5 Reasons to add a recliner lounge suite to your decor bucket list
May
You won’t have travelled long on your ‘adulting’ journey before realising a lounge suite is a must-have. (The dorm-room bean bag will, unfortunately, finally have to be tossed). Priorities in choosing a lounge suite will vary, but comfort and quality should never be compromised if you want to ‘have and hold’ for more than a few years. And with remote or hybrid models revolutionising our approach to work, you may not have the renovation budget to add a study to your home or apartment, but adding a recliner lounge suite – with multiple configurations and versatility – easily ranks as one of the best decor, budget and lifestyle investments you are likely to make.
We have been in the industry long enough to know that a recliner lounge suite is a firm South African favourite and we have spoken much of their contribution to the comfort of modern living.
Here’s our short list of why recliner lounge suites have such a glowing reputation in homes across the world:
(You will notice that we have gone the ‘reverse psychology’ route with our blog images to unequivocally hone in on why a recliner is such a functional and necessary furniture alternative). And because a picture speaks a thousand words, we have deliberately not made this blog too wordy! 😉
#1 Super-versatile configurations
Just had your bond approved for your first studio apartment or bachelor pad? Or perhaps you’ve climbed the property ladder and are now enjoying the convenience of two living areas. Whatever the context, recliner solutions should feature on your shopping list as they come in 1-seater, 2-seater, 3-seater., 5-seater and 6-seater configurations as well as corner units and home theatre options (for when you are really grown up). 😉 We believe sitting really close together on a couch should be a romantic decision and not because of space constraints.
#2 Undeniable comfort features
Multiple reclining levels for just putting your feet up, luxurious padding in all the right places, additional lumbar and neck support to just sit back and relax and convenient armrests – with optional storage compartments – make recliners a beloved and timeless go-to for any home. And from a WFH perspective, you can comfortably work on your laptop; positioning a recliner lounge suite as a legitimate excuse to ’lounge around’ and still get your work done.
#3 Ergonomic postural benefits
The hype around the health and postural benefits of recliners cannot be refuted. Need relief from muscle strain? Want to increase your blood flow and circulation? Struggling with lumbar and neck support when seated for long periods of time? Finding it difficult to arise from a couch because of its low height? The iconic recliner lounge suite options untick all these boxes.
#4 Unmatched relaxation options
A work-life balance always factors in periods of downtime, mindfulness and relaxation. From a marathon movie night with the girls, or the guys coming over to watch Formula 1, soccer, rugby, boxing or cricket to curling up with your favourite book or just taking a power nap, there is no piece of furniture that fits the bill better than a recliner.
#5 Long-term lifestyle solutions
The man cave may, over time, morph into the nursery. (Recliner chairs are the best for breastfeeding moms and snuggling with little ones). The ‘adult’ living room space is likely to evolve into the family room. (You will need to accommodate kids, friends and pets). The garage may need to be converted into a granny flat to accommodate ageing parents.
