3. Style and Comfort
Many individuals enjoy blending furniture styles, such as antiques and contemporary, but doing it successfully requires some expertise. It’s better to choose a general concept and then purchase accent chairs that match or enhance the rest. The most important feature of an armchair is comfort, especially if you plan to use it on a regular basis. For example, some people prefer rattan armchairs over sofas and only use the sofa when they have visitors.
The sofa design, on the other hand, is essential because it is what first attracts your attention even before you use it. Unless you want to treat your armchairs as a hands-off sculpture, you’ll want to choose wooden lounge chairs that urge you to cuddle up and read your favourite book, or are comfortable enough to entertain your guests.
4. Fabric and Colour
Making the wrong colour choice for your armchair may be disastrous. Taking a swatch home to consider it in relation to your other furniture and wall colours, as well as under different lighting, is always a smart idea. Remember to pick a colour that you’ll be able to live with for a long period. If you choose a neutral colour scheme, you can always add colour with pillows, blankets, and accessories. Unless you like discordant interiors, choosing colours that complement one other is essential. If your main sofa is burgundy, for example, use Hampton armchairs in beige, white, gold, or pale blue, or textiles in a subdued colour scheme.
Select a fabric that is appropriate for your lifestyle so that you may enjoy it for many years. If you have children and pets, leather is a fantastic option. If you have your heart set on those stunning silk-covered armchairs, try using a professional quality protectant spray advised by the manufacturer to protect the fabric.
