Armchairs
An armchair adds comfort and personality to any room. Our range includes William Morris Willow Boughs designs in blue and green, oriental floral birds and classic pinstripe wooden armchairs. Use one as a reading chair, a bedroom seat or a statement in the living room.
Armchairs With Character and Comfort
An armchair is a personal piece. It's where you read, sip tea or watch the world go by. It's also a chance to bring pattern and colour into a room.
Patterned Armchairs
Pattern makes an armchair a statement. Our William Morris Willow Boughs armchairs come in blue and green. They bring classic Arts and Crafts style to modern rooms. The oriental Floral Birds design adds delicate colour. Pinstripe wooden armchairs feel smart and traditional.
Where to Place an Armchair
- Living room – angled towards the sofa for conversation.
- Reading corner – by a window with a floor lamp.
- Bedroom – for dressing or a quiet moment.
- Hallway or landing – a decorative seat in a wide space.
Checking Comfort
Sit back fully. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. Your back should be supported. Armrests should let your shoulders relax. Seat depth around 50 to 55cm suits most people.
Mixing Patterns
If your sofa is plain, a patterned armchair adds interest. Pick a pattern that includes a colour already in the room. Keep cushions simple to let the chair stand out.
Care
Vacuum regularly with a soft brush. Blot spills quickly. Keep out of strong sun to stop patterns fading. Rotate cushions to spread wear.
Add a footstool and a lamp table nearby. See our sofas and chairs collections.
