An armchair is defined as a comfortable, cushioned chair with support for your arms while you sit. You may picture an armchair in a living room, but they can add personality and function to other rooms like an office or a bedroom. 

A common practice is to place armchairs in pairs, which adds intimacy and an opportunity to create conversation areas. Although when you find an interesting and unique armchair, you may only find one available, that is ok too because that chair will make a stunning statement in the room. 

Where can you find a beautiful armchair to accentuate your space? Here are my top 5 statement chairs to get you started...

Organic Driftwood Armchair

This chair is built of solid cape lilac mahogany, hand-carved in a branching twig pattern with a driftwood finish. Mahogany is a renewable resource because the tree crops can be replanted and later harvested. 

Inspired by French garden furniture, this chair's natural and neutral tones make it a suitable accent chair in many rooms. For example, this chair could work as a pair of chairs in an office, around a table in a sunny breakfast room, or in a guest room. This chair is definitely a conversation piece. Get it here.

Mid-Century Modern Crafted Armchair

Comfort and style are synonymous in this striking armchair. It has a 100% handcrafted natural teak frame designed with mid-century modern inspired lines. The seat includes peeled rattan, minimalistic chic tapered legs and arms, and soft white cotton cushions. 

Because of its warm tones and craftsmanship, I can see this chair in a transitional setting and a modern home. It could be used as a pair in a conversational setting or on its own to add seating and interest to a living room. 

Be aware of the low seat height: 10.5". If your back or knees are starting to go like mine, you may think of it as an artful accent piece. Get it here.

Turnsole Armchair

This beautiful chair adds comfort in a contemporary style. The white turnsole frame armchair with white faux fur cushions brings the perfect finish to a living room setting or the seating area in a master suite. Its sleek design and neutral color make it a match for any setting.

Did you know that the term turnsole comes from the plant this wood comes from? The plant is native to coastal Mediterranean countries, and it "turns" to face the sun. Because turnsole is a natural material, subtle differences in color or texture may add to this chair's uniqueness. Get it here.

Drifted Oak Armchair

This unique chair has sculpted arms of drifted oak emerging from a shaggy, cream-colored seating of Mongolian fur. Doesn’t that sound scrumptious? This chair makes me want to make a cup of coffee or tea and read a great book.  

You may choose to place this fabulous chair on its own. It would be beautiful in any room, and it would shine for its uniqueness and texture. Get it here. 

Cognac Leather Armchair

This beautiful natural leather armchair is a cozy lounge chair that your guests will want to sit in for hours, that is, if you let them get to it first. As I mentioned earlier, some armchairs are roomy enough for you to snuggle up in them, and this chair definitely lends itself to that.

Short iron legs boast mid-century design, while a warm leather finish accentuates the chair's fine quality. You can choose to use this chair as a pair, solo, or if you absolutely love its style and comfort, you can pair this armchair with this collection's leather sofa for a smooth look in your living room. Get it here. 

Chairs can absolutely add function and style with a touch of your personality to your space; that is what design is all about, adding your vision and your story to your room.
