How to Measure for Modular Lounges

Modular lounges are a popular choice in Perth homes, as they offer fantastic flexibility. You can configure your lounge to suit your room dimensions and characteristics, providing more seating capacity while delivering a stylish look. However, although modular lounges are flexible, you still need to ensure that your new lounge will fit your room properly. So, here we’ll explore how to measure for your new modular lounge.

 Initial Considerations

 Before making a final purchase decision or arranging delivery, there are some factors you need to consider. You not only need to assess the space where your new lounge will be placed, but also every space that it will need to pass through to get to its final location. You’ll need to account for any doorways, staircases or hallways. These are typically the most problematic areas when moving furniture and remember that if your lounge will need to be taken up stairs, you’ll need to measure the lowest point of your staircase between the ceiling and the stairs. If you have tight spaces, you will need to let your delivery team know, so they can ensure that your new lounge can be moved without causing damage.

 Measure Up

 You’ll need accurate measurements of any modular lounges you’re considering, and generally, you should take two sets, one with all the cushions in place to demonstrate how the new couch will sit in your home and a second set without any removable cushions to gauge the frame height.

First, measure the height of the lounge. Measure from the highest point, which is generally the back and middle of the lounge. You will then need to measure the width of the lounge from arm to arm. Bear in mind that if your model has rolled arms, you’ll need to ensure you measure from the widest point. Next take a measure of the depth, from the outside edges of the seats to the very back. Finally, measure the diagonal depth of the modular lounge from the top back to the bottom front of the frame.

Once you’ve determined these measurements, you’ll be able to verify whether a particular lounge will work in your room. So, keep a note of these dimensions when you start shopping.

 Final Considerations

 Finally, you need to think about the specific configuration that will work best in your room. The fantastic advantage of modular lounges is that you can configure one to suit your room dimensions. This means that you can have a two, three or four seater couch with or without a chaise to provide ample seating. Additionally, you can add further modules to expand your couch as and when you need them. This means that even if you move home or welcome a new addition to your family, you won’t need to completely upgrade your furniture.

  If you’re thinking about modular lounges, Perth based Chaise Sofas is here to help. We have a fantastic choice of sofas, suites and modular lounges to suit any home. You’ll also find the Chaise Sofas sales staff ready to answer any questions to help you to find the ideal model for your home.

How to Welcome Leather Lounge Suites into Your Home

Leather sofa suites are an excellent option for any home. While the first thing you want to do is get comfy, there are a few things you should keep in mind to welcome your new lounge into your home.

 Prepare For Your Delivery

 Before you purchased your new lounge, you’re likely to have measured the space to ensure it will fit. Hopefully, you’ll have checked your doorways and entrances to ensure that it can be carried in, but you still need to prepare for the delivery. Clear out the area where your new lounge will be located, and if the entryway is restricted, it is a good idea to move any items such as tables or wall art to create a little extra space. You’ll need to let your delivery team know if there are any tricky situations such as staircases, lifts or tight corners that will need to be navigated, so the delivery team can be prepared.

Bear in mind that it is a good idea to position leather lounge suites out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and keep it at least 50 centimetres away from heat sources.

 Organize Your Old Sofa

 If you’re planning on rehoming your old sofa, you should organise this before your delivery date. The last thing you want to have to deal with is trying to move your old sofa as the delivery truck is pulling up to your home. Organise removing your old sofa once your delivery date is locked in, so you’re not left without somewhere to get comfy.

Avoid Sharp Tools

 Once your new lounge is located, you’ll need to remove the protective wrapping. Even if the wrapping is very snug, avoid using sharp tools that could damage the leather.

 Lift From the Base

 While you can direct your delivery team to place your new lounge in the right spot, if you do need to move it you need to lift from the base. Don’t be tempted to move your new lounge by dragging it or trying to lift it by the cushions attached to the frame. This is likely to cause damage, and you could risk an injury.

Remember Creases Will Relax

 One of the most common issues with leather sofa suites is that there are creases. This can be very disappointing when your brand new lounge has just been delivered. However, it is worth remembering that these creases will relax. Any creasing on the arms and cushions are likely to be a result of the protective packaging that is securely wrapped around the lounge. These creases are not usually permanent and will often work their way out naturally over the coming weeks. You may also notice that the leather feels a little different from the showroom model, but the leather will also soften, just remember to use the seating equally to ensure the cushions evenly soften.

