Materials That Shape Comfort and Style
Armchairs come in different materials that change the look and feel of your room. Each option has its own strengths and suits different homes.
Fabric Armchairs for Warmth and Soft Comfort
Fabric is one of the most popular choices for armchairs. It brings warmth and softness to a room. Many fabrics are gentle to the touch and suit homes with a relaxed feel. They work well with timber flooring, rugs and other living room furniture. Fabric chairs are easily paired with ottomans, coffee tables, and storage pieces. Spot cleaning is usually simple, which makes them practical for families.
PU Leather and Leather Designs for a Clean Modern Look
Leather and PU leather give your room a tidy and modern style. These materials feel smooth and are simple to wipe clean. They suit homes that want a sharper, more structured look. Leather works well in living rooms, bedrooms and home offices. It matches nicely with metal lamps, timber side tables, and neutral décor. PU leather offers a similar look at a more accessible price.
Timber Frames for Natural Texture
Timber frames add strength and character. They bring warmth to both modern and classic interiors. Solid timber can handle everyday use and works well with textured cushions or throws. A timber base pairs nicely with other timber pieces from our dining furniture or bedroom ranges. The material ages well and often gains charm over time.
Mixed Materials for Balanced Style
Some models use a blend of metal, fabric or timber. These modern armchair options give a balanced look that suits many homes. Metal frames add stability. Timber adds warmth. Upholstery adds softness. Mixed designs offer flexibility because they pair well with both light and dark interiors.
Where Armchairs Fit in Your Home
Armchairs work in almost any room. Placement changes how the space feels and how you use it.
Living Rooms
A single armchair is a strong addition to any living room. It creates another seat that works with your sofa or recliner chairs. It gives you a spot to read, relax or unwind. You can match your chair with coffee tables, soft lighting or a small storage unit. If your living room has uneven spaces or empty corners, a compact armchair can help balance the room.
Bedrooms
A modern armchair can turn a bedroom into a cosy retreat. It works well near a window or beside a wardrobe. You can use it as a reading seat or a quiet space to rest before bed. A side table next to the chair adds a place for books or a morning cup of tea. Timber or upholstered styles both work nicely in a bedroom, depending on your colour scheme.
Home Offices
If you work from home, an armchair adds comfort for breaks and casual meetings. It softens the look of a workspace and makes it feel more inviting. A compact chair suits smaller offices. Larger chairs suit open rooms where you have more floor space.
Entryways and Spare Corners
A narrow armchair can fill an empty corner without taking over the room. It adds style and gives guests a place to sit while putting on shoes. Slim side tables or storage baskets work well beside smaller chairs.
Comparing Armchair Styles
Armchairs come in different shapes and each one brings its own comfort and presence. Here is how the most common styles differ.
Accent Armchairs
Accent chairs draw the eye. They come in strong colours, curved shapes and textured fabrics. They suit homes that want a feature piece and they sit well in living rooms, bedrooms and wide hallways. They stand out through their style and they work across many interior themes, although they are not the best choice for long periods of sitting.
Recliner Armchairs
Recliner styles focus on comfort. They support your back, legs and neck. They work best in living rooms, media rooms or family spaces. You can pair them with recliner chairs or a matching sofa for a relaxed layout. They are ideal for long sessions of reading or resting. They do need more room to recline, so they suit homes that have enough floor space for movement.
Wingback Armchairs
Wingback designs have tall backs and curved sides. They suit classic homes and quiet reading corners. They bring presence to a room and offer strong back support. Their large shape makes them a striking piece, although they fit best in medium or large rooms where there is space to show their full form.
Compact Armchairs
Compact chairs fit small apartments, townhouses or tight corners. They offer comfort without taking up much space. They sit well in entryways, spare rooms or small living areas. They save floor space and are simple to move when you need to adjust your layout. Their smaller seating area can feel snug, so they suit homes where space-saving is a priority.
Choosing the Right Size
The right size helps your armchair feel natural in your room. A few simple steps help you pick the right fit.
- Measure the width, depth and height of the space.
- Leave room to walk around the chair.
- Check how the chair sits with nearby pieces like coffee tables, ottomans, sofas or side tables.
- Look at the seat height if you want a chair that is easy to get in and out of.
- Check the back height for reading or long sitting.
- Review the dimensions listed for each model before buying.
Most armchairs in our range come with clear measurements. Use these to plan your layout and avoid crowding the room.
