Here are some aspects to consider when selecting the perfect armchair for your home.
Curling up in am armchair to read a book is one of life’s simplest pleasures.
Sitting in an armchair is a very different experience to sitting on a sofa, which is a seat made for sharing. An armchair envelops you and creates a personal space.
When selecting the perfect armchair, comfort is your primary consideration. A good armchair should provide adequate back support, and for older people, be easy to get out of.
Armchairs come in so many different shapes, styles and sizes, from classic designs with wide, scroll arms to streamlined seats that can double as dining chairs. Upholstery can also be an option: you can update an antique chair with modern fabric and potentially keep it for years to come. When selecting fabric for armchairs, you can afford to be more creative. It’s one area you can be highly decorative. Choose a classic fabric and use throws and cushions for colour and pattern.
The enduring appeal of the armchair lies in its versatility. It can be placed anywhere – small nooks, the hallway or living room and used as extra seating when required. When you have an extra guest, an armchair can be pulled over alongside the sofas.
Armchairs often play a decorative role, so good looks are vital. An armchair can function as an accessory and can really lift a room!
