How to arrange a relaxation zone in the living room with armchairs?

The relaxation zone in the living room is not only a comfortable sofa or a corner sofa set in front of the TV. It is also created by other, extremely comfortable furniture, thanks to which the interior gains a cozy atmosphere and is even more conducive to relaxation - alone or surrounded by loved ones. A practical solution is to designate a relaxation corner in the living room. Thanks to this, each household member will find the perfect place for themselves, where they will feel comfortable, read calmly or listen to music. Therefore, an elegant relaxation armchair adapted to the needs of users and the style of arrangement will come in handy. In this article, we suggest how to arrange a relaxation corner for little money, where to place it, and what accessories to reach for.

Why is it worth creating a relaxation zone in the living room?

The arrangement of a relaxation corner is a ready recipe for a warm atmosphere at home, away from everyday duties, stressful work and the hustle and bustle of the city. A properly arranged space has a positive effect on well-being and even promotes creativity. This is where we spend time with family and friends, "recharge batteries" after a whole day, and also indulge in reading and watching our favorite series.

This is a unique place in many ways, providing safety, giving a moment of respite from everyday worries. Properly arranged, it will please the eye with a fashionable appearance, wrap the body in soft textiles, entice with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and sweet pastries.

Armchairs as the basis of a relaxation zone - what to choose?

All furniture for the relaxation zone should first and foremost meet the needs of the household. It is no different with armchairs. In our shop you will find a wide selection of models in various colors and styles. Here are some elegant proposals that fit into the most fashionable trends.

Wing chair, rocking chair, bucket chair

Do you like sitting in an armchair while reading or watching TV? Opt for a classic wing chair, which is one of the most universal models available on the market. It gained popularity in the 19th century and has reigned supreme in living rooms, bedrooms and children's rooms ever since. Its characteristic feature is a high backrest with rounded edges, which were once intended to protect against the cold of underheated, 19th-century homes. High legs add lightness to it, and a deep seat guarantees comfort when sitting in your favourite position. The wing chair matches many interior design trends, so you can easily fit it into the decor of your relaxation zone.

Rocking models are also an interesting option. You can choose a classic armchair made of wood, wicker or rattan. It will look perfect in a living room decorated in the spirit of boho, eco, japandi, rustic, but not only. It will also perfectly complement the classic arrangement of a room dominated by natural finishing materials and accessories. You can also choose modern rocking chairs covered with high-quality upholstery. Decorative stitching and quilting add character to the furniture, and the possibility of rocking in a comfortable seat makes this type of furniture unmatched.

Upholstery: soft fabrics, velvet, boucle

When choosing an armchair for the living area, match it to the style and color scheme of the room, and above all to your own preferences. You can choose a model covered with leather (natural or artificial) or opt for a soft, pleasant-to-touch upholstery fabric, such as velour or corduroy. Currently, lounge furniture upholstered with light boucle material with a looped, dense structure is very popular - extremely pleasant to the touch, providing warmth on cold days. Boucle surfaces are resistant to abrasion and other mechanical damage. They perfectly match interiors inspired by Scandinavian, Japandi, eco, boho or soft loft aesthetics.

Models with footrest, headrest and relaxation function

The right conditions for peaceful rest have a beneficial effect on the regeneration of the body, soothe the senses, and calm the mind. It is therefore worth spending a little time designing a corner with a comfortable armchair, footstool or side table, on which you can place a stylish lamp, put a cup or a book. One of the proposals of our store is the modern PASARO armchair with an adjustable headrest and the option of extending the seat. The furniture provides a comfortable seat, and after unfolding it allows you to take a comfortable semi-reclining position. The gray upholstery perfectly matches the metal legs. In this collection you will also find corner sofas and pouffes with storage.

Where is the best place to place armchairs in the living room?

There are at least a few possibilities here. If the living room is small, a relaxation corner with an armchair in the main role can be arranged directly in the TV area, right next to the sofa. Another option is to place the furniture in a more secluded and quiet place: by the fireplace, by the window, in the corner of the room, under the stairs. You can also place the armchair by a bookcase. It will then complement the home library.

What to combine armchairs with in the relaxation area?

Side table - for books, coffee, decorations

When relaxing in an armchair, we are often accompanied by a book, a phone or a cup of our favourite tea. It is good to have a place to put small items, so a small side table on high legs or a stylish console will come in handy. They are practical and aesthetic at the same time. On the top of the furniture, you can display fresh flowers, a scented candle, decorative ceramics or souvenirs from your trip.

