Are you struggling to find comfortable, luxurious living room furniture that won’t clash with your home’s traditional interior design style? Traditional furniture designs have often prioritized form over function, resulting in pieces that look lovely, but aren’t always comfortable to sit on — especially when relaxing after a long day of work, or settling in to enjoy a book or movie. On the other hand, luxury furniture that feels heavenly for your body has gained a reputation as looking bulky or boxy; leaving fans of traditional interior design to feel trapped choosing between comfort and aesthetic.Fortunately, designs for luxury furniture have come a long way. There are now a host of great options for traditional furniture that feels just as luxurious as it looks. Below, we highlight seven of our favorites.
What is Traditional Design?
The hallmarks of traditional design are elegant, sometimes ornate looks inspired by European designs of the 18th and 19th centuries. Traditional pieces often feature dark wood finishes and neutral colors accented with rich colors and patterns, including prints such as floral, plaid, paisley, or stripes. Subtle metallic accents also may be found in traditional decor. The overall look is calm and symmetrical, without surprising elements or jarring colors. Its pleasant predictability offers a serene, neutral atmosphere to living spaces.Here are seven of our best luxury pieces for your traditional living room:
1. Barcalounger Jefferson Sofa-Recliner
The Barcalounger Jefferson Sofa-Recliner features chenille upholstery with leather accents, brown mahogany legs, and an antique brass finish. The combination of sophisticated leather and charming antique brass elevates the elegance of any room. Coordinating accent pillows of paisley fabric are included — a gentle pattern that feels definitively traditional. This model is available as a one-seat recliner, a two-seat loveseat recliner, or a three-seat sofa recliner, so you can choose the amount of matching seating you desire for any size living room. Each seat offers powered reclining for easy use. This piece fits seamlessly into a traditional living room aesthetic while offering a luxurious haven for you to sink into at the end of a long day.
2. Barcalounger Premier Sofa Recliner
If you prefer a sleeker look over the soft textures of fabric, the Barcalounger Premier Sofa Recliner may fit your taste. It features dark brown, hand-rubbed leather and nailhead trim. While this regal piece maintains a sleek and poised appearance, its tactful down blend cushions offer the ultimate in comfortable seating. Similar to the Jefferson model, the Premier model comes in your choice of one, two, or three powered recliner seats. The back cushions are easily adjustable for maximum comfort while sitting. This sofa is dreamy to sit on, while not being overwhelming on the eyes.
3. Barcalounger Kendall II Recliner Chair
The Barcalounger Kendall II Recliner Chair offers two options: a manual-recline fabric model or a power-recline leather model. The best part is, at first glance you can’t even tell it’s a recliner. With your choice of ornate paisley fabric or fine leather — in dark or coffee brown — this chair has more than enough style to be a statement piece on its own. Each model features hand-carved mahogany legs, a button back, and nail-head accents. When it comes down to the business of comfort, just recline back, close your eyes, and ease the tension of the day away. The inner foam and padding make for a truly spa-like seat. This model’s classic design downplays its reclining features when in the upright position while offering the advanced comfort and support today’s technology has to offer.
4. Barcalounger Darcy Recliner
If you aren’t in the market for a statement piece, or already have one and need a luxury piece that allows your existing decor to shine, consider the Barcalounger Darcy Recliner. This chair’s refined look features smooth, chocolate-brown leather, and intricately carved wooden legs, providing an elegant asset to any traditional living room. Similarly to the Kendall II model, this chair’s reclining feature is not obvious when the chair is in its upright position, allowing it to fit in seamlessly with a traditional interior space. When you are ready to put your feet up, enjoy the cushioned seat and ample back support.
5. Barcalounger Regency II Rocker Recliner Chair
If you want a cozy recliner with a traditional design which rocks when in the upright position, take a look at the Barcalounger Regency II Rocker Recliner Chair. The chair features nail-head trim and is available in four different colors. You can choose between burgundy, metallic brown, or dark brown leather, or opt for gray cashmere fabric upholstery.
6. Barcalounger Charles II Recliner Chair
Add a touch of visual interest to your traditional living room with the classic patterned fabric and carved wooden legs of the Barcalounger Charles II Recliner Chair. The durable foam inside the cushions is topped with blended down feathers to enhance the chair’s old-fashioned feeling of softness without sacrificing support. This impressive piece also features padding on the back and sides for an overall feeling of plushness and luxury.
7. Catnapper Ramsey 4857 Power Lift Recliner
Perhaps the best blend of traditional style and modern features can be found in the Catnapper Ramsey 4857 Power Lift Recliner Lay Out Recliner with Heat and Massage. This advanced recliner lifts and lowers by remote control, gently bringing the user to a standing or sitting position without physical strain. It also includes heat and massage features to relax the user and ease aches and pains. The chair fully reclines to a flat position so you can lay out if desired. With all these advanced features, the chair still holds true to an elegant and traditional aesthetic with padded leather and a tasteful nailhead trim.These are just seven pieces we love, but there are many more to choose from to suit your exact comfort needs and stylistic preferences.
