Choosing the Right Seating Solution: Luxury, Aesthetics, and Comfort in Your Living Room

When we think about buying chairs and sofas for the living room, there is almost a universal tendency to prioritise aesthetics over comfort. We tend to focus more on how it will look regarding the décor surrounding them, while putting very little focus on how comfortable people would be while sitting in them.

That is an understandable mindset, but why should you have to choose between looks and comfort to begin with? As long as you know what to look for, chances are that you won’t ever need to choose between comfortable seating and luxurious aesthetics. Let’s look at how to go about making the right choice then.

Custom Seating Solutions

The advantage of established luxury brands is that they do not manufacture anything that is not comfortable to use first. If you want the best of aesthetics, luxury, and comfort then nothing can beat a custom seat that’s designed by some of the world’s leading furniture manufacturers, and further personalised to suit your needs. Visit the official Ligne Roset Hampstead website and start customising their Togo, Pukka, and Ploum seating solutions in the best way to suit your own drawing room’s décor and space with precision.

Beanbag

Beanbags have come a long way since their early days as affordable solutions for lounging on the floor. Nowadays, beanbags come in more shapes, sizes, and types than most of us know. In fact, elongated bean bags can be just as big or even bigger than the average sofa. Provided that you choose the right size, shape, and colour, they can indeed make for some truly comfortable and aesthetic seats while lounging. Be sure to buy quality products that preferably do not use plastic fabric and fillings.

Contemporary Round Chair

Think about a beanbag that also has the infrastructure to provide better lumbar support and you should have a pretty good mental image of what a contemporary round chair looks like. Most don’t have visible legs, which further adds to the chair’s aesthetic appeal. They come in a wide range of designs, colours, and sizes, so you will always be able to find one that suits your interior décor with perfection.

Barrel Chair

Barrel chairs are perfect for homes with modern or minimalistic themes. They don’t just look great, but they also make for very comfortable seats in the living room. However, since barrel chairs come in a very wide variety of designs, make sure that it does not have a very low back. The back of a barrel chair should at least come up to meet and encircle your lower back and waist area comfortably.

Note that although ottomans make for brilliant aesthetic pieces with multi-functionality (stool, temporary seat, coffee table, etc.), they are not meant to be comfortable chairs. If you are looking for proper seating arrangements, it is advisable to avoid any seat that does not provide proper back support. If it does not clash with the décor, you should also consider getting a padded recliner or two, especially if anyone in the family has back pain.
