numero uno: Churchill Reading Recliner via Restoration I wish I had a million dollars Hardware. this gorgeous beast wants me to sit in it. Now. I mean, I think I want need a recliner now too.
Now, I'm trying not to laugh while I look at this photo... but holy cow. Houston, I think we're more than ready for take off. I think I have an understanding about what men see in these relaxed pieces of furniture--- this looks like it could swallow me up in the best way.
Here's the non-leather option of the Churchill Upholstered Reading Recliner... it comes in an array of beautiful fabrics. I would love to curl up in this chunky, tufted recliner and re-read the Twilight series or the Hunger Games....
I actually really like the shape of this chair. It looks so inviting-- like, you'd be completely enveloped in comfort as soon as your little tail hit the seat.
And here's one more RH option called the Lancaster Leather Recliner. I like the club look of this chair. It definitely doesn't look like a recliner. I love the worn out leather-- it seems that this would be SUPER comfy. This chair is a bit of a lower profile-- so I think it could probably work in most spaces.
It looks super manly huh? I like it though. Just pop a soft and pretty throw blanket on top and then grab an anthropologie pillow to soften up the whole look of this piece.
This little guy is from West Elm and he's called the Sedgwick recliner. I like the small frame of this chair-- it definitely doesn't look "recliner-skank" to me. I particularly like the contrasting stitching on this chair. It's a nice detail.
And here he is in "lift-off" position. I really love how petite this chair is-- it's easy to see that it could work beautifully in a smaller space.
So, not ALL recliners are made equal... some are created in a non-skank-manner.... which I truly appreciate! I hope all of you abode lovers have a fabulous Tuesday!









What timing! I just finished a design for a client that wanted that chair but cheaper. I wanted to die, how do you do that? He wanted comfort, she wanted to not die at the sight of it. But I found one,,, it's not tufted but it is nice. http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/rutherford-recliner-chair-lounge?ID=475414&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results
ReplyDeleteThey are all very attractive. We have a leather recliner that resembles a modern club chair...but it's orange! Lol. We got it for a steal on Craigslist. The man would pick the first chair and I would prefer the last, of course. ;)

ReplyDeleteI really have not found a recliner that I love the look and function of. We have a tufted recliner that my husband loves. It does not look bad, but it is huge. It is tough finding the right combination.

Great options for the men in our lives! There's no way a barcalounger is coming even close to this house!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these recliners. I actually talked my {Lay-Z-Boy loving} hubby into one really similar to the middle one. He hated it. It didn't come up high enough in the back to support his head and we had to go back and get him a -dreaded- Lay-Z-Boy (yuk). But, he's happy, which I do like. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe first one looks like it might come up high enough in the back, but it's hard to tell -
I just thought I'd pass that along in case it helps anyone.

Hiya Laurel-Dawn!!! I tagged you in today's post... sorry if it makes you roll your eyes (I know most children of the 90's could cut someone if they ever see chain-mail again)... but who doesn't like to talk about themselves secretly? ANDDDD I'd love to get to know you better. Check it out :)

I like that Sedgwick. The others are too enormous for my taste, but I could see adding the Sedgwick to any number of rooms in our home. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat options! I have a dreaded lay-z-boy I am hoping to get rid of ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI totally get 'cha.
ReplyDeleteLove 'em! Do you know who makes that floor lamp pictured with the last two photos?

ReplyDeleteI hate our recliner. It is the "one thing" I will compromise with Adam about. One of these days when I am done furnishing my house, I am going to have you find me something nicer to go there though!
ReplyDeleteMy parents got a Lay z Boy reclining SOFA, so of course that's what my husband wants! I keep thinking if I find a chair instead, we'll be even. Wondering if anyone has tried the West Elm chair?
