Stylish Chaise Sofas

Today's chaise sofas are light years removed from their Victorian ancestor the fainting couch. These sofas merged with casual chaise lounges make for a great alternative to your standard mix of sofa, loveseat and upholstered arm chairs.

Available in wide array of upholstery, like leather, velvet, twill and ultra-suede, these updated pieces also come in many styles from traditional to contemporary. So as to fit different room configurations chaise sofas are offered in right arm chaise and left arm chaise models.

The Jackson Sofa from Room and Board is a great modern choice. Its sleek straight lines give way to comfortable overstuffed cushions with detailed stitching. The Jackson is a perfect example of how modern seating can break from the stereotypical idea that modern furniture is cold and uncomfortable. This one is could be called stylishly comfortable. Perhaps it leads a double life, modern center of attention by day and warm cozy lounge by evening.

Van Gogh Designs Jane Chaise Lounger

Van Gogh would have surely loved this chic chaise lounger which boasts his name. Plush and curvy, this traditional chaise with a modern edge looks terrific in a rich warm cheetah print. Use in the bedroom for curling up with the one you love or in the living room with a good book. The quality construction is supported by a durable hardwood frame with a sinuous spring design.

Stylishly speaking it takes only a little bit of animal print to make a big impact, so leave the cheetah to the chaise to make your statement. Many fine homes can be found furnished with a hint of animal print here and there. What do you think of this style?

Random Fact: The American term “chaise lounge” is an erroneous English translation from the French term “chaise longue”. It has been so widely misused that it has become accepted as correct terminology even appearing as so in the English dictionaries.
