour matching the other furniture, the top of the lounge chair automatically resonates with the colours and themes in the room. You can also go for a similar pattern like floral or tropical, plain or abstract based on your interests. With such specifications in mind styling, your room with a lounge chair is made simple. 

To sum it all up you can pick the right lounge chair for your room based on:

• The comfort of the chair
• The size of the chair
• The features you require of the chair
• A chair that resonates with your style
• The ambience of your room
• A material that is easy to maintain and would last you a long time

Colour

If you’re confused with all the pretty colour selections you have while choosing your lounge chair, the easiest way to go is white or black. They blend with all the colours and give your room a more sophisticated appearance. However, if you want to escape this monochromatic duo, you can go with a lighter or darker shade of the colour of your sofa or TV unit. These armchairs are also known as living room chairs which is why they are usually spoken of in comparison to the couch. But if you want to add them to other parts of the house, you can match them with the colours of the wall, bedside tables, wardrobe and other staple pieces. You can make this lounge furniture stand out and be the masterpiece in a room by choosing a colour contrasting to those in the room. Other places you can draw inspiration from are the patterns, designs and colours on other furniture in and around the room. 

For some colour suggestions, you could go with the Neapolitan colour mix to give your room an uplifting ambience or go with the warm and smart royal colours, a dusky shade and a berry bright shade would be the chic design for your space, or some neutrals would also do the job. If you have these basic complementary and contrasting shades in your room, a lounging chair in these shades would be a perfect addition. 

Place

The biggest part beyond finding the right colours, size and dimensions is the perfect spot to place them in. These chairs add an accent to your space and catch the eye of everyone entering the room. Whether you wish to put your crying baby to sleep or just want to chill reading the daily headlines or maybe have a cup of tea while enjoying the view from your balcony, these lounge chairs are the perfect companions. You can place them near the windows if you don't have a balcony to enjoy the bright light coming in or in the front of your house where you can listen to all the gossip and the little bacchas playing. If you have a big and wide area in your home, you can always dedicate an entire area to the lounge and fill it with your versatile collections of lounge furniture. Adding a side table, with a lamp on top and some drawers underneath would make it the perfect corner to find some time to yourself. 

Style

Once you’ve placed your masterpiece in its location, styling it is the best part. Lounge chairs are not like the other sofa chairs for the living room, they are more decorative yet functional pieces. Adding extra style to its embellishment might sometimes be too much but with the right accessories, it can also be made perfect. If the seating of your lounge chair is longer and farther from your backrest, you can always add extra cushions to the back to give you some support and let your feet touch the ground. You can also add an ottoman in the front to stretch out your legs and be more comfortable. Adding ottomans contrasting or in the same shade to give the pair a perfect closure. Adding a side table with some fancy bright lamp on top would be a nice touch for your reading corner. But a simple coffee table would do if you just want to enjoy some time to yourself. If you want to keep things simple and don’t have much space, add a tall lamp behind the chair in a corner and place a creeper plant next to your chair, and allow it to grow around the lamp. This would give you an aesthetically pleasing corner to enjoy when you have to make do within a confined space.
