To discern the most fitting locale for your chaise lounge, commence by contemplating its intended use. Do you envisage yourself ensconced with a tome, engrossed in television, or indulging in siestas? Your envisioned usage will steer you toward the optimal placement.
Reading Nook
Should you yearn for a tranquil reading sanctuary, seek out a serene niche by a window or a secluded corner, distanced from the bustling zones of your abode. Ensure there is ample illumination, perhaps from a nearby lamp, to avoid ocular strain while perusing your favourite literature.
TV Room
For aficionados of cinematic experiences, orient your chaise to face the television. This configuration allows for comfortable viewing without necessitating any awkward neck contortions. However, be cautious to position the chaise lounge in such a manner that it does not obstruct the screen when reclined. A slight angling to the side can maintain an unobstructed view.
Snug / Alcove
If repose and naps are your primary intent, seclusion becomes paramount. Nestle your chaise into a snug alcove, perhaps draping it with curtains to evoke a sense of privacy, or select a spot removed from the home’s main thoroughfares to ensure undisturbed tranquillity.
In our 82nd edition of “Chaise of the Week,” we unveil the epitome of opulence with this magnificent Antique-style Large Chaise Lounge, adorned in Tepsi Damask in Amethyst by Zoffany. Embellished with antique stud detailing and dark oak cabriole legs, this purple velvet chaise longue would assert its presence in almost any interior.
Tepsi by Zoffany
Tepsi, envisioned by Zoffany, is an elaborate, figured velvet, intricately woven with a viscose pile on a flat ground and cross-dyed to yield a sumptuous, two-toned effect. The velvet is accentuated in a darker hue of the base fabric. The medium-scale design, featuring a scrolling oval damask motif, is reminiscent of the styles frequently employed by Fortuny in his creations.
Incomparable Craftsmanship
Each chaise longue boasts a hardwood frame meticulously crafted from sustainable European hardwood. The steel-sprung seats are then upholstered with precision by master craftsmen, ensuring that these chaises will endure the passage of time.
At The Chaise Longue Company, we perpetually augment our fabric repertoire, furnishing our clientele with an expansive array of textures, hues, and motifs to effortlessly harmonise their interiors. This month, we have already incorporated a novel bouclé fabric and now have the distinct pleasure of presenting Christian Lacroix Maison fabrics to our esteemed customers. Here’s a tantalising glimpse into the new assortment:
Butterfly Parade Velvet
This mesmerising butterfly motif has etched itself as an iconic element in the Christian Lacroix universe, retaining its popularity since its inception and we’ve made numerous chaise lounges in this fabric. Now elevated into a new dimension, it is digitally printed onto opulent cotton velvet, making it perfect for statement curtains and upholstery.
Soleils Osier
The sunflower—‘Soleils,’ as the French endearingly refer to these mythical blossoms—served as a central theme for Van Gogh during his sojourn in Arles, with lavish clusters adorning his room when Paul Gauguin visited. This homage to friendship by Christian Lacroix Maison portrays these flowers in a resplendent jacquard weave with scintillating colours, equally magnificent on both sides. It is well-suited for light upholstery.
Birds Sinfonia
Introducing a new emblematic print from Christian Lacroix—a series of exotic birds and botanicals with graphic colour bleed lines that imbue depth and a sense of motion. This vibrant, digitally printed cotton design is an ideal fabric for a myriad of interior applications.
Soft Manaos
A sumptuous cotton velvet with an elegant digital print of exotic fruits on a nearly black backdrop. Graphic illustrations interweave with painterly impressions of ripening fruit, creating an arresting print that offers colour, pattern, and personality.
Minimalist interiors are instantly identifiable by their immaculate, uncluttered aesthetics. In this week’s feature, we explore the quintessential chaise longue for aficionados of minimalist white decor. The expansive chaise lounge, swathed in Wemyss Riga fabric, not only exudes a fresh ambiance but also retains its immaculate white hue, courtesy of the integrated Fibreguard Stain Resistant technology.
A White Chaise Lounge? Indeed!
When investing in furniture, particularly in hues of white or cream, the concern of chocolate smudges or pet-related mishaps is ever-present. Fear not, for this white velvet chaise longue is resilient against the most stubborn stains, emerging unscathed and as pristine as the day it was acquired. The Fibreguard Stain Resistant technology ensures that blemishes such as mud and lipstick can be effortlessly erased with just soap, water, and a microfiber cloth.
Exemplary British Craftsmanship
From its core to its contour, this chaise longue epitomises British artisanal furniture-making. It boasts a traditionally constructed hardwood frame, a steel-sprung seat for enduring comfort, and meticulously hand-polished hardwood legs.
What’s the Point of a Chaise Lounge?
A chaise lounge serves to harmonise the ensemble of living room or bedroom furniture, complementing items like lounge chairs or sofas. In compact spaces where a full sofa or a three-piece suite might be impractical, a chaise longue introduces a sense of equilibrium and provides additional seating options for guests.
