Matching armchairs: making the right choice to furnish your living room

The combination of the armchairs you decide to prepare in your living room is not always an easy operation. The living room is undoubtedly the most important and representative environment of your home: the space in which to receive your guests and in which to spend beautiful moments of sharing with your family.

The seating area is the focal point of the living room environment; for this reason it is extremely important to design this area as accurately as possible.

Let's see together how best to match the armchairs in the living room.

Choice and combination of armchairs for living area

In the living area of a house we usually find a sofa, a coffee table, a nice rug and the middle area. For the choice and matching of the seating area it is first of all important to know how to quantify one's own spaces.

In environments characterised by discreetly large dimensions, it is possible to insert a large sofa in the seating area, also with a modern and contemporary style peninsula, with an armchair and a footrest (possibly with pouf or integrated).

In environments characterised by smaller dimensions it is better to limit oneself to the choice of a single sofa characterised by a compact design. Alternatively you can decide to place only armchairs in your spaces.

Living area lighting

When matching the seating to be arranged in the living area, it is very important to pay due attention to the lighting: the position of the seating area must be decided by making the most of natural lighting, to be integrated with artificial lighting, perhaps with the help of floor lamps or reading lamps to be used in moments of relaxation.

Covering of sofas and armchairs

Usually sofas or armchairs with fabric upholstery are chosen for the seating area, due to the presence of animals in the house or small children that could ruin or scratch the leather or eco-leather. Among the most popular covers today are natural coverings such as wool, cotton, linen and the aforementioned leather.

Those who have small children may decide to opt for stain-resistant and waterproof synthetic coverings, especially for sofas and armchairs with non-removable covers.

Often and willingly the choice of armchair or armchairs is coordinated with the sofa. However, there is nothing to prevent a breath of fresh air with the addition of an armchair with a completely different upholstery and structure from that of the sofa: one idea could be, for example, to prepare an armchair with a Scandinavian design in your living room. Robbiate armchair is a beautiful element with frame in solid ash wood stained natural and seat in multicoloured patch. With this furniture you will surely be able to give great personality to your rooms.

How to furnish the living area with sofas and armchairs

With the arrival of the summer season there are many people who dedicate themselves to the meticulous cleaning of their living spaces and sometimes to a restyling of their stay. Designing a new living room is certainly not a simple undertaking, especially as regards the choice of furnishing elements for the seating area.

Here are some more important tips on how to correctly match your living room furniture. One of the furnishing elements of great trend in recent years is certainly the sofa with storage peninsula: this accessory offers us the possibility to contain inside it blankets, pillows and other accessories perfect for the bed-sofa combination.

The sofa-bed represents a particularly requested piece of furniture, as it is extremely useful to welcome guests, if you are not lucky enough to have a room to use for this purpose.

Very often in the renewal of one's own spaces one decides to purchase only one piece of furniture that will have to be combined with a pre-existing one. How to combine a sofa with an armchair in this case, if one of the two elements is old? Or how to combine two different armchairs? The first thing to do is to try to buy the new seat as close as possible to the furniture we intend to leave in our spaces. Alternatively, a decidedly economical solution is to use a common cover sheet: the cover sheets are optimal solutions to create the desired style effect without the slightest effort and at extremely limited costs.

Sofas and armchairs: how to combine them with style

On the subject of matching a sofa and an armchair, the matching represents a classic furnishing solution that never goes out of fashion. This style of furniture is perfect for those who want to furnish their living area in a classic way: the coordinated is also an excellent opportunity for those who want to create a corner of harmony, so as to give themselves a space where to live their moments of relaxation.

For those who want to opt for a coordinated combination, it is good to suggest that this type of combination provides the availability of relatively large spaces. Another important suggestion is to make an effort to play with the colours and shades of cushions and curtains, so as to break the typical static nature of a coordinated combination.

In general we can say that in the combination of a sofa with two armchairs there is no limit to imagination and creativity: even in the case of a living room with different armchairs. In this regard, an excellent idea of combination could be to choose a sofa and armchairs that differ according to shape or colour, but are absolutely in line in terms of style and design. This technique often and willingly represents the maximum expression of a matching sofa and armchair.

Creative armchair and sofa matching

Combining armchairs and sofa in a creative way sometimes means deciding to give more importance to a particular element. For example, you can prepare a velvet sofa in your living room characterised by particularly bright colours and combine it with a wicker armchair.

Obviously in this case it is important not to go overboard with the arrangement of other elements, in order to avoid breaking the creative harmony that you will have created in your living room. Our suggestion is therefore to opt for the choice of light coloured curtains and coffee tables characterised by a simple and linear style.

Creativity also means playing with colours and choosing, for example, an armchair that from a chromatic point of view clearly prevails over the sofa. In these circumstances you can opt for a seat with a vintage design that is expressed in particularly bright and vivid colours, such as yellow or orange.

The choice of the colours of your furniture offers you a great opportunity to express your creativity and to create a living space with considerable flair and personality. You will also be able to decide for a co-ordinated design with different tones of the same colour. In this case it is best to prefer colours that are not too bright.
