Statement Seating Ideas: The Amazon Small Chaise

Taking centre stage for this weeks’ Chaise of the Week, we have this stunning Small Chaise Lounge, upholstered in Amazon Navy, designed by Emma J Shipley for Clarke & Clarke. Finishing this chaise off is matching piping and grey cabriole legs.

Who is Emma J Shipley?

Emma J Shipley, a renowned British graphic artist, specialises in curating homeware and accessories tailored for nature enthusiasts, dreamers, and maximalists. With an innate passion for wildlife and nature, Emma draws inspiration from the most remote and untamed corners of the Earth, including the lush jungles of South America and the vast savannahs of Africa. Her creative process intertwines personal travel experiences with a rich imagination fuelled by myths, legends, and fairytales, resulting in a mesmerising world of design that captivates the senses.

Each design by Emma J Shipley originates as a hand-drawn sketch, meticulously crafted with pencil strokes that capture the essence of her imaginative universe. These initial sketches serve as the foundation for her digitally enhanced artworks, where vibrant colours and intricate details breathe life into her visionary designs. The fusion of traditional handcraftsmanship with cutting-edge digital techniques results in a distinctive aesthetic that sets Emma’s work apart.

Where to put your Small Chaise Longue

One of the most popular uses for a small chaise longue is to create a cosy reading nook. Placing it near a window provides ample natural light and a peaceful atmosphere for diving into your favourite book. Consider adding a soft throw blanket and a few decorative pillows to enhance comfort and style. This setup not only encourages relaxation but also adds a charming focal point to the room.

In a bedroom, a small chaise longue can transform a neglected corner into a luxurious retreat. Positioning it at the foot of the bed creates a seamless transition between sleeping and lounging areas. Opt for a design that complements your existing decor and upholstery that adds visual interest. Whether you use it for morning stretches, late-night relaxation, or simply as a decorative accent / clothes horse, a small chaise lounge adds both functionality, elegance and style to any bedroom.
