Designing/ decorating a funky, functional and RELAXED lounge room?

Question:Hi guys,

I need to buy new lounges but I am considering breaking from tradition and not going with lounges at all, but giant, rectangular shaped 8 ft beanbags (website with a picture of them: http://www.sitbackandrelax.com.au/index_...

Currently my house is a mix of Indochinese / Balinese furniture, lots of vintage knickknacks, paper lanterns etc. It's a pretty laid back place. The lounge room is small so 2 bean bags would just about fill it. I could add floor cushions, cushions to the beanbag to accentuate and update looks.

I live alone (no partner to convince about the beanbags).

I would love my lounge room to be a place to relax, completely informal, somewhere people would like to be. Having said that, my house is tiny and if I did need somewhere formal the only other place would be the kitchen table (hehe).

Do you think this idea would work?

Love to hear from anyone who has done something similar!

Thanks,
Heidi

A friend of mine did this with huge pillows. It was nice, it encourages deeper conversation and is relaxing. The con though was that it kind of made you sleepy.
