How to choose an armchair

Give your armchair a purpose

Will your armchair face different directions depending on time and activity – and being able to swivel is a winner? Maybe you’re in search of a soft seat for gatherings over coffee? Or a wing chair that supports good posture for long, distraction-free reading sessions? Planning how you will use it makes all the difference when choosing functions and comfort level for your armchair.

Style to settle the score

See, now it’s getting personal. What do you fancy beyond a supple cushion? The plush embrace of a swivel chair, the slender sophistication of a solid-wood frame, the traditional lines of a classic reading chair? Think about what you really want, then find the seating to match.

Your armchair’s best friends

Almost there! The seating itself may be the star, but creating a true me-time corner is also about the bigger picture. Cushions and a throw for comfort. A side table or storage unit to keep the right props close. Maybe a rug for that extra layer of cosiness. Definitely a lamp for mood and visibility. Voilà, we are at our destination! Take a bow, take a seat.