 If you’re considering lounge suites, you need look no further than Chaise Sofas. We offer a fantastic array of sofa suites and couches. You’ll also find our sales staff ready to answer any queries to help you to find the perfect model for your home.

Why Choose Leather Lounge Suites?

We have seen an amazing variety of leather sofas in Perth and with good reason. Leather offers some fantastic benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Here we explore why you should give leather lounge suites some serious consideration.

 Fantastic Durability

 Leather lounge suites are built to offer great longevity, with a typical lifespan of up to 15 years. In fact, leather sofas are like a fine wine, getting better with age. The more a leather sofa is sat on, the more comfortable and softer it will feel. These anti aging properties provide a massive advantage, so you won’t need to even contemplate sofa shopping again for years. However, leather can be vulnerable to scratching, so watch those pet claws.

 Ease of Cleaning

 The smooth, soft surface means that leather lounges are resistant to stains and dirt. Any spills can be easily wiped away, and hair or dirt brushes straight off. When leather is properly cared for, it is almost effortless to maintain, making it an excellent option for busy households, particularly with small children.

 Classic Appeal

 Whether you’re creating a traditional look or a more modern aesthetic, leather lounge suites can add a touch of elegance and sophistication. While the shape of your new sofa may vary, leather provides a classic appeal for most types of room. This means that you don’t need to worry about your new sofa going out of style and needing to be updated every time you refresh your decor.

Temperature Sensitive

 In different weather conditions, it can take a little time to get used to how a leather sofa feels. Leather can be a little chilly in winter, but the material does warm up after a couple of minutes. If the thought of this bothers you, you may prefer a bonded leather sofa. Bonded leather provides the aesthetics of leather, but since bonded leather is made using a variety of materials, it is less temperature sensitive. This means you won’t get a cold shock in winter or find your bare arms or legs sticking in summer.

An Investment in Your Home

 Just like buying a great appliance, a leather lounge is a great investment in your home. Although leather may be more costly than other materials, the durability, ease of care and stunning aesthetics, it is an investment for your future comfort. A good company will also support their sofa range with a warranty, so you can have even more confidence in your new purchase.

 If you’re shopping for leather sofas in Perth, you should call in and see us. We have an impressive range of sofas including a number of leather lounge suites. You’ll also find the Chaise Sofas team ready to answer any questions to help you find your ideal new sofa.

The Benefits of Bonded Leather Sofas

When shopping for leather lounge suites, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the choice of styles and colours, but did you give any thought to the specific material. Bonded leather has become increasingly popular in recent years, offering some fantastic benefits for your new sofa.

  Stylish Finish

 One of the main benefits of bonded leather sofas is that they offer the same stylish finish available with genuine leather. Bonded leather looks sophisticated and stylish to complement any decor. Whether you are planning a traditional or contemporary look to your room, you’ll find that a bonded leather sofa can provide an attractive and elegant centerpiece.

 Unrivalled Comfort

 Bonded leather lounge suites also offer unrivalled comfort. The material is soft and supple, creating a welcoming aesthetic. Regardless of whether you enjoy sitting up straight to read or slouching during movie night, you’ll find these types of sofas will provide the support and comfort you’re looking for.

 Easy Care

 Bonded leather not only attractive, it is also easy care. This material is very durable and easy to clean. Whether you have small children prone to making sticky messes or have guests who may cause the occasional spill, a quick wipe with a damp cloth can resolve almost any issue. Even if you don’t get to a sticky spill immediately, you’ll find it far easier to clean compared to fabric or other materials.

 No Stickiness

 Most of us have experienced that uncomfortable feeling when you go to get up off a leather sofa and find your legs are stuck to the fabric. This is not likely to happen with a bonded leather sofa. Bonded leather is created using a number of components including nylon fibres. This is designed to offer optimum softness and texture, but it also removes the stick factor of pure leather.

