The armchair is synonymous of comfort and relaxation, as well as style and personal expression. Here are 5 useful tips for choosing the right model for you:
Decide where it will be placed: will it be part of an upholstered furniture arrangement or will it stand alone in a part of the living room paired with a simple coffee table to create a cozy reading corner? Are you planning to place it in the bedroom or in the child's room, or perhaps in a home office? Will it be placed in front of the TV? Before purchasing, focusing on the position of the armchair is essential to identify the most suitable model.
Consider the space available: if you have a spaciois room you can easily opt for a larger and more generous armchair, equipped with armrests and—why not?—a reclining backrest. But if the space is limited, you should favor the more compact and minimalist models. We recommend grabbing a tape measure, paper, and pencil and precisely measuring the space where the armchair will be placed.
Be practical when choosing the materials: in this case too, the choice depends not only on personal taste but also on practical considerations. If pets live at home, for example, leather armchairs should be avoided. If you have small children, it's best to choose models with removable, washable fabric covers.
It's also essential to ensure that the product harmoniously integrates into the surrounding environment. This can mean two things: looking for one that stylistically and chromatically complements the other furnishing elements, or creating a strategic contrast, even if only in terms of color.
If the modern armchairs and the sofas belong to the same collection, the problem of matching doesn't arise. The alternative is to choose living room armchairs and sofas belonging to different collections, but within the same same style, creating a more dynamic and personalized look.
If desired, you can play with different colour tones as long as they complement each other well. For example a burgundy armchair can be paired nicely with a dove gray sofa, but not with a sofa with light blue upholstery.
Alternatively, the common thread between sofa and armchairs can be the color, allowing for more freedom in terms of style. However it's better to avoid excesses: extreme contrasts can end up looking disjointed. Another recommendation for everyone: be careful to respect the proportions.
There are different types of armchairs, it's true, but it's undoubtedly useful to list the main ones:
Chesterfield: the classic leather armchair with buttons, a low seat, and armrests and a backrest at the same height. Bergére: its signature feature is the high backrest with "wings."
As for modern models, it is worth noting that tradition often is the main souce of inspiration, the starting point for thoughtful reinterpretations. For those who have limited space space, there are compact armchair designs that are easy to place and capable of adding character thanks to the high-quality materials they are made from. You'll find everything in the product data sheet.
