To me, summer means spending lazy afternoons by the pool or at the beach!  Okay, so maybe in my summer fantasy.  When the day comes when we have a pool in our backyard I know the hunt for the perfect chaise lounge chairs will be daunting.  I decided to round up some of my favorites at all price points.

I just love this image above (seen in Trina Turk’s Schumacher ads)…a nice modern lounger with bright fabrics.

If money were no object, this would be my pick…the Cross Chaise by Janus et Cie.

Amalfi II by Janus et Cie

Catalina Chaise by Restoration Hardware

Nantucket Chaise by Restoration Hardware

Extra Wide Chesapeake Double Chaise by Pottery Barn

Lucca Chaise Lounge from DWR

Tumbona Chaise by Gandia Blasco

Soho Designer Chaise Lounge by Frontgate.

Wimbledon Sun Lounger by Gloster

For the budget minded…

I love the simple lines of the Wood-Slat Single Lounger from West Elm.

Roma Lounger from Target

Kona Pool Lounger from Cost Plus World Market

Do you feel like outdoor chaises are a splurge or save item?
