It is impossible to imagine a cozy living room without such an element of upholstered furniture as an armchair. Usually it is purchased with a sofa as a set, but sometimes as a separate item. An armchair in the living room interior should look organic, fitting into the overall decor in color and texture.
Located in the main room where guests are received, it can create an atmosphere of peace, relaxing warmth and comfort.
Modern chairs have a variety of functions - rocking, lifting, reclining, turning 180 degrees. They can easily unfold and even massage. A correctly selected chair will not only decorate the living room, but also a very functional piece of furniture.
Ideas for every room
Let's look at photos of interesting placement ideas in each room.
Armchair in the living room interior
The decoration of a hall is rarely complete without 1-2 chairs. They are usually located next to the sofa, forming a soft group with a sufficient number of seats. Depending on the size of the room, you can add from one to several armchairs to the sofa. The pair can be identical and located symmetrically or side by side (you can combine them around a coffee table) or consist of 2-3 different accent pieces.

The chair is not just for the living room
Bedroom
Even in a modest-sized bedroom you can find the opportunity to create a reading corner. To do this, just install a small table-stand, a floor lamp, a table lamp or a wall sconce next to a comfortable chair, and a comfortable seating area is ready.
If the bedroom has sufficient square footage, you can not limit yourself to one armchair, but install a couple of comfortable models, equipping the relaxation area or boudoir with a coffee table. Any type of lighting would be useful – from a table lamp to a floor lamp.
In a bedroom with a bay window, it literally “begs” to install a pair of armchairs to organize a comfortable seating area or a guest segment.
Children's room
In a children's room, you can install not only height-adjustable models of chairs for children. In a newborn room, a chair is a must for parents. Most often, models of rocking chairs are chosen, on which it is not only comfortable to sit for relaxation, but also to rock the child before bed. It will also be convenient to install a bean bag chair, which can initially serve as a comfortable place for a nursing mother to relax, and will later be used by the child (for children, such models are recommended by experts as ergonomic and anatomically correct).
Dining room
If your home has a separate room for organizing the dining segment, then it would be a sin not to take advantage of this opportunity and not organize meals under the most convenient conditions. You can use mini armchairs or stools to install around the dining table, or limit yourself to compact models for the smallest sides of a rectangular tabletop.
Cabinet
In an office or workplace area located in a bedroom or living room, a chair can be used not only as an attribute for a desk or computer desk. If the area of the room allows, you can organize a relaxation or negotiation area by installing two (or more) armchairs, a small table-stand and lamps of any modification.
Auxiliary premises
The chair can be installed not only in places of rest, work or creative activities. In utilitarian rooms, such as an entrance hall, corridor, landings and spaces under stairs, chairs can be used quite actively. For example, the space under the stairs can be converted into a reading corner. It is enough to organize a light source next to the chair.
Main characteristics
When choosing the best option for your living room, pay attention to:
Functionality. Decide what role the chair will play in your interior. If it is mainly decorative, then opt for models with interesting designs and original shapes. If you plan to use it to accommodate your guests overnight, a folding model with a high-quality, convenient mechanism will do.
If you plan to sometimes work in the living room, choose a chair with a wooden or metal frame; it will easily fit into the interior of any style.
Filler. It must be of high quality and soft enough to sit comfortably. The latex filler fully possesses these properties.
Upholstery. Fabric upholstery is considered the most pleasant to the touch. Their only drawback is that they quickly lose their appearance. The service life depends on the quality of the fabric. Jacquard, velor, and flock are also practical to use.
Leather models look very presentable, they are more durable, and they are easy to care for. But in the cold season, such a chair will seem cool and will not be comfortable enough.
Landing. The seat should be wide enough and the height should be such that the seated person’s legs bend at an angle of 90 degrees and their feet rest comfortably on the floor.
The seat depth should also be comfortable. Before purchasing, be sure to sit in the chair for a few minutes to assess the degree of comfort of the seat.
In addition to these characteristics, the combination of the chair with other pieces of furniture in the room is important. Choose a model that can organically fit into the style of your living room.
Types of lounge chairs
Currently, the market boasts a large selection of chairs of various configurations. First of all, these are traditional models with rigid fixation of the back and armrests (or without them). There are other interesting options.
Rocking chairs - made of wood, plastic, wicker models are very attractive. They often have soft seats and fabric or leather upholstery.
Rocking chairs are the best option not only for those who need relaxation after a hard day. They will help get rid of insomnia and will be very convenient for mothers with infants, who will be able to rock the baby in them while holding him in their arms.
When choosing armchairs for your living room based on the photo, you will be amazed at the variety of options for such models. Each of them is completely unique and can add special charm and personality to your living room.
Lift chairs are new models on the market and can be useful for people with disabilities. Raising and lowering is carried out only by pressing a button.
In some models, you can adjust the backrest tilt and also recline it. These soft, comfortable chairs look great in any interior.
Wicker chairs - rattan, wicker, bamboo, reed and other environmentally friendly materials are used for their production. They are strong and durable, fit perfectly not only into country interiors, but also into the furnishings of city apartments.
Chaise lounge chairs - most often have a metal frame and soft seats. There are models with a frame made of wood or bamboo.
Massage chairs – these models will be appreciated by people leading a sedentary lifestyle. The chairs have a variety of massage functions; switching modes allows you to massage individual areas with different intensities.
Frameless models - their shapes and sizes can vary significantly. They are products consisting of an inner part with filler (expanded polystyrene) and a cover. Thanks to this filler, they can take any shape and retain your body heat.
Many models are universal - you can not only sit in them, but also lie down. These can be both small chairs and impressively sized products that can support the weight of several adults.
