How to Choose a Lounge Suite

A lounge suite can make all the difference to your living room. Matching couches and chairs create a visually appealing look. Unlike mismatched furniture, a suite will not clash with other furniture. There are a few different options to consider - corner units, three-piece units and separate couches and chairs are the most common types of lounge suite. 

Choosing a Lounge Suite

How do you choose a lounge suite that is just right for your space? Let’s take a look...

Size

The size of your living room will play a huge role in the furniture you choose. A three-piece suite may end up making the room look too small if you do not have enough space to position the couch and chairs far away enough to avoid cramping. Corner units will often be a better choice in smaller rooms. As their name implies, they are made to fit into corners to take up less space. In a larger room, you will have more space to add a couch and one or more chairs. You may even want to include a corner unit, couch and chair if your living area is big enough for more seating.

Layout

You will also want to include the overall layout of the room. Where are your doorways situated? Are there any windows that may affect the way your furniture is positioned? Where is your TV placed? Does the room have enough access to walk through the lounge without bumping into things that are placed awkwardly? You can get a better idea of the layout of your living room by doing a few basic sketches on paper. This will help you decide whether couch and chairs are more practical or whether a corner unit makes more sense.

Style

Finally, you will want to consider the style of your living room and home. If you have a modern home with a contemporary kitchen and other rooms that also have a more sleek, modern style, you’ll want a suite that fits into this look. If you have a more classic home, you’ll want something simpler. If your home is eclectic, you’ll have a bit more choice in furniture. Style factors to consider include colour, fabric, design, and overall look.
