Fama Chaise Sofas

A chaise section can be a useful addition to a Fama sofa when you want somewhere to stretch out without moving to a full corner configuration. It extends one end of the sofa to create a deeper lounging seat while keeping the rest of the seating more conventional.

Decide which side of the sofa should carry the chaise

The first consideration is the room layout. Think about which end of the sofa has the clearest space in front of it, where people walk through the room and whether the chaise will sit comfortably without interrupting a doorway or natural route.

In an open-plan room, the chaise can also help define the edge of the seating area, but it is worth checking the complete footprint rather than judging the sofa by its overall width alone.

Think about how often you will use the deeper seat

A chaise is particularly useful if someone regularly likes to sit with their feet up, stretch out to read or use the sofa in a more relaxed position. If the extra depth is unlikely to be used, a conventional sofa or different modular arrangement may leave the room feeling more open.

Fama offers chaise options across different sofa families, so seat depth, back shape, arms and overall comfort can vary. We can access products from across the wider Fama catalogue and help you compare the configurations even where the exact arrangement is not currently on display.

Get the sofa configuration right before choosing the fabric

Once the size, comfort and chaise position are right, Fama's broad fabric choice gives plenty of scope to personalise the finished sofa. On a larger piece of upholstery, stronger patterns can have considerable impact, so customers will often use a calmer main fabric and introduce bolder colour or pattern through cushions or selected details.

Our Fama configurator can help us visualise the finished combination, while the physical fabric samples let you check the true colour, texture and pattern scale before ordering.

If you need substantially more seating than a sofa with a chaise provides, our Fama fabric corner sofas may be a better starting point. For a more conventional arrangement, see the Fama fabric sofas.
