Living Room

Start by establishing a focal point—typically your sofa or entertainment center. Position lounge chairs strategically to create conversation zones, angling them slightly toward each other to encourage interaction. For balanced layouts, place swivel chairs opposite the sofa or in corners to maximize floor space. Layer with ottomans like our Camden model for flexible seating and visual interest.

Add coordinating throw pillows and blankets to tie colors together. If your room has neutral walls, choose statement chairs in bold colors as accent pieces. Ensure adequate lighting near each seating area—floor lamps beside lounge chairs create perfect reading spots. Leave 18-24 inches of walking space between furniture pieces for comfortable navigation.

The Norman Chenille Swivel Lounge Chair ($299.99) features premium upholstery ideal for daily use. The Adena Height Adjustable Chair ($99.99) is the best budget option that transitions between lounge and office use.

The Lumina Upholstered Lounge Chair ($99.99), currently on sale from $159.99, provides excellent back support and modern styling. All these models feature durable frames, comfortable cushioning, and contemporary designs that elevate any living room aesthetic while staying well under your budget.

Choose a swivel chair if you need versatile positioning, have an open-concept space where you watch TV from multiple angles, or have limited space. Models like our Gloria and Stella chairs offer 360-degree rotation perfect for dynamic living areas. Swivel chairs work best in contemporary settings and for those who frequently shift attention between different room areas.

Choose a rocking chair if you prioritize relaxation and stress relief, enjoy gentle motion while reading, or prefer traditional aesthetics. Our Chloe and Liam rocking chairs feature smooth gliding motions that soothe without requiring floor space for full recline mechanisms. Consider your lifestyle: active households with children might prefer sturdy swivel chairs, while those seeking meditation spaces may gravitate toward rocking chairs' therapeutic motion.

Leather lounge chairs (like our Saddle Leather and Napa Leather models) offer superior durability lasting 15-20 years, easy maintenance with spills wiping clean quickly, and luxurious appearance. They're better for households with pets, resist scratches and pet hair, and provide higher initial investment but better long-term value. However, they may feel cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Upholstered fabric chairs (chenille, boucle, sherpa) provide softer, cozier immediate feel with wider color and texture variety to match décor. They're more affordable with many options under $300 and offer better insulation in cold climates. However, they require more maintenance including regular vacuuming and spot cleaning. Best choice depends on your lifestyle, climate, budget, and aesthetic preferences.

For optimal comfort, maintain 18-24 inches of walkway space on at least one side for easy access, and 14-18 inches between the chair and coffee table for legroom. Rocking chairs need 3-4 feet in front to accommodate full rocking motion, while facing chairs should be 24-30 inches apart for comfortable conversation distance.

For room sizing: small living rooms (under 200 sq ft) work best with compact swivel chairs; medium rooms (200-350 sq ft) accommodate 2-3 lounge chairs plus sofa; large rooms (350+ sq ft) can create multiple seating zones. Swivel chairs require less clearance since they rotate in place—ideal for tighter spaces like our Adena and Henry models.

Select tables about 2/3 your sofa's length. Round tables improve traffic flow; rectangular suits longer sofas; irregular shapes make artistic statements. Consider storage needs—rotating tables and sunken desktop designs offer concealed organization.
