Comfortable seating for one person

You sit relaxed in your single armchair with the dark green velvet cover, drink a cup of tea and look out of the living room window. The piece of furniture is your personal favorite place and you like to sit here to snuggle up in the soft cushions and relax after a stressful day. The armchair also harmonizes well with the rest of your furnishings. You can find out what types of single armchairs there are and which model suits your living style here:

Solo artists: the special features of single chairs

A place just for you! This is the advantage of a single armchair. This seating is available in various designs, with the frame, material and upholstery being the most important factors.

The frame: from square to curved

Single armchairs have different frame constructions and feet, which have a major influence on the look of the piece of furniture. For example, solid wooden frames, where the cover often reaches the floor, are contrasted with delicate metal constructions where only the seat and backrest are upholstered. The classics include four-legged frames and armchairs where the seat shell is attached to a narrow, funnel-shaped swivel base. With runners, the piece of furniture becomes a rocking chair.

The armrests: helpful support

Armrests securely surround you on both sides and give you a comfortable feeling when sitting. If you put your arms down, your shoulders are also relieved and they provide practical support when you stand up. Armchairs without armrests, on the other hand, offer you more freedom of movement. They are also a little narrower and take up a little less space.

The material: smooth leather or soft cotton

The choice of cover also plays an important role in ensuring that you sit comfortably in your single chair. Below you will find an overview of the most common materials and their properties.

• Leather: Leather armchairs look classy and valuable. The material is robust, durable and easy to clean.
• Velvet: This fabric, which is made from cotton or synthetic fiber, feels pleasantly soft and has an elegant shimmer.
• Fabric: From plain to checked – fabric covers for armchairs come in a variety of designs. Covers made of mixed fabrics are particularly advantageous: cotton is breathable, soft and warm, polyester is particularly durable.
• Rattan: Rattan furniture creates a natural and comfortable living environment. The material is as durable as wood, but more delicate and lighter.

The upholstery: durable with foam and springs

Single armchairs have either cold foam or spring core upholstery. Cold foam adapts individually to your body contours. Spring core upholstery, like a spring core mattress, provides a firm feeling when sitting or lying down. The spiral springs give way while you sit and then return to their original shape.

Switch off and relax: Single armchairs can be found here

Single armchairs don’t stay alone for long, as the seats are in high demand. Here are some ideas on how you can integrate these pieces of furniture into your home.

A single armchair for the living area

Do you need more seating in the living room? Then simply complement your sofa with a single armchair. You can create a harmonious image by matching the style and color of the armchair to your living area. However, you can also deliberately create a contrast to the rest of the interior with your new single-seater. For example, a plush armchair in country house style makes modern furnishings appear warmer and more comfortable.

An armchair for the reading corner

Lean back, relax, read – this works particularly well in a cozy reading corner where there is a comfortable place to sit. How about a classic wing chair, for example? The wide seat, the high backrest and the sides for leaning on in the head area ensure a comfortable sitting experience. A practical addition is an upholstered stool on which you can rest your feet.

A unique piece for the hallway

With a single armchair, you can also make the space under the stairs more comfortable. Since it is a separate area, you have free choice in terms of design and style. An armchair in the hallway also has practical functions, as you can sit down here while putting on your shoes or put your handbag down.

Pure harmony: the right single armchair for your living style

If your furniture is coordinated, a particularly beautiful atmosphere is created. Here you will find inspiring ideas about which single armchair suits which interior design style.

• Modern living style: A single armchair made of black or cognac-colored leather with a high backrest and a chrome-plated metal base underlines a simple and elegant interior. A black leather sofa, a cream-colored deep-pile carpet and a puristic glass table go well with this.
• Scandi living style: A light grey single armchair made of fabric with a low backrest and high, slender legs fits the Nordic style. The bedroom is harmonious with a sleek bed frame made of light wood, patterned wallpaper with a black and white tree motif and a hanging lamp made of rattan.
• Country house style: A high wing chair with a striped or floral cover underlines the rustic country house look. It looks cozy and inviting and goes well with a cream-colored big sofa with quilted back cushions and a solid wooden coffee table.

Conclusion: Single armchairs are a comfortable place just for you

A single armchair is a place where you can sit down and relax in peace. The most important information is summarized here:

• The frame construction, the feet and the upholstery material are sometimes decisive for the appearance of a single armchair . For example, you can choose from wing chairs with a solid wooden frame and striped fabric cover, leather armchairs with a chrome-plated swivel base or simple models made of velvet with delicate metal legs.
• Single armchairs can either be integrated into an existing living area, harmoniously form the centrepiece of a reading corner or be a practical living element in the hallway under the stairs.
• If you have modern furnishings, a black leather armchair with a chrome-plated metal base is a good choice. A simple single armchair in light colors suits the Scandi style, while a large wing chair with striped upholstery suits the country house look.
