How to Create an Instagram-Worthy Lounge Space with Velvet Lounge Chairs

In the world of interior design and social media, one thing is clear: your space should be as photogenic as it is functional. Whether you're styling a luxury home, an Airbnb, or an event venue, a velvet lounge chair can instantly elevate your interior. In this post, we’ll show you how to style an Instagram-worthy lounge corner that turns heads and racks up likes.

1. Start with the Chair as the Statement Piece

The lounge chair is the star — choose one with plush velvet upholstery, unique curves, and bold color. Our Clouds Cradle Lounge Chair is a top pick, thanks to its soft, cloud-like shape and aesthetic appeal. Place it near a light source for natural glow in photos.

2. Use Color Contrast to Catch Attention

Pair your chair with light or textured walls to create contrast. A red lounge chair pops against neutral tones, while gold or black lounge chairs shine next to white brick, marble, or soft pastels. Velvet reflects light — great for creating visual drama in photos.

3. Layer with Textures and Decor

Instagram loves texture. Add faux fur throws, linen pillows, metallic side tables, or a glossy plant pot. This layering creates visual depth that makes photos feel curated and luxurious.

Pro tip: Use a round mirror or metallic lamp behind the chair to reflect light and make the space feel bigger.

4. Mind the Angle — and the Background

Place your lounge chair in a corner where two aesthetic elements meet: a decorated wall and a styled surface like a console or bookshelf. Avoid clutter and focus on symmetry and depth — Instagram’s best shots feel both styled and spontaneous.

5. Choose Accessories That Tell a Story

Use books, scented candles, coffee trays, or a floor lamp to give the corner personality. Are you going for cozy and quiet? Glam and bold? Create a vibe that matches your chair’s character.
