Is it time you splashed out on opulent furniture items for your living room? Below are a few different examples of luxurious furniture that could turn your humble living room into a lavish parlour.
Chesterfield sofa
Chesterfield sofas have been around since the 18th century. They consist of rolled arms and a low deep buttoned seat. While other traditional sofas have become too formal and dated, the chesterfield has retained a timeless elegance. They’re durable, incredibly comfortable and often hold their value (especially those upholstered by hand).
Marble coffee table
Coffee tables can be built from all kinds of materials. One material that is certain to make this centrepiece furniture stand out is marble. Because every slab of marble is different, every marble coffee table has its own unique character. Marble also naturally reflects light and is very durable.
Wingback armchair
The wingback armchair is a classic armchair design with a tall backrest and ‘wings’ either side (originally designed to protect the sitter from drafts). These armchairs offer comfort and class. They are ideal for reading nooks or for placing by a fireplace.
Mirrored side tables
If you’re looking for glamorous side tables, why not consider mirrored side tables? These tables reflect light to bring brightness to a living room, while also adding the illusion of space by giving off an almost see-through quality. You could opt for a side table with a mirrored surface, or one that is entirely mirrored.
Sectional sofa
Sectional sofas can be customised into different shapes and can be as long as you want. You can add arms either side, or remove the arms for a chaise lounge effect. Large sectional sofas can be fantastic for large households or homes that regularly entertain lots of guests – however you’ll need a large living room to accommodate such a sofa.
Antique chest coffee table
Add some whimsical history to your living room by turning an antique wooden chest into a coffee table. Such a coffee table will leave a striking impression and you can use it as storage. You may find such a chest at your local antique store. If not, you can shop for them online.
Media wall unit
Upgrade your TV stand to a built-in media wall unit. This is a storage unit with a square hole in the middle to position your TV. Such media units can be customised to include shelves for DVD libraries, drawers for accessories or even in-built surround sound speakers.
Hanging egg chair
Hanging egg chairs can be an outdoor or indoor form of furniture. Their round shape hugs the body, while their rocking motion makes them perfect for relaxing in or taking a nap in. They’re also a great conversation starter!
Velvet chaise lounge
The chaise lounge is an armchair-bed hybrid. They allow you to sit with your legs outstretched as if lying on a sunbed. Velvet is the most classic and luxurious material for chaise lounges. Just be wary that velvet is a high maintenance fabric and should be avoided if you have kids or pets.
Recliner sofa
A recliner sofa is a sofa with adjustable footrests (and sometimes headrests), allowing you to choose between sitting or lying. Recliners can be built into sectional sofas. You can also buy recliner sofas with cup holders that are great for watching movies in.
