From the famous Hjellegjerde collection of recliners and ergonomic seating from Norway come the "Designed" series of modern recliners that will definitely spice up your living room. Here is the 410 Tinde which has been very well received perhaps due to its retro styling and broad public appeal. Like many of the Fjords and Hellegjerde products the Tinde recliner features a swivel center post base, active release system that allows the user to find the perfect position and ultimate comfort.

The Torekov from Ikea sparks my interest as it visually appears as an accent chair. An accent or occasional chair often creates a "softer" look in a living room as that piece of furniture does not dominate the space. The nice thing about Torekov is that it actually is a leather recliner and not just an accent chair. To me this is a huge win as I believe strongly in functionality as an important purpose in personal furnishings. Being able to relax in a recliner should be a personal reward for each person, and when home décor meets function, it's a victory. Measurements: 39 ¾" x 38 5/8" x 32 ¼". Price: $749. Available: here.
The Vreta swivel recliners from Ikea are a "standard" as far as recliners go. Vreta's design is classic, modeling the most common forms of leather recliners found in the world. The large pillow topped arms that come down into the seat offer maximum comfort for a tired pair of arms. Other than using a TV remote, there is not much else that will strain the arms in a recliner such as this one. The swivel base is another feature that can come in handy as you may need to "wheel around" to speak with guests on another piece of furniture in your living room. Pictured in dark brown, Vreta also comes in ivory, red, and black. Measurements: 37 3/8" x 40 1/2" x 34 5/8". Price: $549. Available: here.
At nearly $10 per movie I can see why some many people are designing a home theatre room in their own house. Today the technology has really advanced creating fantastic sound and image capabilities at a reasonable cost. If you do have such a room in your house, then this home theatre seating from Ashley Furniture may be worth investigating. Featuring details such as the ability to recline, a console tray table in between chairs, and cup holders, these chairs are ready for a tub of popcorn and the big screen. Available: here.
The Lux leather recliner features clean and simple styling sure to fit into many home decor settings. I find this piece to be transitional and thus able to transcend several interior decorating styles and ultimately fit nicely into many people's living rooms. Lux is available in 18 different Natuzzi leather colors. Additionally, if you prefer fabric upholstery, this recliner has 18 options for fabric as well. The options don't stop there. An additional massage module can be added if you prefer massage while sitting. A cup holder and reading light can be accessorized as well. Measurements: 39" x 29" x 42". Via.
