Want: Every Home Needs One

There is quite a history to the 'chaise longue' (spelling correct), which translates to 'long chair', but I won't bore you with it....suffice it to say that the styling runs from Rococco to uber-modern and it's uses range from decorative to cozy to space bridging. Look around your home and see what could be swapped out or added to bring in a chaise...and go from merely having your feet up to utter repose

Bit of a velvet rope around this one, but what a focal point, especially in an industrial-chic interior

Serves as punctuation here...

...and as sculpture here
Lovely reading nook for a bedroom



When stretching out, add a bolster under your knees to keep them from hyper-extending




Bridges the room to serve as a perch for conversing with either side



As a room divider
