Casual Seating Arrangements
Every home, office, restaurant, or hotel requires seating arrangements for its inhabitants and visitors. Though the furniture requirements for an office will be different from a restaurant, certain items are common. Irrespective of the room, certain forms of casual furniture and seating arrangements can be commonly used.
Cane Furniture
Furniture made out of cane is casual, yet classy. Cane chairs and sofas can be easily used in homes, hotel lobbies, hotel suites, or offices. They impart a natural look to the décor and can be easily moved around due to their light weight. Cane works wonderfully for a décor that epitomises nature and is often used in balconies and terraces.
Couches
These are probably the most comfortable seats for lounging around in; but, can also be effectively used in an office or hotel reception area. The couch becomes an envied seating location while on holiday and is often used for relaxing at home and in a hotel.
Bean Bags
Bean bags are ultra casual and are usually used in homes, in the den or children’s room. However, bean bags can be used in offices in the executive lounge area or even in the reception area for offices that are informal (e.g., film companies, advertising agencies, painter’s studio, etc).
Recliner
A recliner is a seat which raises the legs and places the body into a stretched-out position. Such recliners are usually used by the poolside in hotels, in spas or in homes. Recliners can be obtained in several forms. The quick dry variety used by the poolside and garden, or comfortable couch-like ones which may have a built-in massage system.
Floor Seating
A comfortable seating arrangement can be made on the floor using a rug/mat surrounded by large cushions to sit on. Additionally, a mattress can be laid out for additional seating space. This arrangement is best suited to homes, but may be used in hotels depending upon the interior designs.
A casual seating arrangement has no formal artefacts or accompaniments like tables and carpets. The flooring is often wood or tile and, at the most, a rug may be used to lend some colour. Tables, if used at all, are of an informal variety and are casually placed around the seating arrangement.
