Solid wood is a classic way to create a distinguished opulent look and feel in a room, but not the only way, as this brown chaise lounger proves so well.

The cherry finished legs are beautiful but they are not that dominant in the overall look. What makes this piece of furniture so luxurious is the very shape of the chaise lounger - inviting for a single person to put his or her feet up and relax in peace.

The color is important too, brown as wood, it’s both soothing and masculine at the same time, making this lounger a perfect choice for offices and waiting rooms, as well as a more official living room. It could also work well in a more masculine bedroom, but don’t be afraid to soften it a little with a nice warm throw, ready to be wrapped around some lucky person’s shoulders.

And if you think a lounger is not functional enough, keep in mind that this one hides plenty of storage room there too, right under that seat.

Santa Fe style, also known as American Southwest, has a unique and very trendy look and feel to it. Think about it. This decorating style combines Native American and Spanish influences with the original American colonial style. So much history enveloped in this one sentence. So much variety in this one style.

Decorating a la Santa Fe can be a challenge. Characterized by bright colors, Native American patterns and designs and rough-hewn furniture, this style can be daunting to attempt at home without the help of a professional.

What you could do is start with a single item like this one:

This crafted solid oak and 100% leather recliner is part of the Santa Fe Collection by Coaster Furniture. It is very softcore Santa Fe though. While it will fit in perfectly with a Southwest themed room, it is rather tame and can fit into many other decor styles too (as demonstrated in this picture). A good idea would be to start with a piece like this recliner, then gradually add more Santa Fe touches around it. Think Navajo rugs and some bright fabrics and decor items, and you’ll be heading in the right direction: Southwest.

This feminine vanity stool can easily fit into a bedroom, that much is clear. But why not think outside the box and use its romantic elegant touch elsewhere. How about next to your phone station, in the hall, or maybe in your home office? Its taupe top is soothing and relaxing on the eye, and can blend in easily with most color scheme, especially those with pink or purple touches.

Of course, you can always combine it with a romantic vanity for a harmonious look. Watch out and carefully match the rest of the room decor, to avoid a mushy look and keep it elegant.

Beanbags seating can be a challenge to fit into your home decor. If you love comfort, and who doesn’t, they certainly can be tempting. Nothing quite like dropping yourself into the hug of a big soft beanbag. In terms of period style, they belong to the decades of the 1960’s and early 1970’s, when they were first introduced into the home decor arena. Later, in the mid-90’s they made a huge comeback, and remain as popular today.

When it comes to using beanbags as furniture, keeping home design issues in mind, you ought to go with a well designed seat. Take this one for example. Technically, it’s not even a beanbag, and the makers call it the beanless bag, because it saves you the hassle of dealing with the bits and pieces of the shredded polyurethane foam. In terms of your room design and style, a bean bag it is, only with better form and style.

You can use this as seating in any living room, usually alongside a different, more formal set. Take a careful look at your color scheme, as you are dealing with a fairly large blotch of color in the middle of your room. Alternatively, this beanless bag can be used outdoors, in your patio (it’s upholstered with heavy-duty laminated material for that purpose).  Use your imagination and use this item wisely, as it can add a lot of form and function to your room design.
