Armchairs & accent chairs

Armchairs to put your feet up

Every home needs a place to sit back, put your feet up and relax. For some, it’s the bed. For others, it might be the sofa. For you, it could be a new, luxurious armchair.

In our selection, you’ll find comfortable, stylish, indulgent and modest armchairs to suit your needs. Most are available in multiple sizes, styles, designs and colors.

The many different types of armchair

The different types of armchairs can serve many purposes in your home. A tub chair or contemporary armchair can be a perfect complement to your sofa arrangement. A wing back or high back armchair can create a great reading spot, with a strategically positioned floor lamp placed beside it.  A small armchair that is easy to move is perfect for offering some extra seating when you have guests over.  And a classical rocking chair can be the perfect place to sit when knitting a nice long scarf.

Recliner chairs for extra comfort

Are you looking to create the ultimate spot to relax in your home? See our recliner chairs. With a recliner chair you can easily adjust the backrest to accommodate your needs. Sit up when enjoying a magazine or a good book and lay down when you want to rest your eyes or take a nap.

How to take care of your armchair

Accidents happen. And spilling food or drink in an armchair could leave an irritating stain in the fabric. To combat this, several of our armchairs and recliners have a removable cover, which mean you can just throw it in the washing machine to remove the stain.

If your chair doesn't have removable covers, you can try cleaning the stain with a damp cloth. Use together with some upholstery shampoo for particularly stubborn stains. Once you've found your new armchair, make sure to read the care instructions for more tips on how to take care of it.

Add cushions and blankets

To maximize the comfort with your armchair, add a cushion and a soft, warm blanket to cuddle up in. We have cushions and cushion covers in different sizes, colors and patterns. Our comfy blankets and throws also come in different styles, so everyone can find one matching their armchair and recliner.
