Lounge chairs

Can lounge chairs be used in both living rooms and bedrooms?

Yes, lounge chairs can be used in both living rooms and bedrooms.

In living rooms, they typically provide additional seating alongside a sofa or main seating area. In bedrooms, they are often used as a simple place to sit, read or get ready during daily routines.

Because they aren’t tied to a single function, our lounge chairs can adapt to different rooms as needs change.

• Living room lounge chairs: Add extra seating without making the space feel overcrowded.
• Bedroom lounge chairs: Create a calmer corner for reading, relaxing or slow mornings.
• Compact lounge chairs: Easy to fit into apartments or smaller rooms.
• Modern lounge chair: Brings shape, texture and personality into spaces that need a little something extra.

An IKEA lounge chair can work in more than one space as long as it supports how the area is used.

For additional seating outside the home, explore our outdoor lounge chairs for patios, balconies and other open areas.

What materials are best for modern lounge chairs?

A modern lounge chair can look good and still be surprisingly comfortable, depending on the materials.

Here are the most common materials for a modern lounge chair:

• Fabric: Creates a cozy and relaxed vibe.
• Leather: Brings structure and personality and pairs well with a soft throw blanket.
• Wood: Adds shape, texture and natural minimalism to the room.

Pro tip: Homes with pets, movie nights and everyday lounging may lean toward softer fabrics. Cleaner-lined spaces often work well with leather or wood accents.

Either way, your IKEA lounge chair should feel inviting before you even sit down.