 No Hot and Cold Extremes

 You may also notice that bonded leather sofas do not retain temperatures. One of the main disadvantages of a leather suite is that can feel hot and uncomfortable in summer and freezing cold in winter. While the leather will warm up as you are sitting on it, that initial contact can feel like sinking into a bath of ice water. Bonded leather doesn’t have these same extremes. You’re more likely to find that bonded leather sofas have a temperature that is very similar to the ambient room temperature; making it far more comfortable at all times of the year.

 If you’re looking for leather sofas in Perth, the Chaise Sofas team is ready to help. We offer a wide choice of leather lounge suites and bonded leather sofas. We would be delighted to answer any queries you may have and help you to find your ideal new sofa.

Sofas Perth

We all have a pretty firm grip on what a sofa is, right? I mean, how tricky can it get? Don’t be

fooled: like dogs, sofas come in all shapes and sizes, and knowing what you’re looking for is half the battle!

As one of the premier destinations for sofas in Perth, WA, we thought it only fair that we share a little of our knowledge with you. So, here’s out handy Field Guide to the Sofas of Perth.

The Classic Couch

There’s something so reassuringly familiar about the good ol’ couch. Usually appearing in its cozy two-seater and classic three-seater forms, this kind of couch has seen countless families through the good times and the hard times. Identify it by its long, comfy seat, sturdy back, and big arms at either end. Nothing beats the classics.

The Corner Lounge Suite

It’s a twist (or should we say bend?) on the classic couch. The corner suite is designed to hug the walls of your living area and maximise your seating space. With the 90 degree turn, it’s also a great social seat, with guests able to face each other for comfortable conversations.

The Chaise Lounge

The chaise lounge takes inspiration from the classic chaise longue, which you might recognise as the classic therapist’s recline (so how do you feel about that?). These days, the chaise lounge takes the form of a modified corner suite, with the back of one arm falling away to allow for space to comfortably accommodate stretching out your legs. And it’s our namesake!

The Ottoman

Ah, the ottoman. The lost puppy of the sofa kingdom, and in many ways it's best kept secret.

Ottomans are the perfect companion to almost any lounge suite, providing a fantastically versatile platform. Is it a foot stool? Yes! Is it a coffee table? Yes! Is it a seat in it’s own right? You bet it is. The ottoman is limited only by your imagination.

The Sofa Bed

We’ve got a crazy idea. Stop us if you’ve heard of it before. What if a sofa could transform into a bed? Oh, you have heard of it? No surprise, since the sofa bed is one of last century’s most important inventions (right alongside the space shuttle and nuclear power, or should that be TV and smartphone?). The sofa bed’s economical and compact design has seen it sleep millions of surprise guests, and it ain’t stopping anytime soon.

So now that you’ve got a handle on the basic styles of sofa, you’re ready to shop! Looking around for a great deal on a cheap sofa in Perth? Might we introduce ourselves? For five years, Chaise Sofas has been helping Perth families find their new sofas without breaking the bank. We’re now shipping Australia wide, so check out our range online today!

The Solo Sofa Bed

It’s no news that a futon style sofa bed can be the ideal solution to a tight space. They’re fast becoming the go-to choice for young professionals living in small apartments. If you’re thinking about making the change and purchasing your first futon sofa bed, there are a few points to mull over first. When considered properly, a sofa bed can be a genius addition to a tight studio apartment, giving you both a comfy night's sleep and a cozy entertaining space for friends and family any time you need it.

Luck favours the prepared though so don’t be tempted to rush out as soon as you see there is a sofa sale.  Here's our checklist of questions to gear you up for your sofa bed transition:

What size is right for your space?

If your living room is just too tiny to fit a traditional lounge suite or even a chaise sofa then a single-sleeper sofa bed might be right up your alley. A few sofa beds come in double or queen sizes, but never assume! If your sofa bed is a size-conscious decision, make sure your choice makes the most of what's available. Measure up at home before you hit the shops.

Identity crisis: is it a sofa, or is it a bed?

Think about how you'll be using your sofa bed. Is it going to spend most of its time folded up as a couch, ready to host your next Netflix binge? Or is it going to be left open as a bed, ready to catch you when you drag yourself in the door every afternoon? Make sure your sofa bed is designed to look good and function well for its primary use - some sofa beds are only designed to accept the occasional sleepover and won't take every day use.

Is it a stylish choice?

