Decor Thoughts: A settee worth sitting on

January 3, 2013

One of my decor musts remains a beautiful settee.

I first proclaimed my love for settees hereĀ but really got inspired all over again when I saw this settee in the home of Gerard Tremolet. Ā The settee is actually the most understated piece of decor in the room. Ā Yet it remains undeniably elegant. Ā Can you imagine lounging in this corner as you serve tea and finger foods to a few guests (hummus and pepper filled crackers come to mind!)?

What I love about a settee is that it can also be a signature and statement piece of furniture in a home as well. Ā Here are my latest picks for a settee worth sitting on:

For a clean look (in a gorgeous color!)…

    Wow these are all so gorgeous that I have a hard time choosing one! I think I’d likely go for the pop of color, or the gray option. I love the vintage one, but you would almost need to design the whole room around it to work. Call me ignorant, but what’s the difference between a setee and a loveseat?

      MizzJ, I like the vintage know too and would be tempted to rework a room to accommodate it! A settee is basically a fancy term for love seat because it is a small sofa.

    The tufted gray one has my name all over it!

    i ALWAYSSSSSS dreamed of having one as a child – i thought that’s what the “perfect” childhood room should have – one under the window to look out when it’s snowing or to read a book – u would think as an adult i would have one – but NOPE – but if i ever have a little girl – she WILL have one under her bedroom window :o)

    I quite love the Williams-Sonoma beauty!

    I think the Anthro and West Elm ones get my votes! Love a good settee, the more colourful the better in my opinion! Although I haven’t come across any fantastic options here in SG yet – any ideas?!

      I did see a cute, small settee at Om Living in Singapore. It wasn’t super comfortable, but a great size and stylish as well. Perhaps we can take a field trip some time!
