This time of year it is all about spending time with friends and family! Create the ultimate hangout space this holiday season with comfortable seating plus creative storage solutions that celebrate your style. It is perfect for an after-school spot for your friends, movie night and sleepovers. Here are five easy steps to create a perfect lounge.
Step 1: Find a spot
If you don’t have an entire room you can dedicate to the lounge, try sectioning off a corner of a larger room — or get creative and utilize an attic space or part of the basement.
Step 2: Have a seat
The most important element of a lounge is super-comfortable seating. Complement a primary seat — like a sofa or sectional — with smaller pieces like loungers or beanbags. Also consider adding a futon or sleeper sofa that doubles as a bed — it’s the perfect solution for sleepovers.
Step 3: Add some storage
Try a media console designed to organize and store controls, gaming equipment and more. Low-to-the-ground tables are great for stowing away additional lounge must-haves like books and magazines. Instead of traditional side tables, try a couple of trunks — plenty of interior storage will keep the space clutter free.
Step 4: Keep it cozy
Sleepovers by the Christmas tree are a must! Keep warm sleeping bags by the tree. They ‘ll keep you cozy at all times and are so easy to store!
Step 5: The finishing touches
Add a few accessories to complete the space. Throw pillows, blankets and ottomans will help keep you comfortable, while a tray, mini fridge or cooler keeps snacks close at hand.