Floor and table lamps - atmospheric lighting

It is hard to imagine a reading nook without proper lighting. The best solution here will be a floor lamp, a standing lamp or a wall sconce with adjustable light intensity. We can choose from timeless models with elegant lampshades, woven lampshades, jute lampshades, rattan lampshades and other natural materials. Floor lamps with two or three reflectors are also fashionable, as well as classic glass models on a wooden or metal base. Such spot lighting creates a pleasant atmosphere, illuminates a specific part of the space (for example, a book), and allows you to relax after a whole day.

Carpet - defining space and adding warmth

On the floor, right next to the armchair, spread a rug that will create a cozy atmosphere and at the same time outline the boundary of the relaxation zone. Depending on your aesthetic preferences, you can choose a round model made of natural materials (including sea grass, jute) or a rug with an interesting pattern (geometric, plant, Moroccan clover, etc.). This will emphasize the style of the room. Also remember to maintain consistency in the arrangement. Let the living room decor create a harmonious whole.

Relaxation area in a small living room - how to fit it in?

A wide selection of living room furniture means that you can easily arrange even the smallest living room, finding space for a sofa, coffee table and reading chair. What solutions will work well in a small space?

Compact armchairs with low backrest

An impressive wing chair can overwhelm the arrangement, so a smaller armchair with a low or adjustable backrest will look great in a small space. It is worth choosing a light, not too wide model that will fit in a tight room and, if necessary, can be moved from place to place. Give up a massive piece of furniture with wide armrests. You can, however, decide on an armchair with a footrest, acting as an additional seat.

Folding models or 2-in-1 armchair (with sleeping function)

A comfortable living room armchair is one that provides optimal conditions for relaxation and allows you to adjust its layout to the individual preferences of the user. It is no wonder that folding models, often offering a sleeping function, are among the most comfortable lounge furniture. An example is the SAFIR armchair with an electric folding system and a USB port. While relaxing, you can charge your phone or other device. You can comfortably take a nap or immerse yourself in reading.

Colors and style - how to match armchairs to the decor?

Bright armchairs for a small living room will optically brighten the space and add lightness to it. They will help avoid the effect of overwhelming the decor. The elegant SELVA B model in a shade of light beige will work great here. The sides of the furniture are decorated with geometric stitching, and the high legs are made of chrome-colored metal. The armchair will be a refined decoration of a living room inspired by the aesthetics of glamour, the Hamptons, modern classic and art deco.

Upholstery in intense colours will work great as an eye-catching accent. Armchairs in shades of bottle green, mustard, sage, navy blue or burgundy are fashionable. Models upholstered in patterned fabric with flowers (English style), houndstooth or checks (ideal option for a classic living room) are also worthy of attention.

In an arrangement maintained in the spirit of retro, boho and vintage, the TALES armchair with rounded shapes, stitching on the backrest and black legs will look great. In projects with elements of glamour, on the other hand, lounge furniture covered with velvet fabric, equipped with elegant decorations in the form of gold legs and dense quilting are welcome.

Armchairs for reading, talking or listening to music - what to choose?

The choice should be dictated primarily by practical considerations. In a coffee corner, you might need not one, but two comfortable armchairs, conducive to long conversations with friends. Bookworms will probably like a model with a deeper seat and soft armrests, which you can lean on freely while reading. A piece of furniture with an adjustable headrest and footrest will be perfect for listening to music. And which proposal is closest to you?

Deep armchairs with soft seat

These types of living room armchairs are the most popular due to their versatility. Sitting in them is pure pleasure. You can comfortably pull up your legs, lean against the side of the armchair or sink into the soft backrest with a warm blanket and a cup of tea. The construction of this type of furniture consists of, among other things, filling. These can be springs, highly elastic foam, latex, polyester fibers, or even feathers. Some pouffes and bean bags additionally use polystyrene granulate. However, if you do not know what type of filling to choose, feel free to choose a combination of springs and polyurethane foam. Comfort guaranteed!

Models with soothing rocking

A rocking chair for the living room is a great solution when you want to provide yourself and your loved ones with a soothing rest in the privacy of your home. Pleasant rocking calms you down, reduces stress, and allows you to escape reality for a moment. Rocking chairs can be used in living rooms, children's rooms, and bedrooms.
