The comfort zone: Comfortable interiors

I believe that the planning of a space cannot only rely on practicality while ignoring style, nor can it be vise versa. Comfort and beauty should harmoniously coexist. Like William Morris once said “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” I am truly convinced that our surroundings influence our beings and if we put in our homes only what we love based on comfort and functionality beauty will reveal itself.  After all, having a warm, comfortably functional and beautiful home to come back to at the end of a long and hectic day, is what we all covet.  Don’t take me wrong, if I could afford a Claude Lalanne chair I’ll maybe purchase one but I’ll first make sure I have enough space to enjoy it more like a displayed chic piece of furniture rather than an everyday-use one. These spaces below are chic without sacrificing comfort.  Indeed comfortable interiors.

This room designed by Miles Redd has lots of pillows for the owners and guests to rest their back and upholstered furniture to provide comfort as well, the lacquered walls and orange coffee table bring in that chic factor.

Robert Couturier used a very comfortable couch and a very chic cocktail table as contrast in Frederic Fekkai and wife’s living room.
