Are you planning to buy a bean bag chair, but don't know how to match it with your other furniture? Are you having a hard time choosing a colour, fabric, shape, and a size that is perfect for the room you are going to put it in?
Don't worry because we will help you with that! We will talk about how to style different rooms using bean bag chairs for a more contemporary look.
1. Measure your space and determine the placement
Two things you need to do first is measure the amount of space you have for the bean bag chair and where you're planning to place it. Measuring the space and identifying the placement of the bean bag chair is essential for you to decide on how much space you have for the bean bags you want.2. Think about the colour palette
Now that you have an idea of space and what designs might suit, you will need to think about the colour and type of fabric of the bean bag chair.
When it comes to interior designing, there is something called the 60-30-10 rule:
60% - this is the main colour of the room
30% - this is the second colour scheme
10% - and this will be the accent colour
How does this rule apply? For instance, 60% of your room is white (walls, doors, windows, rug, sofa, etc) while 30% is neutral (floor, entertainment unit, dining set, etc) and the 10% is one or different shades of a colour (throws, wall decorations, center-piece, artwork, etc). That will help you determine, which of our colours will compliment your existing colours.
3. How about the fabric?
If you plan to use the bean bag chair indoors, it is best to choose a bean bag made of faux leather, cotton, soft polyester, or corduroy. These fabrics are often used in furniture because they are proven durable and soft. They are also easy to clean.
However, if you want to use the bean bag chair outdoors, it is best to buy a bean bag chair that is made of Olefin because these types of fabric are durable against natural elements and can last for several years. They also have UV protection and are stain, mould & mildew resistant, and are easy to clean, too!
4. Decide what shape to get
Bean bags have different shapes - triangles, squares, round, raised-back, and armchairs. and they also have different purposes.- Triangle and Round - reading, work-from-home, gaming
- Square - perfect for camping or chit-chat
- Raised-back - because of the back support it gives, it is perfect for relaxation
- Arm-chair - reading, watching movies
5. Be creative
After following the steps mentioned above, it's time to design the surroundings of the bean bag chair. You can put photos or artwork on the walls or a matching ottoman or little timber side table next to your bean bag chair. Throws or blankets can also be placed for a more cozy look.There you go!
