Welcome to the Seating Roundup 2023. Over the last year we have completed projects which have all been very different from each other in terms of design. It’s what I truly love about what I do.. it’s all the same and yet all so different.
I love working with new looks and finishes on every project. Every blank slate we begin with has so many endless possibilities. I feel like I begin every project with a blind fold on, feeling my way around. I am guided by my own instincts and experience when it comes to the layout and functionality of the design. But the look and feel of the home is largely guided by the clients.
They lead. I follow. And the end result is an efficient and beautiful home. It is also very different in vibe from the previous and the next one I will design, because I will have different people guiding me there!
Seating Roundup 2023
What doesn’t change from home to home though, is comfortable seating. Whatever the style, design or vibe you need comfortable seating to make a comfortable home.
Since the homes we’ve completed over the last year are of different vibes, we have used a range of seating options that are also in various styles. Which means the seating roundup 2023 offers you a whole lot of options in a many different design genres. There’s a lot to choose from!
Sofas
By far the largest seating furniture in any home, a sofa is usually the beginning point of our furniture selection in any living room. Let’s take a look at all the wonderful sofas we used this year.
Alexis
I love the vertical tufting pattern on this one. You can use the plainest, simplest upholstery and still have it look rich and plush thanks to it.

Shamiana
With the distinct gap between the back and the seat, it’s very easy to use two different fabrics on this sofa. The clean, simple lines also mean that you can go really heavy on the print and still have it looking lovely.

Bespoke Leather Sofa
Simple, straight lines, stylish legs and that luxurious feel with the leatherette.. this sofa is the subtle, sophisticated piece that balances all the bold prints around it.

Daniel Chaise
When you want to fit in as much seating in a smaller space, a chaise or a bench is a great option. This contemporary piece certainly helped us augment the seating of this living room.

Accent Chairs
Single seats that are comfortable to sit on, yet not as bulky as sofas… I prefer pairing different accent chairs with sofas rather than going for a matching single seater sofa.
Amelia Wing Chair
We had only one single chair facing the extra large, 4 seater sectional. The large, stylish Amelia balanced it perfectly.

Roma Armchair
The scenario here is completely opposite. We have a smaller living room where we required ample seating. Though large and comfortable, the all curved silhouette of these chairs makes them look much lighter on the eye.

Kenneth
Love the drama added by the criss-crossing legs of this one!

Pi Accent Chair
You’d never guess how little the space near the bed is because this chair is so sleek and light. It is really comfortable too.

Single Sofa Chair
If, like me, you like crossing your legs when you sit, you’re going to love these chairs. They are wide and deep and just perfect for this. We also picked these for their low back. Since the TV is behind them, they don’t obstruct the television view from the sofa in front.

Swings
Just the thought of having a swing in the home fills me with a child like glee. When they are as beautiful as what you’re going to see, it’s a double delight!
Macrame Swing
White braids, long tassels and the delicate frame… this is as sweet and pretty as it can ever get. I can also vouch for it’s comfort.

Wooden Two Seater Swing
Sturdy in solid wood, with a slender frame that keeps it easy on the eye. This one is great for apartment living!

Dining Chairs and Benches
Next, let’s move to the dining area in our seating roundup 2023.
Aster Dining Chairs
Just the woody vibes we wanted for this slightly rustic, bohemian and very classy dining area.

Paul Wood Sofa
This compact sofa worked perfectly in this set up to make a comfortable dining bench.

Vale Dining Chair
Since this living room does not have too much seating, we selected dining chairs with comfortable backs and arms that can easily be pulled into the living room to augment the seating there.

Dahlia Fabric Chair
This dining ‘set’ has a special place in my heart because it isn’t a ‘set’ at all. It’s an eclectic mix of different pieces from different sources and I love how it’s come together so well. ‘Dahlia’ are the two chairs at the heads of the table. The beautiful curves and carving go well with the jharokhas and pendant lights and help add ornamentation into the dining ‘set’.

Cinema Chair
With all the heavy ornamentation all around, we were looking for lighter seating along the two sides of the dining table. Love how this one fits in.

Cinema Chaise
Considering all the different elements that have come together around this dining table, we thought we’ll go matchy-matchy with the chairs and the bench along both sides. This chaise is light and comfortable and th perfect size for the table.

Open Back Chair
Straight and sturdy with that little gap between the seat and the back making all the difference!

Two Toned Dining Chairs
Though this dining space is less varied than the one above, we have used different chairs here. The ones on the end are a little bigger and higher backed than the ones on the side. We used the same two toned fabric style on both, with a printed pattern in the front and a matching solid colour at the back.

Let’s finally get some work done on our seating roundup 2023.
Puma Chair
Here’s a slender piece that adorns this small study area beautifully.

Wave Chair
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen me use this chair.. it certainly won’t be the last. With it’s high comfort, compact size and contemporary vibe that fits in with most design styles, this one is a winner all the way.

Curved Back Chair
Chairs with arms are difficult to slide under a table when not in use, because the arm hits the drawer and gets in the way. But having an arm on the chair is definitely more comfortable, especially when you have to use it for hours on end. I find these half arm chairs quite useful. They provide support to the back and part of the arm and also slide half way under the table so you can get them out of the way when not in use.

Bar Chairs
We picked chairs with a gold finished metal frame to go with the gold hardware in the kitchen. They are upholstered in leatherette for easy maintenance. It makes these chairs both functional and fabulous!

We chose a really simple design for this bar area because of all the ornamentation around it. The gold foot rest at the base helps tie it in with all the brassware around.

Here’s another pair of sleek and stylish bar stools. The bright blue upholstery on the seat makes them belong completely to this tropical blue bar.

Stools
Andy
A classic that you can’t go wrong with. We used a lovely textured white fabric on the stool to go with this all white space.

Rashaun
A leggy stool works for this narrow passageway, with the long legs giving it the least possible visual presence. We matched the legs of the stool to the legs of the sideboard.

Jute Stool
These jute stools have just the right kind of outdoorsy vibe for a balcony. I love how the black adds vibrance to the space while the beige blends right in.

Outdoor Seating
I’ll end the seating roundup 2023 with a little bit of outdoor furniture.
Black and White Recliner
Honestly speaking, this isn’t completely an outdoor chair. The framework is in solid wood, while the wicker is synthetic, outdoor wicker. So though I wouldn’t place these in an open garden, we could safely use them in this balcony which has quite a deep overhang above.

Bondholmen
A large, relaxed two seater sofa that can be used just as easily without the cushions as with.
