Armchairs

The many different types of armchair

The different types of armchair can serve many purposes in your home. A tub chair or contemporary armchair can be a perfect complement to your sofa arrangement. A wingback or high back armchair can create a great reading spot, with a strategically positioned floor lamp placed beside it. A small armchair that is easy to move is perfect for offering some extra seating when you have guests over. And a classical rocking chair can be the perfect place to sit when knitting a nice long scarf. 

Recliner chairs for extra comfort

Are you looking to create the ultimate spot to relax in your home? See our recliner chairs. With a recliner chair you can easily adjust the backrest to accommodate your needs. Sit up when enjoying a magazine or a good book and lay down when you want to rest your eyes or take a nap. 

How to take care of your armchair

Accidents happen. And spilling food or drink in an armchair could leave an irritating stain in the fabric. To combat this, several of our armchairs and recliners have a removable cover, which mean you can just throw it in the washing machine to remove the stain. 

If your chair doesn't have removable covers, you can try cleaning the stain with a damp cloth. Use together with some upholstery shampoo for particularly stubborn stains. Once you've found your new armchair, make sure to read the care instructions for more tips on how to take care of it. 

What should you consider when choosing an armchair?

Selecting the right armchair is about finding the perfect blend of form and function. Start by considering the size of your space; a small armchair can be a charming addition to a cosy corner or a snug reading nook. It's not just about the footprint but also the scale in relation to other furniture. Comfort is paramount, so look for a design that invites you in with open arms—quite literally. Test the seat depth and back height to ensure it supports your posture and relaxation needs.

How do you match an armchair to your decor?

Armchair style is a statement of your personal aesthetic and should harmonise with your existing decor. Traditionalists might lean towards classic designs with timeless appeal, while the more adventurous could opt for bold patterns that make the armchair a focal point. Think about the armchair as a piece of your storytelling at home—it should reflect your personality and create the desired mood. Textiles and textures play a critical role too; they can add warmth, contrast, or a touch of luxury to your space.

What are the benefits of investing in a quality armchair?

Investing in a quality armchair is about more than just a place to sit—it's about creating a personal retreat that stands the test of time. A well-crafted armchair not only offers superior comfort but also acts as a centrepiece that elevates your interior. It's a versatile piece that can transition through various life stages and home settings. With thoughtful selection, it can become an heirloom piece, rich with memories and stories, passed down through generations. When searching for the perfect armchair, view it as an investment in your daily well-being. Beyond being a piece of furniture, a well-designed armchair becomes a companion for tranquil moments, a supportive presence during animated conversations, and a comforting embrace at the close of a lengthy day. Keep in mind, your ideal armchair is waiting to be discovered—time to find your perfect seat.

Add cushions and blankets

To maximise the comfort with your armchair, add a cushion and a soft, warm blanket to cuddle up in. We have cushions and cushion covers in different sizes, colours and patterns. Our comfy blankets and throws also come in different styles, so everyone can find one matching their armchair or recliner.
