Slouchy Beret

Slouchy Beret

If you can pronounce chaise longue correctly then the chances are you know one or two things about French furniture, and in particular how stunning French furniture looks. There’s nothing Scandinavian about it, with barely a straight edge or a ninety degree corner in sight. The French have always been known as an artistic and romantic nation, and nowhere is this more obvious than in their classic furniture.

The chaise longue is called that simply because there is no real equivalent elsewhere. The French designed it, and we’ve stuck with the name ever since. To be honest, chaise longue sounds a lot more appealing than long chair anyway. So many things in French do.

But anyway, getting back to the French furniture theme, if you’re looking at adding to or completing a French inspired room, whether a living room, bedroom, study or conservatory, it is one of the pieces of furniture which seems to span two categories of furniture in one go.

One the one hand it is a supremely useful and comfortable chair, allowing you to stretch out, lie down, sit up or slouch in any way you like or stretching out in the sun and reading your favourite book, perhaps with a cool Martini to hand.

But at the same time a chaise longue has a visual appeal that a simple straight forward chair or settee just doesn’t have. Perhaps it’s the lack of symmetry, the sweeping lines or just the fact that it is so, French.

But for a room that’s tipping the hat (or beret) towards French inspired design, a chaise longue is one of the best ways of completing the puzzle. You may have purchased French mirrors, chairs, chandeliers, armoires and so forth, and whilst all of these represent a beautiful and elegant look, it is often the chaise longue which turns a look or a style into a truly identifiable theme.

Take the step from elegant design to classic, romantic French inspired design simply by adding a chaise longue. Of course, the such an item itself provides opportunities for additional touches such as small scatter cushions. But one of the things that surprises a great many people when looking at buying one is the fact that today there is such a wide selection.

It’s easy to have a visual image of a chaise longue all white and gold and swirly, and such a truly beautiful piece of furniture is guaranteed to complement any classically decorated room.

But there are also modern, contemporary designs too, with clean, sleek lines, simple designs, and a whole range of fabrics and complementary details that provide a modern twist on a classic design.

It’s hard to imagine a chandelier being anything other than decadent classical elegance, and the same is true for the chaise longue. But whether you’re looking for a piece of furniture to lift or complete a classical, French inspired room such a an exquisitely romantic bedroom, or you’re looking for an item of furniture for a more modern, contemporary room in order to make a bold statement of class, style and strikingly good looks, then it’s well worth a look.

But be warned, because many people have purchased a chaise longue for appearances, only to discover just how temptingly comfortable and convenient it is, spending far longer than they intended reclined in luxury reading a favourite book rather than doing the ironing or vacuuming.
