How to Choose a Timeless Heritage Armchair

And if you’re thinking of adding a feature chair to your living room or bedroom, then consider an occasional or accent chair. We decided to feature our favourite classic vintage chairs - the Charlotte, Eden, Ascott, and Darlington – which have the wow factor for anyone at any age. Read on!

Charlotte - classic simplicity

Simplicity has always been a pillar for great design and the Charlotte armchair takes this to the next level. A classic vintage compact recliner that will blend in easily with virtually any interior design. Covered in a neutral fabric, you can choose between warm pumice and cooler grey, making this an ideal choice for matching to most living room colour palettes. But let’s not limit its usage; this comfy armchair can equally be used in the bedroom for nursing.

Eden - tartan joy

One of our top sellers due to the range of gorgeous tartan covers, the Eden is the perfect hybrid of traditional and modern design. A classic armchair shape has been brought into the 21st century and it has a little secret too. As well as its compact size, this feature chair has a hidden recliner function. Ideal for smaller modern homes, add the Eden to a living space to provide an accent piece to offset an existing furniture suite or furnishing style. Enjoy!

Ascott - royal wingback

With its regal name, The Ascott is a traditional-looking armchair with a classic wingback style that never dates. Another compact design with a discrete recline function, use as a feature chair or to blend in with existing furniture. Due to its neutral fabric upholstery, the Ascott would suit a range of décor styles - from contemporary to minimalist to Victoriana. Think fireside reading, snugs or a super-comfy, bedroom nursing chair for the early hours.

Darlington - deeply comfortable

The Darlington is a bold and beautiful feature armchair, especially if you choose the stunning blue upholstery model. All of our chairs have soft foam padding, but this chair has deep padding for extra comfort. It also has a simple push back recline function, so you can take a quick nap after a busy day. A classic armchair with a modern twist, you will sink back for hours as the Darlington envelopes your body for true relaxation.

All of the above models can be used as living room, occasional, accent or nursing chairs. And they all work just as well in modern interiors, as they do within a more retro or traditional home setting. Simply mix and match your favourite design and fabric colour to your existing interior décor scheme. Size-wise, each chair is the ideal choice for smaller homes and apartments. So, you can add a little comfort to your life without worrying about space issues.

These classic armchairs will look great for years to come in a wide variety of settings, due to their timeless designs. No matter if you’re young or young at heart, why not introduce some character into your home with these classic vintage chairs?
