Stay in your easy chair and join the legions of homeowners who are rediscovering the familiar comforts of home! With the advent of large-screened televisions and in-home movie rooms, home has truly become the “in” place to be after a stressful day at the office.
Today’s furniture reflects society’s desire to “stay put” with deeper, more comfortable seats, extra-long lengths and lots of pillows. Even those who prefer the traditional styling of a wing chair will find wider, better-shaped chairs with cushioned backs among today’s choices.
Of course, in these days that spawned the term, “couch potato,” it’s important to provide the appropriate “couch!” The home furnishings industry is making generously proportioned furniture designed to envelop, comfort and relax weary bodies. Oversized sofas and sectionals with extra cushions that feel like down – without the hassle – truly fit the bill.
Need a place to put up your feet? A club chair – or chair and a half with ottoman afford just the right comfort to rest those weary bones at the end of the day. And in the bedroom, a chaise lounge, beautifully upholstered in a chenille burn out fabric, will truly provide a pampered feeling for all who recline there.
The comfort and security of today’s sumptuous furniture offers an antidote to today’s high tech, fast paced society.
