THE ELEGANCE LOBBY
Ever walk into a lounge and feel… confused?
Where do I sit? Is that art or furniture?
Welcome to the wonderful world of lounge design!
Designing a sitting area isn’t just about chairs.
It’s about creating a space that screams “sit here!”
But, let’s be honest—it doesn’t always go smoothly.
Here’s what not to do:
- Place one chair in the middle (awkward!)
- Add 37 pillows (seriously, where do we sit?)
- Install a chandelier at forehead level (ouch!)
- Make everything beige… like, everything.
Instead, let’s focus on making lounges usable!
Spaces should feel like a warm hug—not a cold maze.
Comfort first, style second—don’t fight me on this.
The perfect lounge:
You don’t want to leave… but you also do.
(Just to brag about how comfy it was.)
Lounge design: it’s an art…
And sometimes a comedy.
