Find the Right Lounge

The lounge is the life blood of a home's main living space. It is the place we fall onto after a long day at work and the place we gather when friends come to visit. Because of this, choosing the right style for your living area is important for giving a good impression.

Finding a comfortable piece that suits the room is essential. A lounge that is too small will seem dwarfed in large rooms, while a huge lounge in a small space can have the opposite effect. Pattern choice is another important decision that can change the feel of the room, remember that large patterns look best on large furniture, advised My Home Mag. It's also important when buying a lounge to pay attention to your filling. Down is the most luxurious and lasts longest, but is the most expensive when compared to polyurethane fillers. And finally, always be picky with the material. If you have kids or pets, avoid pale colours and try to invest in a non-absorbent material such as leather to give your lounge a longer life.
