How to Choose the Ideal Lounge Chair for a Stylish Living Room

How to Choose the Ideal Lounge Chair for a Stylish Living Room

Your living room is more than a shared space — it’s where your home expresses itself. From morning coffee rituals to late-night conversations, the pieces you choose shape not only how the room looks, but how it feels to live in.

One of the most defining pieces in this space? The lounge chair.

A great lounge chair brings structure, personality, and comfort. It anchors corners, enhances balance, and offers moments of pause. At MOR Design, our collection is crafted with modern living in mind — where every curve, material, and silhouette is intentional.

If you're refreshing your living room or starting from scratch, here are four timeless lounge chairs to consider, each bringing a distinct character to your home.


1. Allay Lounge Chair

Organic form with architectural impact

Designed by Daniel Schofield, the Allay Chair blends sculptural strength with a soft, welcoming seat. Crafted in solid wood with curved, embracing lines, it's ideal for adding a grounding presence to your living room layout.

Whether you place it beside a coffee table or in a quiet reading nook, this lounge chair offers both comfort and conversation-worthy design.


2. Lisboa Lounge Chair

Lightweight elegance inspired by coastal living

Minimal yet warm, the Lisboa Lounge Chair is perfect for open-plan living rooms that favor natural tones and relaxed aesthetics. With its exposed wood frame and soft upholstery, it creates an inviting presence without visual clutter.

This lounge chair pairs beautifully with light-toned sofas, linen curtains, and soft lighting.


3. Alcantara Lounge Chair

Bold and sculptural, with timeless materials

For those who appreciate design with architectural roots, the Alcantara Chair by Álvaro Siza Vieira is a standout. Its leather seat and plywood frame deliver both visual weight and tactile quality — making it an instant focal point in any living room.

This is more than just a lounge chair — it’s a piece of design history.


Designing a Living Room Around the Lounge Chair

To truly elevate your living room, your lounge chair shouldn’t just be added—it should be integrated:

  • Create depth: Use it to layer the room’s layout by placing it opposite the sofa or near a side table.

  • Play with contrast: A dark-toned lounge chair in a light room creates instant visual interest.

  • Make it a zone: Turn it into a dedicated reading or reflection space with soft rugs and directional lighting.


Invest in Design That Lasts

When chosen with care, a lounge chair becomes more than just furniture—it becomes part of your daily rhythm. Whether you’re designing a calm retreat or a bold, modern living room, MOR Design offers pieces that age beautifully and feel meaningful over time.
