Bedroom armchair: how to make the right choice for your furnishing needs?

In today’s most up-to-date interior design, the modern bedroom  is no longer interpreted as the place dedicated exclusively to sleep, but is the space in which one can take time for oneself. In other words, it is also conceived as the area of the house where one can carve out an oasis of tranquillity and relaxation.

It is therefore not an outlandish idea to purchase a bedroom armchair. In addition to enhancing the aesthetics of the room, such a piece of furniture offers great comfort and makes it easy to personalise the space.

Why add a bedroom armchair?

From an aesthetic point of view, an armchair that is consistent with the rest of the furniture can ideally complete the interior design of the bedroom, giving the room a touch of style and personality. Armchairs for the bedroom are made in many different materials, styles and designs, so anyone can find the perfect armchair to match the rest of the furniture and create a room with a coherent and cosy atmosphere.

Those who decide to buy a bedroom armchair do so not only for aesthetic reasons: the comfort provided by this furniture is often the main motivation for people to make such a decision.

An armchair upholstered with high-quality materials, for example, offers a comfortable seat in which to sit and read a book, watch TV or simply relax after a long day. It is an invitation to take time out, pamper yourself and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The armchair also helps to create an intimate atmosphere in the bedroom. In particular, this corner of relaxation can become one’s own private refuge, i.e. the space in which one can find the quiet necessary to concentrate on oneself, meditate or reflect.

When one chooses to furnish with a designer armchair, one must not forget that the desire to have an original and sophisticated piece of furniture also plays an important role.

Where to place the bedroom armchair?

If you want to place an armchair in your bedroom, the choice of where to place the piece of furniture becomes strategic, since it can make the difference in maximising the comfort and functionality of the entire room’s furnishings.

One option to consider is to place the armchair next to the bed. If in particular the room is large enough, this solution is a good idea to concentrate moments of relaxation in the bed area and to create a synergy between the design of the bed and that of the armchair.

Those who have chosen to purchase a bedroom armchair, so as to create a quiet corner in which to stop and read or listen to their favourite music, may consider placing the armchair near the desk area.

Another solution to consider is to place the armchair next to the wardrobe. In this way, a comfortable support point is created when getting ready to go out or when changing clothes. In other words, the armchair becomes the ideal place to put on your shoes or put the finishing touches to your outfit.

Those lucky enough to have a window with a panoramic view can place the armchair in front of it and enjoy the landscape in comfort. With such an arrangement, one can relax in front of the panorama while sipping one’s coffee in the early morning or when indulging in a few minutes of relaxation with a mid-afternoon cup of tea.

What are the best tips on how to choose a bedroom armchair?

Choosing the perfect bedroom armchair requires attention to detail and an eye for style. First of all, consider the overall design of the room and look for an armchair that blends harmoniously with the existing furniture. For a touch of elegance, designer armchairs with clean, refined lines are an excellent choice.

As far as combinations are concerned, it is preferable to opt for fabrics and carpets that harmonise with the shade of the armchair. If the armchair is neutral in tone, you can play with brighter colours in textiles such as cushions, blankets or carpets. Conversely, if the armchair is already bold, you can choose more sober fabrics to create a visual balance between the different elements of the furniture.

The choice of material for the bedroom armchair is crucial for comfort and style. Soft, velvety fabrics add a touch of luxury, while natural or synthetic leathers lend elegance and ease of cleaning. It should be considered that colours can also influence the atmosphere of the room: light shades such as white or beige can expand the space, while darker shades such as charcoal grey or midnight blue can add intimacy.