Last but not least: is your sofa a good match for your home decor? Your home is your sanctuary, and keeping it beautiful is all a part of keeping yourself happy and comfortable day-to-day. Pick out a sofa bed that will be comfortable as well as easy on the eye, and you might have just found yourself the perfect housemate. Pay attention to the details, and consider which type of sofa bed will look best in your space: pull-outs can have unsightly frames which make them unsuitable as primary beds, but fold-down adjustable beds often make an equally attractive bed as a sofa.

Whatever your reason, a futon sofa bed can be a great help in maximising your living space, and Chaise Sofas have got one of the finest range of sofa beds in Perth. Come and visit us in our Bayswater showroom, or check out the range online, and let us help you to sleep easy!

Shopping for Lounge Furniture? Perth Expert Advice for the Right Configuration

If you are shopping for lounge furniture, Perth WA buyers often find themselves a little overwhelmed. The main cause of consternation is what configuration you should choose, two sofas or a sofa with two chairs? Fortunately, this debate should not stop you buying your new furniture, Perth CBD based Chaise Sofas is here to help.

The Appeal of a Sofa With Two Chairs:

A sofa with two chairs is a classic lounge arrangement. It can provide a spacious furniture setting with the flexibility to provide seating if you have lots of company. You can also enjoy an afternoon nap on the sofa or a quiet time to yourself in a chair. If you want to create additional sleeping space, you could add a sofa bed. This means that even if you don’t have a massive living space, you can always move the chairs to create the bed space. However, this arrangement can cause family arguments if one person tends to hog the sofa to stretch out, while everyone else is left on the chairs.

The Benefits of Two Sofas:

An arrangement of two sofas is also a common choice for furniture. Perth homeowners may enjoy the benefit of the masses of seating potential offered by two sofas. Additionally, you can mix things up a little with your sofa combination. You are not stuck with two three seaters, as you can mix and match two and three seaters along with a loveseat or even a chaise. However, some people may struggle to accommodate two sofas in their rooms, and there may not be possible to rearrange the furniture in your room if you fancy a change.

Other Options:

Of course, there are other options. If you are struggling to decide the right configuration for your new furniture, you may want to consider a modular lounge. This type of sofa can be tailored to suit your preferences and room dimensions, with the flexibility to add more sections if they are needed in the future. You can create any shape of lounge, so you can have chaise sections attached to your couch, so two people can spread out in comfort.

Making the Choice:

If you are still struggling to decide the type of sofa arrangement you would like in your home, you should speak to the Chaise Sofas team. Make a note of your room dimensions, and our sales team would be happy to take some time to work out the options that would be perfect in your home.

Shopping for Leather Lounges; Perth Buyers Need to Know A Few Things

Leather lounge suites are likely to be the most expensive and central pieces in your living area. This means that it is vital that you choose the right model. There are leather couches available in a wide variety of styles and sizes, so before you start serious shopping, there are a few things you should know.

The Basics:

The first thing about shopping for leather lounges Perth buyers need to consider are the basics. You are likely to want your new lounge to last between five and ten years, so you need to not only think about aesthetics but functionality. You need to think about how many people there are in your home, if there are children or pets and whether this is likely to change in the coming years. You should also establish whether you will want to move your lounge, so if it should be as light as possible. All of these factors will not only affect the size and shape of your lounge, but also the choice of fabric.

Shape and Size:

When you start shopping for leather couches and lounges, you are likely to find that there is a myriad of choices in a variety of shapes and sizes. This means that you will need to have an idea of the shape and size you need for your home. You should carry a note of your room dimensions along with any room features that may impact your lounge. Some people take this one step further by creating a little diagram of their room so that they can check there will be enough room to walk around the new furniture comfortably.

Material:

The choice of material is often linked to your budget, but you should still be aware of the characteristics and potential drawbacks of each material to make an informed choice. For example, fabric is usually the cheapest option, but it can be vulnerable to staining and spills. Leather is more durable, but it is usually three or four times more expensive. A good compromise is bonded leather, which provides the durability and aesthetics of leather without a massive price tag.

Personal Preferences:

Finally, you need to have a discussion with your significant other to determine your personal preferences. It is a good idea to have this chat at home rather than in the middle of a furniture showroom. If one of you has particularly strong preferences, you can avoid a heated debate in public if you know in advance.

