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 here but really got inspired all over again when I saw this settee in the home of Gerard Tremolet.  The settee is actually the most understated piece of decor in the room.  Yet it remains undeniably elegant.  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.  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!
