How to Find the Perfect Lounge Chair

Finding the ideal lounge chair can be a daunting task. Between the different styles, materials, and features, it's easy to get lost. This guide is here to shed some light with practical advice and help you discover that perfect piece: the armchair that will elevate your interior while meeting all your comfort and style requirements. Our team has combed through the catalogue to bring you a curated selection designed to make your choice easier.

How to Choose the Right Lounge Chair??

Before you fall in love with a specific model, let's go over the essentials. Clearly defining your needs is the best way to ensure a long-term purchase you won't regret.

1. Assess Your Space and Dimensions

First, and most importantly: get out the measuring tape. An oversized armchair will overwhelm a small studio, while a model that's too small will look lost in a large living room. Consider the flow of traffic around the furniture. If you're thinking about a recliner or a rocking chair, make sure to leave enough clearance for it to tilt or rock without obstruction. A well-proportioned armchair will fit in naturally, whether it's in the living room, a bedroom, or a reading nook.

2. Define Your Comfort Level and Desired Features

While comfort is subjective, it's based on tangible criteria. Seat height, depth, and lumbar support are crucial.

• A comfortable armchair should allow you to place your feet flat on the floor with your knees at a right angle.
• For maximum relaxation, a relaxer chair with a built-in footrest or a reclining model is the perfect choice.
• The choice of material is just as critical. A fabric armchair provides a warmer, cosier feel and is available in a wide variety of textures and colours.

3. Match the Style to Your Decor

The armchair is often a centrepiece of your decor.

• For a clean yet warm atmosphere, the Scandinavian armchair, with its simple lines and light wood legs, is a timeless choice.
• If you're looking for a statement piece, a designer armchair with original shapes or bold colours can energise your space.
• The key is to find a model that complements your existing furniture and asserts your personal style.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I choose a comfortable armchair?

To choose a comfortable armchair, check three key points: the seat depth (your knees should be at a 90° angle with your feet on the floor), the backrest height (it should support your back and, ideally, your neck), and the quality of the padding. High-density foam offers a good balance between soft cushioning and long-lasting support.

What kind of armchair is best for a small living room?

In a small living room, opt for an armchair with compact dimensions and a minimalist design. Models with thin, visible legs, like a Scandinavian armchair, create a sense of lightness and space. Avoid chairs that are too bulky or have very wide armrests, as they can visually clutter the room.

What is the difference between a relaxer chair and a recliner?

These terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a nuance. A recliner is a type of armchair with a backrest that can tilt backwards, often accompanied by a footrest that extends. The term relaxer chair is more general and refers to any armchair designed for relaxation, which can include recliners, but also rocking chairs, swivel chairs, or simply very well-padded chairs without any special mechanism.
