Styling Your Space: How to Integrate a Massage Chair into Your Home Décor

You want a massage chair. Your body’s asking for it. But your creative side is a bit concerned: how do you make the recliner fit in with the rest of your living room? You will be glad to hear that current massage chairs are much improved. They’re not just old seats meant to go out to the garage anymore. If you use the right styling suggestions, a massage chair will enhance your room instead of taking away from it.

Here is how to keep your home looking nice and enjoy some daily peace at the same time.

Choose the Right Design (There’s a Chair for Every Style)

Some massage chairs are designed in ways that may remind us of a spaceship. But now, designers have models that work with any type of decor. Homes with minimalist and modern looks should try something with clean lines and neutral tones. The Smart Zen in grey or black fits beautifully in light-toned, open-plan rooms.

When you have cozy and traditional decor, darker finishes like coffee brown or deep black will look nice with your choice of leather couches or wooden walls. For example, the Ogawa Master Sensei, looks like a classic recliner but offers the features of a premium massage chair.

Irelax offers various styles that prove wellness and design can go hand in hand.

Match Your Chair to Your Room

Begin with the question of whether your chair will blend with the rest of the room or grab everyone’s attention. Neutral colors like black, mocha, beige and grey usually work well with any kind of interior design. These are safe choices and can be perfect to choose from if you are unsure about how bold you want to be.

Should you want the chair to pop in the room, use a color that stands out and coordinate it with other elements in the room. As an example, a red or white massage chair will pop beautifully in a monochrome environment when echoed through items like pillows, a rug or wall art.

In any case, be cautious about mixing colors that don’t go well together. A harmonious use of colors can make any large piece of furniture fit well into your space.

Smart Placement Tips

If you find the right spot, you can use a massage chair in any room. If your chair is made for hugging a wall, why not place it in a living room corner? They require very little area when you use the reclining feature.

Pay close attention to the size of your area. It’s important to select an area that offers enough room for reclining and lots of room to circle around it. Put it somewhere where people won’t walk directly over or in the center of the room.

Want the chair to look like a design choice? A side table, plant or lamp next to it will be a good addition. Create a nook in your house to enjoy as you would a reading nook. When your massage chair is set up like this, people will fight over its use because it looks and feels so good.

If there isn’t enough space in your living room, you can try placing it in your bedroom or a dedicated wellness nook. But, don’t shy away from putting it in communal areas. Many modern chairs double as elegant recliners.

Accessorize Around It

A few little changes can help your massage chair match your overall design vision.

• Throw Blanket or Cushion: When not in use, lay a blanket over it or place a cushion to help it fit in with your sofa set. Only remove them when you are using it.
• Floor Lamp: One way to enhance the appearance in a room is with a tall standing lamp. It adds warmth, visual interest, and illustrates the area as a part of your chair system.
• Bookshelf or Art: If you want to give your living room style, add bookshelves or framed art to fill the space.
• Rug: Under the chair, a great rug will ground the chair and connect it to the rest of your room visually.

Small Space Solutions

Are you an apartment dweller? Don’t worry. You can get a compact massage chair that’s not too big for your space. Like the MySofa Luxe which is designed to look like a 2-seater, but delivers complete massage functionality.

Another good choice is to get a wall-saver chair. Because they only need a little space, these work well in tiny rooms where regular chairs might be too big.

For when space is really tight, portable massage cushions may be the answer like the iEnjoy 4D Massage Cushion. You can place it on any regular chair  and store it away easily after use.

Adding mirrors or a light color paint to the walls works well to curb the feeling of bulk large items. Open up the space around your chair so it seems less dominant.

Functionality and Aesthetics

It’s possible to enjoy comfort and style at the same time. Merely placing it thoughtfully, adding a few accessories and getting the correct model will make your massage chair your favorite part of the decor. You’ll find a massage chair that matches your home style, whether your home is sleek and modern or warm and rustic