If you are looking to buy lounges, Perth shoppers should visit us. At Chaise Sofas, we have a range of leather lounges Perth buyers will love. Our showroom team is also ready to answer any queries you have about our leather lounge suites.

The Benefits of Charcoal Sofa Beds Perth Buyers Should Know

If you are shopping for adjustable sofa beds, it is very easy to overlook charcoal models. With the range of brightly coloured sofa beds online, charcoal can appear a little dull, but it actually offers a number of great benefits, adding visual interest and versatility to your decor theme.

Neutral & Versatile:

One of the main benefits of charcoal sofa beds, Perth buyers should be aware of is that they are incredibly versatile. Charcoal is a mixture of black and white, so it is a very natural hue. Since there is no specific undertone of colour, it will not clash with any colours, allowing it to be used in any colour scheme. Charcoal can also make some colours such as black, white and red really pop as they appear more vivid and bold.

Immune to Colour Changes:

Even with the best sofa bed deals, a new piece is still a significant investment. This means that if you want to change the colour scheme of your decor, you may be faced with a difficult choice of whether you should replace your sofa bed or adjust your colour choices. However, the flexibility of a charcoal sofa bed means that you can redecorate with any colour of your choice. Charcoal goes well with both bright and cooler colours. Cooler colours can often become a little lost with neutral furniture, so if you have a brighter colour scheme and a beige sofa bed, you could be stuck with yellows, pinks, reds, and oranges. However, even though your charcoal sofa bed looks great with these colours, it will also look fantastic with a purple, blue or green decor theme.

It Can Pull Colours Together:

Charcoal not only works well with individual colours, but it can also pull various colours together into a cohesive decor theme. This shade of grey allows you to use darker colours, along with splashes of bolder colours as they are blended instead of standing apart. Whether you want to include a bold patterned rug or wild artwork, the charcoal grey will complement the colours and make them seem like an integral component of your overall theme.

Creating a Soft Background:

Soft colours such as white, beige and grey can be an excellent foundation for many decor themes. From cottage styles to chic, contemporary looks, a soft background can prevent your look from becoming prissy. This makes it an ideal choice for a sofa bed in your guest room or children’s bedroom. The soft background created by charcoal adjustable sofa beds will allow you to create a tranquil environment to encourage rest and relaxation.

If you are looking for sofa beds, Perth based Chaise Sofas is ready to help. We have a fantastic selection of sofa bed deals, and our showroom team is on hand to answer your queries and questions.

Complementing Your New White Couch With Your Decor

If you are considering new couches, Perth sale events are usually packed with options. However, many people often overlook some fantastic models, simply because they are white or light coloured. Although a white sofa may appear higher maintenance, they can add elegance to your decor, making the room feel brighter and cleaner. So, here are a few decorating ideas to complement a white couch, to help you to make your purchase decision.

Use Colour and Tones:

Although many people want to create that showroom feel with white couches for sale, Perth homeowners may find that this can look stark and cold. To create the best look, you need to consider colour and tones. Accessorise your new white couch with brighter coloured cushions or if you want a more subtle look, use different tones of whites and creams to add depth to your decor. When looking at couches, Perth sale events may even have great deals on accessories, so keep an eye out for a bargain.

Add White Curtains:

While injecting colour can compliment your new white couch, adding white curtains to your room can showcase the piece. This white theme is usually not too overwhelming as you can use different textures and fabrics for your window covering to keep things interesting. Your choice of curtains can also help to correct the appearance of any room characteristics you are not happy with. For example, long, floor reaching curtains can create an appearance of taller walls for low ceiling rooms.

Choose the Right Coffee Table:

A coffee table is an essential item for many living rooms, and it can be particularly effective if you have a white couch. Your choice of coffee table will depend on the design aesthetic you are trying to achieve. If you want to keep a neutral theme, a glass coffee table can be both attractive and functional. However, if you are trying to create a contrasting theme, dark wood or a bold colour can also look fantastic.

Don’t Forget Wall Decoration:

Many people overlook the dramatic impact artwork can have on the overall decor of a room. When you have a white couch, it can be very easy for your design to look unfinished or bland if you neglect your wall decoration. Whether you opt for a large piece of artwork or a myriad of framed family photographs, you will need to consider how they complement the look. If you want to keep a monotone design, you could frame black and white photographs or stick to black and white art.

