Sink into comfort with our stylish armchairs

Ever dreamed of a cosy nook to call your own? Whether you’re diving into a good book, binge-watching your favourite series or just having a cuppa, the right armchair can be your haven. Let’s explore some of our irresistible armchair options that can turn any corner into your personal retreat.

The cosiness of an armchair

Armchairs are your home's unsung heroes, providing comfort after a long day. These standalone pieces of furniture are great for creating a focal point in your living space or adding an extra layer of comfort to your bedroom. They're simple, no-fuss furnishings that require no installation — just plop one down and voilà, instant relaxation.

A style for every taste

Our collection caters to all styles, from the classic wingback chair for that touch of elegance to modern swivel chairs that add a twist to your seating arrangement. Whether you’re a fan of minimalist chic or bold and eclectic, we’ve got the ideal armchair to match your vibe and decor.

The joy of comfort

Owning a cosy armchair can transform your living experience. It's a place to escape, relax and recharge. With no tricky setups or power needed, an armchair is a fuss-free addition to any room, great for quiet moments alone or as a comfy spot for your guests.

Choose your armchair champion

Armchairs come in various styles, each offering unique features and comforts. Here’s a closer look at three popular types.

Armchairs

The classic armchair is a staple in any home. It provides a comfortable, standalone seat that fits greatly in a living room, bedroom or cosy corner. These chairs typically feature sturdy arms and a solid back, designed to support you while you read, chat or relax. 

Available in a range of materials, including leather, fabric and velvet, armchairs can be as understated or as statement-making as you like. They often serve as the centrepiece of a room’s decor due to their size and design.

Recliners

Recliners take comfort to the next level. They are engineered with mechanisms that allow the back to lean backwards and often a footrest to extend from the front. Ideal for those who love to kick back and relax after a long day, recliners offer varying degrees of reclining, from slight tilts to almost flat layouts. They're ideal for movie nights, snoozing or simply lounging in utmost comfort.

Sleeper chairs

Sleeper chairs are the multitaskers of the armchair world. By day, they function as comfortable chairs with all the style and support you expect. By night, they can transform into a bed, making them great for homes without a guest room or for those who frequently host friends and family. 

Sleeper chairs are particularly valuable in small spaces where efficiency and functionality are key. They typically unfold or pull out to reveal a mattress that's compact yet comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep.

Which material speaks to your style? 

Here’s the scoop on the top materials that could make your next armchair a showstopper in both style and snugness. So, grab a cuppa, and let’s dive into the wonderful world of armchair fabrics.

Fabric armchairs

If you love a splash of practicality with comfort, fabric armchairs are the way to go. Cotton and linen are stars in the upholstery game, being both soft and durable. They’re a hit for families or anyone with pets since they tackle spills and smudges with a dab of soap and water. 

Fancy a bit more resilience? Synthetic blends are your best mates, standing strong against wear and tear and keeping their cool looks over time. Plus, they're brilliant for adding a touch of rustic charm with features like button-backs or natural wood accents.

Leather armchairs

Nothing says grandeur quite like a leather armchair. Whether it’s genuine leather or a savvy synthetic option, these beauties age like fine wine, getting even more distinguished with time. Leather can be a breeze to maintain — just a quick wipe, and you’re good to go. And it’s brilliant for anyone allergic to pet hair or dust. Stylistically, leather chairs fit like a glove in an industrial-themed space, adding a layer of sophisticated cool without trying too hard.

Velvet armchairs

Velvet, the king of comfort, brings an air of opulence and texture that’s hard to beat. It’s not just a treat for the eyes; its plush feel makes every sit-down feel like a bed of roses. Velvet does need a bit of love to keep looking sharp, but it’s worth it for that rich, tactile experience. And let’s not forget, a velvet armchair in a zingy colour or bold pattern is sure to be the main character in any room.

Bamboo or rattan armchairs

Looking for something a tad unconventional? Bamboo and rattan armchairs throw a tropical twist into the mix. These materials are not only sturdy and weather-resistant but also flexible enough to fit both outdoor vibes and indoor elegance. Although naturally supportive, many rattan or bamboo chairs come with plush cushions for an extra dose of comfort. Just remember to keep them sheltered from the elements to maintain their gorgeous look and feel.

Tips for styling your armchair

Styling your new armchair can be a blast, whether you’re decking out a snug corner for reading, boosting your living room’s seating options or sprucing up your balcony for those extended coffee breaks. It’s all about making that armchair work for you, so here’s some cheeky tips to get you lounging in style.

Light up your reading nook

Thinking about a cosy corner for your latest page-turner? Park that armchair under a chic floor lamp. Not only will it shed the best light for your reading, but the sleek design of the lamp can also accentuate the vibe of your armchair, making it a standout feature in any room.

Snuggle up for movie nights

If it’s a plush recliner you’ve got, why not jazz it up with a snuggly throw blanket? Great for keeping warm during those film marathons or just a lazy evening. Go bold with a contrasting colour or a lively pattern to really make your recliner pop and scream cosy.

Mix and match with your sofa

Should your armchair match your sofa? We say, mix it up. Try different textures and materials to add some depth to your space. If your sofa has clean lines and minimal fuss, throw in an armchair with a vibrant print to spice things up. Or if your living area’s already a festival of colours, a recliner in a soothing neutral can bring a touch of calm.

Don’t forget the sidekick

And by a sidekick, we mean a nifty side table right next to your armchair. It’s the best perch for your cuppa, your current read or a chic little plant. Not only does it serve a practical purpose, but it also completes the look, tying everything together in your cosy little corner.
