Choosing a desginer armchair that fits your home
The right armchair feels made for you, both practically and visually. Look at depth—it could give you room to curl up or keep you supported upright. Compare seat heights against your dining or coffee tables. Upholstery choices like soft bouclé or smooth leather both add character and durability. Think of how you’ll use it—an afternoon read, a relaxing solo moment or a seat for chatting with friends. A perfect fit feels unforced, and before you know it, that chair becomes your quiet companion. Whether placing one alongside a cosy reading corner or adding a dining-side statement near your table from the dining table range, these armchairs are about creating spots that draw you in and ask you to stay a while.
Our armchairs are selected for real life—not just how they look. That means comfortable support, balanced arm and back heights, and fabrics that wear beautifully. Place one by a window for a relaxed light-filled spot or mix styles to warm up your dining area. Whether it’s a subtle neutral or a confident shade, the textures and finishes are chosen to complement your everyday space and evolve with your home.
making your armchair feel settled
Imagine how your chair will work day to day—maybe for morning coffee, a book, or watching sun-drenched evenings unfold. Choose scale that leaves walking space and layered light and accessories to anchor your seat. A bold fabric can become a focal point, while a softer hue will rest quietly into your decor. When it sits with ease among your belongings and feels effortlessly right, that is when your armchair truly feels like home.

Our Cheltenham showroom is a great place to try styles in person so you can really get a feel for comfort, scale and flow in your own space.
We recommend materials that balance beauty with practicality. Bouclé is soft and forgiving, masking small marks well. Leather brings a sleek, timeless feel and is easy to wipe clean. Performance fabrics in linen blends offer colour variety and resist everyday wear. Each material is chosen for its ability to age gracefully—so if your family uses it often, it can still look inviting and stay comfortable over time.
