Retro armchair for the living room

A living room often has a large sofa and a comfortable upholstered armchair. The retro style pieces are perfect because they bring style and character to a living room and allow you to add your own personality. When we decide to buy an armchair for the living room, we focus on several points. The first one is the look and functionality. We believe that a retro-style armchair should not only be comfortable but will also give a practical function in the living room too. The ideal armchair is one that combines all your needs. Our retro armchairs are perfect for any interior and available for any budget. Because genuine vintage furniture can sometimes be little pricey, our retro style chairs will give you the look that you want at a more affordable price. And because we make everything to order, you get a greater choice of styles, fabrics, colours and finishes too. 

Modern retro armchairs for the bedroom 

The modern retro armchair has been very popular for many years now. The style fits in to a variety of different interiors and rooms, in particular the bedroom. We have a lot of customers who look to the bedroom for peace and sanctuary and not just a place to sleep. The retro armchair can achieve this with it’s simple lines – perfect for minimalist interiors. This is a piece of furniture, which as well as being very comfortable, is all about design and therefore looks great in the bedroom, adding interest and colour to your space. Its sophisticated form is available in a number of eye-catching and interesting colours, which means you can easily find something to fit with your décor. Whether you prefer a chic contemporary grey, a softer blush pink or a bold mustard; combined with todays modern fabrics, there is a fantastic selection to choose from.

Comfortable armchair hand made in a choice of upholstery fabrics

When choosing your retro armchair, the upholstery fabric you choose is especially important. Whilst velvet is still the most popular choice, it is worth considering flat weaves and wool-look fabrics. All offer something different and unique for your interior. The most important thing is to focus on is the properties of the material from which the armchair is made. It is important it has good abrasion resistance, as this is what will keep your chair looking good for a long time. Think about where it will sit in your room – does it gets lots of natural light? Looking at fabric swatches first and considering them in your own home before making your decision, is vital to ensure you make the right choice. If you have pets at home, the more vulnerable your furniture can be to damage. Our fabrics are of the highest quality and whilst no fabric will withstand the most determined of destructive pets, the materials we use are high quality and perform really well. Some of our chairs feature exquisite detailing such as decorative stitching, button back and piping. These additional features further enhance the armchairs visual appeal.

Mid-century style armchairs

Retro armchairs are often inspired by the mid-century styles, which covers the period from the 1930’s to the 1960’s. This was a period when design was key but without compromising on comfort. The Scandinavian classics are perfect examples of this and offer a well-shaped, wide seat often with wooden details, such as the arms, legs, or frame. The height of the arm rests is well considered too, to offer greater comfort and support. A retro style armchair offers timeless design, which is one of the reasons they continue to be extremely popular in recent years. In an uncertain climate it is natural to look for the reassurance of the familiar.

Accomplishing a makeover can therefore be achieved promptly and efficiently without compromise.
