Should I get an armchair or a sofa?

First things first, consider the space you want to be sitting in. What does the space do? How big is the space? The difference between a sofa and armchair is function and size after all!Space is a huge consideration when it comes to furniture, obviously a sofa is bigger than an armchair - so for a smaller space, go for an armchair. If you’re looking for a piece for your living room, but you haven’t got the space, a two seater sofa is perfect.

Does my armchair have to match my sofa?

The great news is that there are not really any rules when it comes to mixing and matching sofas with armchairs. In fact, the key to success might even lie in experimentation. A bold mix of colours, patterns and fabrics in a range of design styles can have just as much impact as a carefully selected mix of stylish mid-century sofas.

What are the different types of armchairs?

When it comes to shopping for a modern armchair, there are many different styles and types you can choose. If you’re struggling to decide on a particular armchair style, we’ve put together this guide of 14 different armchair types that are incredibly popular and will suit a range of different home decor styles to help inspire you.
