Buying Guide

Where should a chaise lounge be placed in a bedroom?

Where a chaise lounge should be placed in a bedroom depends on two things: the available space in the room and your intended use of the chaise lounge. Chaise lounges invite you to kick back and relax. However, they also make a great spot for dressing. They also add a stylish design element to your bedroom, complementing what is already there.

One perfect place to position your chaise lounge is in front of a window. The natural light streams in, providing a place to enjoy a relaxing cup of tea or read a good book. Another cozy option is an available corner. This can be your sanctuary space within your bedroom, granting you privacy for a little self-care.

A lot will depend on the design of your chaise lounge. If it is a left or right-arm-facing design, this may limit your choices of where to place it. Facing refers to where the arm of the chaise lounge is located, on the left or right side.

Bedroom chaise lounges can be a stunning statement piece, so if this is how you intend to use yours, place it where it catches the eye the minute you walk through the door. Add a stylish floor lamp or a colorful throw. Put it in sight of the bedroom door and let guests get a glimpse of it as they pass by.

What is the best material for a bedroom chaise lounge?

The best material for bedroom chaise lounges is hardwood for the frame and legs and microfiber or leather for the upholstery. A combination of these materials makes the chaise lounge strong, stable, and durable.

Hardwoods like oak, mahogany, or teak are durable and resilient. They resist damage, scratches, and dents more easily. Softwoods such as pine are less stable.

Microfiber upholstery is stain-resistant and long-lasting, making it a suitable material for your everyday chaise lounge. Leather requires more maintenance, but if you prefer the look and texture, it is a durable option. Other materials suitable for bedroom chaise lounges include cotton and linen.

What styles do bedroom chaise lounges come in?

Whether you’re on the lookout for a statement-making piece of furniture that stands out on its own or prefer something a bit more subtle with a simple silhouette, the choices are almost boundless regarding bedroom chaise lounge styles and designs.

An intricately detailed chaise lounge accentuated by button-tufting, nailheads, scrollwork, and decorative frills would look beautiful in a traditional bedroom. These classy chaise lounges are usually upholstered in a glossy fabric, like silver linen, for a deluxe touch.

Alternatively, contemporary bedroom chaise lounges are known for their smooth lines and curves, tapered legs, and geometric design. They’re extremely versatile and compatible with most interior design styles.

Transitional bedroom chaise lounges strike a balance between these two styles. Picture an armless chaise with tufted details or a rectangular seat with turned bun feet and a rolled back.
