No matter if it’s snuggling beneath the stars with someone special or hosting an impromptu dinner party on weeknight, having the right porch chair set helps you live your best outdoor life.
Start with love seats and chairs on either end of your porch to create comfortable socializing and reading areas. A lounge chair and ottoman will work if space is at a premium.
1. Loveseat
A loveseat is a small couch designed to seat two people comfortably. It comes in various styles and fabrics; leather being the most commonly seen. Some features that differentiate it from sofas include armrests, reclining seats and having a lower profile.
Loveseats were originally designed as courting benches, but today are loved by couples of all types – married or not! Additionally, they’re great choices for smaller spaces that want a cozy spot to gather with friends without taking up too much floor space with traditional sofas.
Loveseats offer an easy way to fit more chairs on the front porch furniture set-up, giving Suzanne Kasler an inviting area where friends could gather. Suzanne used two loveseats, lounge chairs, and an ottoman for this project.
After measuring your desired location for a new loveseat, take careful note to ensure it fits seamlessly within the space without dominating the room. Next, shop around for one that fulfills both your style and needs; for added durability consider one with a lifetime warranty that offers protection from damages to ensure longevity of ownership.
When placing your loveseat, it is essential to consider its placement relative to the focal point of the room. Ideally, try and place it perpendicularly to an architectural feature like a fireplace or other architectural element so as to accentuate and make more inviting your seating area.
If you want a spot to relax and unwind on your loveseat, adding a rocking chair or glider may help. These types of seats feature an evenly balanced back-to-front movement which creates a soothing swaying motion. They’re also great for families with young children or pets because they offer more stability than other forms of seating.
If you have a larger space, sectionals could be another suitable seating solution. These pieces of seating are intended to seat three or more individuals at once and can be configured into various configurations to meet the needs of your room.
2. Lounge Chair
A lounge chair, commonly known as a chaise lounge, elevates feet for added reclining comfort and can be found both inside the home and outdoors with removable waterproof cushions for outdoor use.
Lounge chairs offer more relaxation than other chair types and typically range in seat height from 12.5″-17″ (32-43 cm). They’re great for spaces like living rooms, reading rooms and bedrooms where relaxing often occurs – or as statement pieces in public lobbies and reception spaces.
Lounge chairs make an excellent addition to a porch chair set and provide seating for conversation. Contemporary options for lounge chairs may include wicker chairs with clean lines and sleek silhouettes or modern metal-framed loungers featuring fade-resistant outdoor fabrics such as Tropitone’s FIT modular collection which blends traditional with contemporary design elements allowing users to create the ideal social environment and personalize the chair to meet their specific needs.
3. Ottoman
An ottoman is an ideal way to add extra comfort to an outdoor lounge chair set. Kick up your feet and relax while reading, sipping wine or conversing with friends on it – or use it as an additional seating solution when entertaining guests. It may even double up as a coffee table!
