Modern Leather Recliners

Reclining loveseats

You don’t have to recline alone. Today’s modern furniture provides couches and loveseats that recline. They, too, come in beautiful leather. Imagine kicking back with your nearest and dearest in the recliner just across that conveniently placed center table, with a big bowl of popcorn, your favorite drinks and the remote. Each of you can adjust your section to suit your comfort while you debate the question of the evening: what to watch. The leather upholstery is firm enough to support but soft enough to give cushioned luxury.

Mini recliners

The modern housing trend is toward small, super-insulated houses or apartments. This saves on building material and on heating and cooling bills but presents some problems when it comes to furnishings. This is where the zero-space mini recliner comes in. the seat moves forward to allow the back to recline instead requiring space to the back of the chair to work. This means that it takes up less floor space. If you are a small person, you can also take advantage of having a chair engineered for your size, which increases your comfort. Upholstery? Why, leather, of course. Small does not mean cutting corners on comfort.

Colored leather recliners

Natural leather comes in shades of brown, beginning with soft cream and ranging up through dark mahogany. But leather takes dye very well, so your leather recliner can be any color you want. You will find that white, brown, beige and black are easier colors to locate, however. If you do not wish to purchase a specialty item, you can still add color to your room with bright afghans and colorful throw pillows while still enjoying the natural luxury of leather. If you are interested in ecology and the balance of nature, look for leathers that are by-products of the meat industry.

The country estate style recliner

Fancy something more traditional? Any fan of Regency romances knows the scene where the Gentlemen retire to the study to enjoy their tobacco and brandy. The room is decorated with mounted, taxidermized heads and well-preserved prize fish. Also part of this scene is the high-backed leather chairs, accompanied by comfortable footstools and plaid wool throws to ward off the chill of a Scottish evening. Fast forward to your country estate interior decorating theme and replace that ancient chair with a modern leather recliner, engineered for your comfort. Even if your crackling fireplace fire is a computer screen accompanied by a forced air electric heater, you can recreate those evenings of comfort and independence.
