When it comes to choosing the right seating for this space, there\u2019s an endless myriad of designs to choose from, including settees and chaises. So, what is a living room chaise<\/a>, and is it something you\u2019d want in your home? Read on to learn more about this modern and comfortable piece of furniture.<\/p>\n Chaises are very similar to sofas<\/a> and loveseats<\/a> in that they\u2019re upholstered seating furniture. However, a chaise is usually featured in the shape of a chair, but it\u2019s longer and designed for just one person. The purpose of a chaise is to give you a comfortable place to pop your legs up, lie down all the way, or simply if you want to\u00a0stretch out and relax. Many people enjoy placing a chaise in front of a large window so they can lie back and enjoy the view. Chaises are a great alternative to other furnishings like loveseats since they tend to have a slightly more refined, sophisticated look. The term chaise was first used in French interior design, and it still refers to any long, reclining chair. In fact, the word chaise means \u201clong chair\u201d in English. You can also find chaises attached to the end of sectionals, or they may be purchased individually as separate pieces of furniture. Ultimately, they\u2019re designed to make your living space look and feel more relaxing. You can sit upright on a chaise or lie all the way down and enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon nap if you prefer.<\/p>\n Chaises, also often referred to as chaise lounge chairs, first originated all the way back in the 16th<\/sup> century during the French Victorian era. The original chaise was also called a fainting couch. They were made by skilled furniture makers during the Rococo period, and most were found in wealthy households and homes. In fact, many people who had chaises viewed them as a status symbol, since they were usually made only for the wealthy. Chaise lounge chairs were commonly used as a daybed, where people could lie down and rest without having to go back to the bedroom. There were three main types of chaises then: the Duchesse Brisee, the Recamier, and the Meridienne. The Duchesse Brisee chaise consisted of a single chair and a long footstool or two chairs with a stool placed in between each chair. The Recamier chaise had two raised ends and nothing along the sides. It was named after the famous French society hostess Madame Recamier. The Meridienne chaise featured a reclining seat with a tall headrest and a lower footrest that was joined together by a sloping section.<\/p>\n You won\u2019t typically find chaises included with a living room set<\/a> like you would with sofas, sectionals, or loveseats. While all of this furniture is designed for sitting comfortably, sofas (and loveseats) are made for people to sit on them in an upright position. Your knees are bent, and your feet are positioned on the ground, but chaises are designed to help you sit back in a much more relaxed, reclined position. Your legs are usually straight in front of you and your feet are off the ground. However, you can also lie down on them on your side or in another comfortable position if you so choose. In terms of size, chaises are much smaller than sectionals and sofas. They typically consist of a single, long seat, while sofas are usually made up of several seats or seat cushions. Sofas, loveseats, and sectionals also usually have armrests on both sides, although some may come without\u00a0armrests. Most chaises only have one armrest and an open side on the opposite side. And unlike benches<\/a> which could have a back or be backless, chaises are designed for you to sit or lie down on by yourself, while benches are made for multiple people (if you need them to).<\/p>\n Now that we\u2019ve answered the question, what is a living room chaise, it\u2019s time to discuss how you can enjoy this stylish, comfortable furniture in your own home. One way to add a chaise lounge to your living space is to arrange it so that it helps to balance out the rest of your furniture. For example, if you have a smaller sofa or a loveseat, a chaise will help you keep everything visually balanced. You might not have room for a full-sized sofa, but a chaise can help you provide additional seating for guests. Chaises are great for adding extra seating in other rooms, too, including a guest bedroom<\/a> or a home office<\/a>. They\u2019re also ideal for apartments, townhomes, or condos where you may not have enough room for full-sized sectionals and sofas. You can also enjoy your new chaise to complement other pieces like ottomans<\/a> or storage cabinets<\/a>. Choose something in a similar style to help you create a cohesive look. This furniture also works with a sofa so you can transform a standard-sized sofa and turn it into s sectional. While many sectionals include a chaise, it\u2019s less common for sofas. This means you can instantly transform a smaller sofa into a sectional with just one chaise.<\/p>\n Once you discover just how stylish and comfortable chaises are, you\u2019ll be thrilled to add one to your living room, home office, or bedroom.
