Armchairs are chairs with arm rests. Simple right? However, armchairs can invoke completely different styles and moods depending on the size, upholstery, and design of the chair. Here at mrfurnish.co.uk we have everything you need to shop for your very own armchair to get comfortable in. We help you find the perfect armchair for your living room, bedroom, or library that will complement your existing furniture and personal décor.

The armchair gained immense popularity in the 18th century, as furniture for comfort came slowly into fashion; intricate designs, curved lines, and ornate wood work were still masterfully incorporated. Ever since, it has found a proud place in many homes across the UK and here at mrfurnish.co.uk we have everything you need to shop for your very own armchair to get comfortable in. We will help you every step of the way in purchasing the perfect armchair for your living room, bedroom, or library that will complement your existing furniture and personal décor.

The upholstery of armchairs is important in terms of look and feel and mrfurnish has a wide range of materials for you to choose from. Fabric armchairs usually offer colour and come in a fibre mix for strength, texture, and durability. Microfiber upholstery is a sensible option if you have children or pets as it can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Our velvet armchairs are smart, soft, and luxurious. All velvets have a distinctive crushed look or show natural shading and suit more formal interiors. Cotton fibre is extremely versatile, whether pure or blended. It is very comfortable on the skin, easy to care for and complements many décor styles. A leather armchair is a very smart and also very flexible option, as you can choose between a distressed and antique leather look or a smooth and soft leather finish. Leather does age with use but this only adds character and charm, and a leather armchair comes with the added bonus of being easy to look after as it can be wiped down.

Mrfurnish has three extremely useful sliders on the left hand side of this page that will help you find the most fitting armchair for your living space. Whether you’re looking for a lavish wingback chair, a stylish swivel armchair, or small armchairs to sit neatly around a coffee table, you can browse them all on mrfurnish. Make sure you measure the space where you want your chair to sit and consider the proportions of the rest of your furniture, the size of the room and ceiling height. The arms can vary in width and height and can be contemporary or scrolled. mrfurnish’s collection of armchairs also offers varying back heights; a high back armchair is good for supporting your back for example, whereas a low back is practical for rooms with low ceilings such as an attic space.

When shopping for an armchair you might want to think not just about the upholstery but also about the overall style that you want your chair to have. Fabric armchairs are generally soft in line and come in a bigger range of colours and patterns so if you want to add a splash of colour to an otherwise neutral room or continue a colour theme throughout a room this will do just the trick. Traditional armchairs are brilliant for lounging with soft edges and upholstery. Contemporary armchairs often have straight lines and coloured or patterned fabrics. If you’re looking for a recliner armchair, the master of home comfort, there are a number of recliner chairs in this category.

mrfurnish also have a collection of fun retro armchairs and modern armchairs that come in interesting shapes and colours. Whether you’re after a rustic armchair that you could get lost in it’s so squishy, a stylish Scandinavian chair that will sit well in any neutral décor, or a handsome chesterfield armchair, you’re sure to find the right chair for you at mrfurnish.
