Frequently Asked Questions
What types of armchairs are available?
Our armchairs collection includes club chairs with deep seats and low backs, wingback chairs with side panels for traditional elegance, lounge chairs for reclining comfort, barrel chairs with curved backs, swivel chairs for dynamic movement, and rocking chairs for soothing motion. Materials range from velvet, linen, and bouclé to leather and performance fabrics.

What's the difference between armchairs and accent chairs?
Armchairs always feature armrests for added support and comfort, making them ideal for extended sitting, reading, or relaxing. Accent chairs may or may not have arms—the term refers more to their decorative purpose than specific features. Armchairs prioritize comfort with deeper seats and supportive arms, while accent chairs emphasize style and visual impact. Many armchairs also function as accent chairs when they feature bold designs or colors that make decorative statements.
Where should I place armchairs?
Armchairs work beautifully in living rooms beside sofas for conversation areas, corners with floor lamps and accent tables for reading nooks, bedrooms for relaxing or dressing, home offices for comfortable seating, or master suites for private retreats. Pair two armchairs facing each other for intimate conversation areas. Use to flank fireplaces for symmetrical elegance or place near windows to create cozy spots for enjoying natural light.
How do I choose the right armchair size?
Measure your space carefully, leaving adequate clearance for traffic flow—at least 30-36 inches of walkway space. Standard armchairs are 30-40 inches wide (including arms) and 30-40 inches deep. Consider seat height (17-19 inches for standard seating) and overall height—high-back chairs (36-42 inches) provide more support, while low-profile chairs (30-34 inches) suit smaller spaces. Ensure the chair scale matches your room and existing furniture proportions.
What upholstery works best for armchairs?
Velvet offers luxurious texture and rich color, perfect for formal living rooms or bedrooms. Leather provides timeless sophistication, durability, and ages beautifully with proper care. Linen delivers casual, breathable comfort ideal for everyday use. Performance fabrics resist stains and wear, great for high-traffic areas or homes with children and pets. Bouclé creates trendy, textured appeal. Consider your lifestyle—durable fabrics for busy households, delicate fabrics for low-traffic or decorative use.
How do I care for armchairs?
For upholstered armchairs, vacuum regularly using the upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. Spot-clean spills immediately following fabric care codes—blot, don't rub. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and condition every 6-12 months to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness. Rotate cushions regularly for even wear. Avoid placing in direct sunlight to prevent fading. For wood frames and legs, dust regularly and use furniture polish occasionally. Tighten screws and bolts periodically. Professional cleaning every 12-24 months maintains beauty and extends armchair life.
