Armchairs

What is an armchair?

An armchair is an upholstered chair designed to seat one person and feature arm supports on either side. It is typically a more comfortable and supportive style of chair, ideal for relaxing, reading, or watching television. Armchairs come in various styles and colours and are suitable for several different rooms, most commonly living rooms and bedrooms.

What’s the difference between an armchair and an accent chair?

The main difference between an armchair and an accent chair lies in their intended use and designs. While an armchair is built for practicality, support and comfort, with built-in armrests, an accent chair’s primary purpose is to enhance the décor of a room. Though accent chairs are often comfortable to sit on, they are often placed for visual appeal, acting as a focal piece among existing furniture.
