But fear not! We’re here to help you make the perfect decision. So ask yourself these questions: What kind of space do you have, and how much room do you have for a lounge suite? Do you prefer a big, cosy armchair or a sleek and modern sofa? Or maybe you need something that can accommodate the entire family, like a big corner suite?

Once you have the answers, you can begin to narrow down your choices. And don’t forget; comfort is just as important as aesthetics – do you want something soft and plushy or something a little more firm? Whatever your priorities, there’s a perfect lounge suite out there for you.

What styles of lounge suites are available?

Choosing a lounge suite can be a daunting task. It’s a big investment, and you want to ensure you’re getting the most for your money. There are many different styles of lounge suites available to choose from. As a guide, some of the most popular styles are traditional, contemporary, mid-century modern, and sectional.

Traditional designs might feature rolled arms and deep-seated cushions in neutral tones like taupe or beige. Contemporary styles often have clean lines and bright colours like teal, grey, and yellow. Mid-century modern lounge suites typically incorporate simple geometric shapes, natural materials, and muted tones. Sectional or modular lounge suites are designed with interchangeable parts, allowing you to customise the size and shape of your suite to fit your living space.

What type of fabric should I choose for my lounge suite?

When choosing upholstery for a lounge suite, there are several important factors to consider. Firstly, consider the intended use; is this piece of furniture going to be used frequently or as an occasional piece? If the furniture is used frequently, choose a durable material such as leather, microfiber, suede, and performance fabrics. If the piece is for occasional use, you may want to opt for something softer and more luxurious such as velvet, chenille, or even silk.

Secondly, you should consider the look and feel that you want to achieve. If you are after a more classic aesthetic, consider materials such as wool, cotton, and linen. Materials such as velvet, microfiber, and leather are great options if you have a modern design.

Finally, consider the amount of maintenance required. Leather and microfiber are both low-maintenance materials, while velvet and silk require more frequent cleaning and protection.

By taking all these factors into account, you can find the perfect fabric for your lounge suite.

FAQ: What is the most durable lounge suite?

Let’s face it; nobody wants to replace their lounge suite every few years. You want something that will last, withstand wear and tear, and still look good after many years of use. So, what is the most durable lounge suite?

The answer is simple: leather. Yes, leather may be more expensive, but it’s an investment that is worth it in the long run. Leather is a tough, durable material that can withstand spills, scratches, and even the occasional cat claw. It’s also easy to clean and maintain, making it a great choice for those who want a low-maintenance sofa.

But, what if you aren’t a fan of leather? Well, as we’ve seen above, there are plenty of fabric options that are durable as well. Look for fabrics with a high rub count (the number of times the fabric can be rubbed before it starts to show wear) and tight weaves. Microfiber, for example, is a great option. It’s durable, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.

Living room furniture size guide

Let’s talk about size. The size of your lounge suite can make or break the look of your living room, so it’s important to get it right. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right size lounge suite for your space:

  • Measure your living room: Before you start shopping, measure your living room. You want to make sure you have enough space for your lounge suite without it feeling cramped.
  • Consider the shape of your lounge suite: Do you want a traditional L-shaped one or something more modular? The shape of your lounge suite can affect how it fits in your living room, so choose wisely.
  • Think about the scale of your other furniture: You want your lounge suite to be proportional to your other living room furniture. Large, chunky sofas alongside a lightweight glass coffee table may not work.

What is the most practical lounge suite for a family?

When selecting a lounge suite for a family, comfort should be your top priority. You want a piece of furniture that is both comfortable and durable. Look for a suite with deep-seated cushions, soft fabrics, and supportive back cushions. Sofas with recliners are a great option for family members who want to relax. If you have children, consider a suite with removable and washable covers.

When it comes to size, a sectional lounge suite is a great choice as it can be customised to fit any size of living space. This type of suite is also perfect for entertaining as it can be rearranged to accommodate more guests. Consider getting a suite with a chaise lounge, ottoman, or even a loveseat for added comfort.

How can you tell if a sofa is high quality?

When shopping for a high-quality lounge suite, look for pieces that are made with durable, quality materials. Choose a suite with a strong frame, sturdy legs, and well-crafted joints. Check that the cushions are filled with quality, high-density foam and are secured in place, so they do not sag or flatten.

Look for a suite made with robust fabric or leather that is both aesthetically pleasing and resilient to wear and tear. (And easy to clean!) Additionally, before buying a product, enquire about the manufacturer’s warranty, so you know what kind of protection you’ll have in case of any defects.

And, of course, be sure to shop at a store that you trust! (That’s us!)
