Armchairs

A comfortable armchair quickly turns a corner in your home into a lovely place to read, relax, or simply do nothing at all. In this collection, you’ll find comfortable models for the living room, bedroom, or a quiet workspace. When making your choice, pay close attention to size, upholstery, and how the chair fits in with your other furniture.

Armchairs for every interior

Whether you prefer a warm fabric, soft teddy, velvet, or leather, a good armchair adds comfort without taking up too much space. If you choose a compact model, the chair will also fit well in a smaller seating area. A roomier armchair offers extra support and is often comfortable if you like to sit for longer periods.

Also consider the look and feel of your interior. An armchair in a light fabric looks friendly and fresh, while dark leather or velvet creates more contrast. That way, you can easily make the right choice that pairs well with your sofa, rug, and other seating areas, such as your chairs.

Buying guide: what should you look for?

Choose the right size

Measure the spot where the armchair will go carefully. Don’t just consider the width, but also the depth and the walking space around it. In a compact living room, a slimmer model often works best. If you have more space, you can choose a chair with wide armrests or a deeper seat.

Think about how you’ll use it

If you mainly use the armchair for reading, choose a model with good back support. For an extra occasional seat, a lighter and more easy-to-move model is practical. In a bedroom or a corner by the window, comfort is often more important than a large seat size.

Choose an upholstery that suits your household

Fabric feels warm and inviting. Teddy gives a soft, full look. Leather is easy to wipe clean and often develops more character with use. If you have children or pets, a durable, easy-care upholstery is often the smartest choice.

How to combine an armchair in your seating area

An armchair looks best next to a sofa or as a standalone accent in an empty corner. Pair the chair with one of our side tables for a practical spot for a book or cup of tea. If you want to make the seating area feel more complete, add a matching rug and a low table, such as one of the coffee tables.

If you’re working with several seating areas, pay attention to balance in height and shape. A round armchair can be a beautiful contrast to a sleek sofa. Material differences also help: a soft chair alongside wooden or metal accents creates a polished, warm combination.

Practical tips for use and care

It’s better not to place an armchair too close to a radiator or in bright, direct sunlight. That way, the upholstery stays beautiful for longer. Turn loose cushions from time to time if possible, and dust the chair regularly with a soft brush or upholstery attachment. For stains, it’s best to act quickly and follow the advice that suits the fabric or leather.

Frequently asked questions about armchairs

What size armchair fits in a small living room?

In a smaller space, choose a compact model with a shallower seat and slim armrests. Measure the available space in advance and leave about 60 to 80 cm of walking space.

What is a practical upholstery for everyday use?

For intensive use, durable fabrics and leather are often practical. They are usually easy to maintain and suitable for a household where the chair is used a lot.

How do I combine an armchair with my sofa?

You can choose the same colour family for a calm look, or go for contrast in material or shape. Most importantly, make sure the height and volume are well balanced with the rest of the seating area.

Where is the best place to put an armchair?

That depends on how you use it. Next to the sofa is handy as an extra seat, while a spot by the window or in a bedroom makes for a lovely reading corner. Preferably combine the chair with a small table and good lighting.

How do I best maintain my armchair?

Vacuum the upholstery regularly with a soft brush and treat stains as quickly as possible. Always use a cleaner that is suitable for the material of the chair and test it first on a hidden spot.
