Leather Armchairs
Leather Armchairs
Nothing is as luxurious as an armchair upholstered with leather. Smooth, pleasant to touch surface, thickly padded seat and wide selection of additional features - that's what makes this category of furniture stand out.
Genuine and Faux Leather Chairs (and which one)?
While it is more expensive that other, getting a leather (and faux leather) armchair is worth the money. Why? Take a look at the pros.
Leather:- More durable than other materials
- Hypoallergenic - dust mittens won't stick to them as much as to polyester upholsteries
- Leather upholstery is breathable
- Much more luxurious than a faux leather
- Requires less maintenance than real leather
- Can be dyed to achieve a variety of colours
- Cruelty-free - it is not created from animals' hide
- Stains can be removed with just a damp cloth
- More durable than polyester or velvet
- Cheaper than real leather
As you can see, both materials share some similar traits - they're both durable and can last for many years, so it comes down to preferences - if you're looking for something far more luxurious, select real leather upholstery!
Armchairs with Extra Features
But that's not all to choose from! Besides the upholstery, there are quite a few additional functions and features that your new armchair can have. Other than that, you'll also need to think about the overall design of the armchair, since there are various options to select from.
Let's start with features first. A handful of armchairs comes with reclining function, meaning that their backrest can be lowered, so that you can lie down comfortably, and enjoy your favourite book or TV show. Alongside that, these armchairs are often completed by a footrest or footstool.
What's the difference between them? That's quite simple - footstool is an additional item that comes with the armchair, and is not connected to it in any way. The footrest is an integral part of the armchair, and is usually connected to the reclining part of the armchair - is the backrest goes down, the footrest goes up, so that you can lie almost flat.
Some armchairs are also equipped with swivel function, which lets you turn the seat around. Fancy turning around from the TV to the window? You don't have to get up, move the armchair - just turn your body around, and the chair will follow.
And that's not the end of the amazing functions! Plenty of armchairs are also rigged with massage function. Sit down in your chair after a long day, turn on the power, and enjoy yourself, while the armchair does its magic. What's more, they're often heated, so that you'll be warm even in the coldest of winters!
Modern, Chesterfield or Wingback Chair?
Now let's focus on the second point - the overall look. Keep in mind that some functions may not be present in some types of the armchairs. What are the options?
If you're looking for something sophisticated or glamorous, go for a Chesterfield armchair. Their timeless design - scroll armrests, tufted upholstery and a square seat - makes them stand out and fit into a variety of interiors.
If you want to upgrade your home office, select an executive chair. They are characterized by tall backrest, curved armrests and are equipped with castors, so that you can move around the room without leaving the chair. In case you want something for your living room, why not go for a club or wingback chair? They will quickly become a focal point of your living areas thanks to their eye-catching design
No matter which one you will choose, as long as it fits your needs, you'll get yourself a stylish piece of furniture, that will last you for many years and will enhance your interior greatly.
