How to use an armchair as a statement piece in your living room

Transform your living room by choosing an armchair with a bold and unique design, whether it’s a vibrant hue, an intricate pattern, or an unconventional silhouette. This will instantly draw attention and add personality to your space. To balance the look, pair it with a complementary sofa. Choose a neutral-toned sofa for contrast or a complementary color to create harmony in your living room.

Anchor your seating area with a coffee table that ties the look together. A minimalist coffee table works well to let the armchair shine, while a sculptural one adds to the visual drama. Finally, enhance the space with carefully chosen lighting. Place a floor or table lamp next to the armchair to highlight it. Soft, focused lighting can accentuate the armchair’s design and make it a cozy spot to relax.