If you are interested in leather couches, Perth based Chaise Sofas is here to help. We have a diverse range of models including modular couches, sofas, and chairs. The Chaise Sofas team is also ready to answer any queries you have about couches, Perth sale events, and special offers.

How to Choose a Table for Living and Dining Packages

If you want to ensure that your everyday living furniture suits your home and your specific requirements, you need to choose the right table. Even if your family doesn't eat all their meals at the table, the wrong size or shape of table can compromise the space and flow of your living area. So, here is a guide to choosing the right table for your home.

Selecting Living and Dining Packages:

The most important aspect of choosing living and dining packages is to measure your space. There is no point in buying dining packages, furniture and accessories if you don’t have the space in your room. Many packages will include additional items beyond the basic table and chairs, so measure your space carefully to ensure that you can make the best use of this everyday living furniture.

The Right Shape of Table:

Dining tables are available in a range of sizes and shapes. Many people make the mistake of only considering how many people can be seated at the table, rather than considering the implications of the shape of the table. The most common shape of table is the rectangle. This allows for a person to be seated at the head and foot of the table, while more can be placed on each side. This shape of table can also be one of the most flexible. If space is limited, or you need to create some temporary space, you can place the table with one side against the wall to maximise space. Rectangular tables tend to work best in rooms that are longer and narrower. So, you need to be careful to ensure that the width of your room provides enough space for people to sit on either side and get up from the table comfortably.

Round tables provide a more intimate dining experience and are well suited to smaller rooms and corners. A round table can conserve floor space without losing seating space since there are no corners. It can also be handy if you have small children and you are concerned about little heads bumping on sharp corners. You can also enjoy a similar aesthetic with an oval table. This provides an increased seating capacity but also has the elegant softer edges.

Finally, there are square tables that are helpful for smaller spaces. However, some people find them a challenge, as the larger the table, the more difficult it is to reach the centre if you are sharing food.

The Table Size:

Finally, you need to consider the size of table. Think about the number of people who typically dine together and the overall room size. Ideally, there should be room to create a path around the table even if all the chairs are pulled out. This saves the annoying shuffle if someone tucked in a corner needs to leave the table during the meal.

Leather Chairs: Perth Guide to Creating an Accent Chair

While there are many cheap sofa chairs around, they may not be the right piece to create an accent chair in your home. An accent chair is more than just additional seating if you have extra guests in your home. It is placed in a strategy position in the room to make a statement in your overall decor. This means that it doesn’t need to match your sofa and can be used to complement the aesthetics of your design.

Characteristics of an Accent Chair:

When it comes to leather chairs, Perth homeowners often assume that their choice needs to match the style of their sofa. However, this is not the case, and your chair can be used to create an accent of style. Providing your choice of chair ties into your overall decor theme, anything goes. This means that you can opt for a low back club chair, even if you have a more traditional style lounge. Additionally, you can use your accent chair to create a dramatic contrast. For example, if you have a cream leather lounge, then why not go for a black leather or suede chair. The primary characteristic of an accent chair is their design aesthetic. This means that you can tailor your choice to suit your preferences and personal style.

Mix and Match:

Since accent chairs don’t need to be uniform with your lounge or sofa, you can get creative and mix and match. You can take advantage of special offers and cheap arm chairs online to create your look. Providing the overall colour and style matches your decor theme, any choice should work. You can even get daring with a bold printed chair to create a stark contrast with the sleek design of your contemporary sofa.

The conventional choice for an accent chair is a leather club, but don’t let this influence you. If you prefer a high backed upholstered chair, go for it. You can even tie in different textures and fabrics, by adding a matching cushion to your main lounge.

Create Functionality:

An accent chair that is only ever used for the occasional guest is a rather sad and lonely piece of furniture. However, you can avoid this by creating functionality with your choice of chair. Why not create a reading nook in the corner of your family room with an accent chair and ottoman. Add a bookshelf and a lamp; you have created a haven where you get to relax and be drawn into your fictional world.

