Why Chaise Lounges in Sydney are so Popular
Chaise lounges first appeared in France in the sixteenth century and were largely seen to be a status symbol for the wealthier members of the population. The fact that they’re still so popular today is due to their elegance, comfort and supreme practicality.
A chaise lounge was originally designed as a day bed so that people could relax through the day without having to return to their bedroom. Now they’re still perfect for providing relaxation and a chaise lounge in Sydney is a must-have for many households.
Chaise or Sofa in Sydney — What’s the Difference?
A chaise translates into English as simply a ‘long chair’ and that’s basically what it is. It’s designed for relaxing with a person leaning against a back at one end and with legs stretched out along an extended base. A chaise lounge will typically have a back and armrest at one end and then no sides running along its length.
Whereas a chaise lounge is essentially a chair that’s intended for one person, a sofa is designed for use by several occupants with an armrest at each end and a back running along its complete length. Sofas, therefore, tend to be longer than chaise lounges and may be available in two or more seater versions.
Chaise lounges come in different forms, ranging from a single chair with a long footstool to two chairs with a footstool between to a chaise with two raised ends. They’re also now available in contemporary and traditional styles so you can choose one that suits your room style and décor.
