Nothing shouts antique elegance and style more than a Victorian chaise lounge. Picture the perplexed fair lady holding the back of her dainty little hand to her forehead, dramatically fainting on the nearest piece of furniture: the trusty chaise longue. A staple of the 19th century decor, the chaise longue has survived two centuries and is still found in rooms whose theme is stately sophistication.

Why have a Victorian chaise lounge?

An authentic Victorian chaise longue, either alone or paired with a complementary theme, adds instant elegance and class to any room. It brings the richness of a bygone era into your contemporary decor. You can marvel at its craftsmanship and even benefit from the functionality of the seating area provided by this piece. Whether alone or as part of a larger decorating decision, with Victorian chaise lounges, you can't go wrong.

What are the characteristics of Victorian chaise lounges?

Typically made with button-upholstered fabric and a solid wood base, the standard Victorian chaise lounge is the focal point for any room. Available in many colors and fabric textures and patterns, the chaise longue usually is either a staple of a well-appointed living room or parlor but can also furnish a bedroom for a touch of polish and class. Not a small piece, it can either replace a full sofa or be placed against or catty-corner to a wall for maximum effect. If the real deal is what you're after, then the old antiques can still be found on eBay in many colors and styles. Expect prices ranging from $500 to $1,500+.

Does a Victorian chaise lounge fit a contemporary space?

To own a Victorian chaise lounge does not make you a slave to Victorian decor choices for your entire room. For example, if you have mostly modern pieces, then feel free to optimize your space with contemporary pieces while adding a single chaise longue as an accent piece. It may even be desirable to pair the chaise longue with a Victorian lamp, to soften mood and tone. Feel free to experiment with variations to suit your taste. The modern rule is that there are no rules. Let your aesthetic sense and your reasonable side come up with solutions for your particular space, but a good approach is to aim for a balance between both antique and contemporary.

How to design a Victorian-style space on a tight budget?

There are still ways to get the sophisticated antique look without spending huge sums of money on authentic furniture pieces. The modern trend is shabby chic and can be easily mixed and matched across your entire design motif. From Pottery Barn to Wayfair, shabby chic pieces are plentiful and reasonably priced. Just look for distressed wood (or treat it yourself for a DIY project) and lightly aged iron. Pair any piece with a dainty mirror and voila, your home is now shabby chic, where vintage and country cottage combine to produce a softer, more lived-in look.