If you are seeking leather chairs, Perth consumers should visit us. We offer a fantastic balance of quality and cheap sofa chairs. Although there are lots of cheap armchairs online, our product range offers the assurance of great craftsmanship and stylish designs. Additionally, the Chaise Sofas team is ready to address any concerns or queries you may have.

5 Uses for Cushions, Perth Decor Lovers Should Know

From every colour of the rainbow and black to white, scatter cushions can be a versatile way to enhance your decor. While many people use cushions to make their sofa look even more comfortable and cosy, this is selling the humble cushion short. So, here are five uses for cushions, Perth WA decor lovers should know.

On Your Couch:

While many people may place one or two on their couch, this is not making the most use of cushions. Perth design wannabes will find that they can create a stylish and comfortable statement by making better use of their cushions. There is no need to stick to just square cushions. By varying the size, shape, and texture of the cushions on your couch, you can showcase this central piece of furniture to make a statement in your decor.

On Your Bed:

While you have pillows you can sleep on; cushions can be used to add a splash of colour to your decor and help you to feel comfortable when you are propped up in bed. Whether you are enjoying breakfast in bed, or are just enjoying a lazy day, you can feel supported and comfortable.

On the Floor:

If you have additional guests around for the evening, there is not necessarily any need to have extra chairs on hand. You can create a comfortable seating area with oversized cushions. It is a good idea to choose hardier fabrics in darker, bright colours to keep them looking good, but using floor cushions can make a real statement in your living room.

In Your Reading Chair:

A comfortable chair by a window or under a lamp is the ideal spot to enjoy a good book. However, if you want to totally relax, you are going to need a couple of cushions. A cushion for back support and one or two for that curl up and snuggle feeling can help you to melt into the fantasy world of whatever book you are reading.

Play Areas:

Kids tend to enjoy playing on the floor. They can spread out their toys and create an expansive world to let their imagination run wild. This can be enhanced with the right cushions. There are lots of kid friendly cushions, from different shapes to wild colours, but even basic square cushions can create a fun play area. Even better, if you have cushions around, you will be more inclined to get down on the floor for some fun interaction.

Cushions can be a fantastic way to add a splash of colour or some contrast in your decor. White scatter cushions may appear a little dull, but add them to a dark colour scheme, and you immediately create a dramatic effect. So, if you are interested in enhancing your decor with cushions, Perth design lovers should visit us. We have a diverse selection of cushions in a range of fabrics, textures, and styles. The Chaise Sofas team is also on hand to answer your queries or questions.

Tips for Showcasing a Suede Lounge in a Large Living Space

Suede lounge suites can look stunning, but if you have a particularly large living space, you may find that it gets a little lost. Even a large sofa can look dwarfed if you have a vast open space, and this can compromise the overall aesthetic of your stunning new piece. Fortunately, there are some clever ways to furnish your space and showcase your new lounge. So, if you want to avoid your family room looking like a museum, take note of this tips and tricks.

Identify the Main Area:

In a big room, it can be tempting to try to make the entire space your living area. This means setting your new suede lounge as far back as possible. While this may appear sensible on paper, in reality, it means that the room will feel cold and it will be impractical for those family nights in front of the tv. A better idea is to create areas within the room and define each space. The main area will be your living area, and this will allow you to gather your suede sofa with your ottoman and centre table to create a cosy and comfortable space.

Define Your Areas:

Once you have determined which areas of the room will be used for what purpose, you can define these areas. Use area rugs to define the perimeter of your main living area and create a sense of space. When choosing your accent pieces, consider using complementary, yet different items. For example, if you have a neutral coloured suede lounge, you can choose practically any colour and design. However, although you can swap your pieces around as you choose, you can use them to define the areas. For example, if you have striped cushions on your suede lounge suites, consider polka dots or another pattern on any dining chairs or club chairs you have in reading areas. This will help to keep the focus on your main living area and showcase your lounge.

Fill in the Blanks:

Although you don’t need to fill every centimetre of the space, if you have an unused area, it can appear blank, compromising the flow of the room. For example, corners and areas under windows can often look a little stark. However, fill in these blanks and use these spaces to create unique features for your room. For example, a club chair and an ottoman beside a window creates the perfect spot for reading.

