In this week’s episode of Chaise of the Week, we are thrilled to unveil the Classic Small Chaise Longue, meticulously adorned in Crest’s enduring Old English Leather in Hazel. This opulent brown leather chaise lounge is embellished with antique studs on the arm face and rests gracefully on dark oak splayed legs.
Crest Old English Leather
Old English leather, an aniline finished, subtly buffed pull-up leather, exudes a warm, vintage charm. This character is achieved through a unique tanning process involving a special blend of oils and waxes, bestowing it with its distinctive crackled and weathered appearance. This exceptional, perpetually favoured leather accentuates the hand-crafted nature of upholstery with its immediate and undeniable heritage allure. This artisan-inspired material, available in a stunning colour palette, is widely utilized in both residential and commercial sectors.
Handmade with Meticulous Care
Each chaise longue, crafted in their Yorkshire workshop, is meticulously handmade by skilled artisans. From the robust hardwood frames and steel sprung seats to the high-quality fillings, every chaise lounge is tailored to the client’s specifications, making each piece truly unique.

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.
