Accent chairs are designed to add a touch of style and flair to a room. They come in various shapes and upholstery options, and their purpose is to complement your existing décor by featuring unique patterns, bold colours, or interesting design elements.

Wing chairs have tall backs that extend to the sides, forming ‘wings’ around your head. Originally designed to shield against drafts, wingback chairs now offer a combination of elegance and comfort. They make excellent statement pieces and can enhance a traditional or vintage aesthetic.

A snuggler chair, also known as a love seat or cuddle chair, is a cosy and compact seating option designed for two people. It offers a generous seat width that allows you to snuggle up comfortably with a loved one or curl up with a book and a blanket.

Swivel chairs offer the convenience of 360-degree rotation. These chairs feature a swivel base that allows you to turn in different directions without having to move the entire chair. Swivel chairs are practical for conversation areas, home offices, or spaces where flexibility and mobility are desired.

If ultimate relaxation is your goal, a recliner chair might be the ideal choice. These chairs feature a mechanism that allows you to recline the backrest and often extend the footrest as well. Recliners are perfect for lounging, watching TV, or taking a nap, providing excellent comfort and support.

What should I look for when buying an armchair?

Armchairs are where we unwind and relax, so it’s important to consider comfort as a top priority when buying an armchair. Choose a chair with ample cushioning and good support in both the seat and backrest. Why not visit our Taunton and Yeovil showrooms and try out our armchairs for yourself. You’ll be able to test the comfort of the armchair and experience its high-quality. Pay attention to how it supports your back, whether the seat depth suits you, and if the armrests are at a comfortable height.

You’ll also want to consider the available space in your room and the scale of your existing furniture. Measure the area where the armchair will be placed to ensure it fits appropriately without overwhelming the space. Also, consider the seat height and depth to ensure it is suitable for your body size and personal preferences.

Your armchair should also complement your personal style and the overall aesthetic of your room. Whether you prefer a classic, modern, or country look, we have various styles for you to choose from. Consider the shape, material, colours, and patterns to find an armchair that suits.

What is a normal size for an armchair?

When you're searching for the perfect armchair to complete your living space, understanding the typical size can be helpful. While armchair sizes can vary, there are general considerations to keep in mind. A standard armchair is designed to provide ample seating room for one person. It should have a width that allows you to sit comfortably without feeling cramped. The seat depth is an essential factor for comfort, ensuring that you can sit comfortably for extended periods. The seat height affects how easy it is to get in and out of the chair, and the overall height of the armchair contributes to its visual presence in the room. Consider a rise and recliner chair if you would like additional support getting in and out of your chair.

It's important to consider the proportions and style of the armchair in relation to your other furniture, aiming for a balanced and harmonious look. Take the time to measure your available space and consider how the armchair will fit within your existing furniture arrangement. Choose a style, colour and fabric that will blend perfectly with your existing décor.