Use Light:

Finally, you need to consider the lighting of your room. You can showcase your fabulous furniture with layered lighting. This means using a variety of lighting techniques to complete your look. Consider dimmers on your main light for cosier evenings, but don’t overlook the importance of lamps. They can add diffuse light and be a stylish feature to complement your lounge.

Essentials For Cheap Lounges Perth Buyers Should Consider

These days, there are so many bargains to be had. Everywhere you look, it is easy to find special deals and offers. However, before you make an impulse buy of a cheap sofa, there are some essentials you need to consider. This could help you to avoid buyers regret and making a costly mistake.

Consider Size First:

The first consideration of any sofa or lounge should be the size rather than the price. Before seriously considering any sofa for sale, you need to know whether it is the correct size for your space. Even if you have a bigger room, size is still an essential consideration. After all, if you buy a sofa that is too small, it is likely to look silly in a massive room. Take measurements and keep a note of them with you. Use your existing sofa or lounge as a guide to determine if you need a slightly bigger or smaller unit.

Consider the Shape:

This point is more than just deciding whether you want a standard sofa or an L shaped lounge. You also need to assess whether you prefer a more rounded shape to your sofa or a squarer look. Many contemporary models have a squarer back and arms, but rounded models have a softer look. Much of this decision will be personal preference, but it is also important to consider your existing furniture and what shape would complement these best.

Think About Its Use:

When considering cheap lounges, Perth shoppers also need to think about how it will be used. Do you want the lounge in your main living area? This will mean that it is likely to be used for a myriad of functions. It needs to be comfortable enough to relax and watch tv, but also durable enough to cope with heavy and everyday use. Do you need a flexible seating area that can also be used as a guest bed? If you rarely have guests, there is not much point in having a full sofabed incorporated into your lounge. A better idea is to have a chaise. This can be used to relax in the evenings and double up as an emergency bed.

Assess the Material:

Lounges are available in a diverse variety of fabrics and materials, so you will need to determine which is the best option for you. While aesthetics are important, functionality is also essential. While you may love the look of a white suede, plush sofa, this type of beautiful piece is unlikely to stand up to the rigours of family life. Leather and heavier fabrics can be fairly easy clean and can generally wear well with age.

Top Tips to Keep Lounge Suites in Showroom Condition

When considering lounge suites for sale, consumers often worry about whether they will be able to maintain the showroom appearance of the item. Some pieces of furniture such as a white leather lounge can be particularly troublesome, particularly if you have young children who may be prone to spills. Fortunately, it is possible to keep your lounge looking fantastic with these top tips.

Regular Cleaning:

Just like your flooring or coffee table, it is important that lounge suites are regularly cleaned to keep them looking great. Depending on your lounge material, you may need special products to ensure it is kept clean. However, in many cases, a slightly damp cloth can work wonders. This will remove any surface dust or debris without damaging the fabric. If there are stubborn crumbs or tight corners on your lounge, use a soft brush to lift them from the fabric. Avoid trying to use your nail to get out that stubborn crumb, as their is a risk that you could rip the fabric, particularly soft leather.

Move Position:

Although lounge suites can be large items of furniture, it is important that it is moved. Keeping it in the same position in your room may mean that only one side or area is exposed to sunlight, which can cause patchy fading. UV rays can not only discolour fabrics but can also cause leather to dry out. If possible, try to rotate the orientation of your lounge periodically and swap any seat cushions around, so you don’t get stubborn indentations. If your lounge cannot be moved, consider drawing the curtains or lowering the blinds during the hottest parts of the day to minimise sun damage.

Condition Leather:

If you have a leather lounge, it is also important that it is regularly conditioned. As leather ages, it can be prone to drying out, particularly if it is placed near to a window. Fortunately, you can minimise this damage and keep your lounge in showroom condition with regular care. Leather conditioner products are readily available and can moisturise the material to keep it soft and supple. This will help to avoid the cracks and creases caused by drying out. Just be sure to follow the product instructions carefully and test the product on an inconspicuous place before treating the entire lounge.

Don’t Forget Your Accessories:

Finally, don’t forget that the condition of your accessories can compromise the aesthetics of your lounge. Keep cushions washed and clean, rugs vacuumed and any other accessories neat and tidy for a fantastic showroom look.
