Many people may have this question: Why does my living room always look a little off, not as well-organized as I imagined? The main reason is that I haven't chosen the right lounge chairs, especially choosing chairs with very bright colors that don't match the rest of the furniture. In fact, the two largest color blocks in living room furniture should be the sofa and the rug. Therefore, following the logic of hierarchy, these two should be the main elements of the space, while the rest of the furniture, such as the lounge chairs and coffee table, should play a supporting role.
At this point, if a taller, more brightly colored lounge chair appears, it might overshadow the sofa. Once the primary and secondary elements are disrupted, the visual effect can easily become cluttered. So, how should one choose a lounge chair?
1. First, decide on the style of the sofa. After buying the sofa, consider the lounge chair. The order cannot be reversed.
The sofa occupies the most prominent position in the living room. When the hard furnishings of the living room are completed and you are ready to move on to the soft furnishings, you can first confirm the style of the sofa with the sofa manufacturer to see if it matches the home style. After determining the style of the sofa, then consider the style of the lounge chairs, whether they should match or be mixed and matched.
2. Choose a lightweight and stylish lounge chair or armchair.
Since the lounge chair or armchair matches the style of the living room sofa, there's no risk of mismatched styles. As long as both sets of sofas are in similar colors, a mistake is even less likely. However, this approach relies on having enough space, as not every living room can accommodate both a sofa and a lounge chair. In this case, careful selection of a rug or coffee table is necessary to fill visual gaps and prevent the space from appearing too empty or monotonous. Large rugs should be in the same color family as the sofa to avoid making the space feel too jarring; while smaller coffee tables can be chosen in complementary or contrasting colors to liven up the living room and fill any empty spaces.
3. The height should be similar to that of a sofa, not too much higher.
Pay attention to the height of the lounge chair and the sofa. Try to choose a lounge chair that is about the same height as or lower than the sofa. If you choose a lounge chair that is taller than the sofa, it will look like a crane standing among chickens, making the lounge chair overshadow the sofa and disrupting the visual effect, making the whole room look messy. Of course, if you particularly like a lounge chair, but it is much taller than the sofa, then make sure your living room is spacious enough and move the lounge chair as far away from the sofa as possible. This will reduce the visual discomfort to some extent.
