What sets an armchair apart from other chairs?

Some chairs simply fill a spot. An armchair changes how that spot feels.

With generous padding and built-in support, armchairs offer more comfort than occasional chairs or standard lounge chairs. They’re a clear step up when you want more than a quick seat, perfect for reading, relaxing or unwinding after work.

You’ll find them in every kind of space across Australia, from Perth apartments to Melbourne living rooms and Sydney home office corners. While recliners go fully laid-back, armchairs hold their own as the comfort upgrade you’ll use every day.

Qualities every top armchair shares

Not every armchair earns a place in your home. The best ones tick off comfort, quality and flexibility in equal measure.

Before you choose, think about what will matter day in, day out:

• Reliable support – A sturdy frame and proper structure stop sagging and keep you upright.
• Comfort that lasts – Cushioned seats and supportive arms make long sits more relaxing.
• Versatile style – Swivel armchairs and neutral designs work well as extra seating in any Australian space.

How to find your next standout chair

The right armchair can tie a room together or make it feel more relaxed. Think about these key details before you decide:

• Room size: Check the space you’re working with and leave enough room to move around it.
• Lifestyle needs: Think about how often you’ll use it and whether a swivel chair adds more flexibility.
• Upholstery: Look for fabrics that suit your home and can handle everyday use.
• Style and texture: Try boucle or leather if you want something with a bit more character.

Features that bring next-level comfort

A great-looking chair is only part of the story. These comfort features make everyday use more enjoyable and help you stay relaxed for longer.

• Cushion fill – Soft but supportive to keep its shape and feel over time.
• Armrest design – Shaped for resting arms without straining shoulders.
• Seat depth – Deeper seats offer more room to relax and unwind.
• Back support – Helps you sit comfortably without slouching during longer use.

Best-loved armchair styles to suit any room

There’s no single look that works for every home, which is why variety matters. From soft and laid-back to bold and structured, every style brings something different to the room.

These are just some of the styles you’ll come across:

• Swivel chairs: A smart choice for flexible spaces or anywhere you want easy movement.
• Fabric armchairs: Soft, practical and easy to match with existing furniture.
• Modern tub shapes: Ideal for bedrooms or small lounge areas where space is tight.
• Plush lounge styles: Perfect for long sits and weekend movie sessions in the living room.
• Accent chairs: Bring in shape or colour to lift a hallway, study or spare corner.

Which fabrics and finishes last the longest?

Some finishes look great on day one but don’t hold up over time. Picking the right material means less upkeep and longer-lasting comfort.

Fabric armchairs are soft and breathable, while leather-look options are easy to wipe clean. Velvet armchairs add texture but may need a bit more care to keep them looking fresh. Genuine leather is the most durable, ageing well with regular use and the occasional clean.

How wide and deep should your armchair be?

Material matters, but so does fit. Even the best fabric won’t help if the chair feels too bulky or too small for your space.

Most armchairs range from 75 to 100 cm wide, with seat heights between 40 and 50 cm. Bigger styles like a wingback can feel grand but need more space around them. Always check the width and depth to keep the room feeling open and balanced.

Smart placement tips for extra comfort and flow

Where you place your armchair can change how a room feels and how you use it. A few small tweaks can turn any corner into a comfortable, useful spot.

Try these easy ways to bring more comfort and flow into your space:

• Place an armchair near a window with a floor lamp and side tables to build a relaxed reading nook.
• Pair a compact chair with ottomans or coffee tables to create balance near larger 6-seater sofas or a chaise.
• Add soft layers like throws, cushions and homewares to tie it into your existing home decor.
• In a guest room, set an accent chair beside a sofa bed for extra function without taking up space.
• Keep traffic paths clear and allow enough room to move around the armchair without bumping other furniture.
