Arranging Lounge Furniture With Black Bases and Fixed Armrests Armrests
Set out the whole seating form before assigning neighboring furniture positions. Because the arms are fixed, their relationship to an approach route or adjacent seat needs to work as planned. Examine the front entry to each place and the space at the sides. Where a seat is angled, review the position of both arms rather than using the center of the seat as the only reference. This is particularly useful at the corners of a conversation group, where neighboring outlines can meet differently from those in a straight row.
Review the Group at Floor Level
Black bases create a repeated color detail beneath the seating. How strongly that detail appears depends on its surroundings and the amount of base visible. Check the group against the actual floor and from the main approach. A lighter background may make the base outlines more distinct, while a darker setting may bring them closer to the room palette. Decide which relationship is appropriate before extending the treatment across the lounge. Also consider whether bases seen from behind contribute to an exposed rear view of the arrangement.
