What is an armchair?


An armchair is a single-seat chair with armrests designed to provide comfortable individual seating. Armchairs can be used as standalone accent pieces or paired with sofas and sectionals to create a complete living room seating arrangement.

What is the difference between an armchair and an accent chair?


An armchair typically refers to a chair with armrests, while an accent chair is a broader design term for a standalone chair intended to add seating, style, or visual interest to a room. Many accent chairs are also armchairs, so the terms can overlap.

Are leather armchairs durable?


Leather can be a durable upholstery choice for everyday seating when properly cared for. Abbyson offers several leather armchairs, including options made with top-grain and nubuck leather.

What is a swivel chair?


A swivel chair is designed to rotate around its base, allowing you to turn and face different directions without moving the chair itself. Swivel chairs can be particularly useful in living rooms, conversation areas, bedrooms, and reading spaces.

Are armchairs good for small living rooms?

Yes. Because an armchair provides individual seating without the footprint of a sofa or sectional, it can be a practical choice for smaller living rooms and apartments. Measure the available space and compare it with the chair's dimensions before purchasing.

How do I style an armchair in my living room?


Place an armchair beside a sofa or sectional to create a balanced seating arrangement. You can coordinate the chair with your existing furniture or intentionally introduce a contrasting color, material, or texture to create an accent.

What is the difference between an armchair and a recliner?

An armchair is primarily defined by its individual seating design and armrests, while a recliner includes a mechanism that allows the chair to recline. Some armchairs can also be recliners, combining traditional accent-chair styling with reclining functionality.
