Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between an armchair and an accent chair?

A.

In short, an arm chair is typically added for functional use, and an accent chair for style. An armchair is designed primarily for comfort and everyday seating, featuring supportive armrests and upholstered cushioning. An accent chair, on the other hand, is often chosen to add style and personality to a room while still providing additional seating.

Q. Are recliner chairs good for everyday use?

A.

Recliner chairs are designed for comfort and relaxation, making them ideal for everyday use. With manual or power reclining options, they allow you to adjust the position of the chair for better support while sitting or resting. Not sure what type of recliner you require? Come in to one of our stores where we can advice you further, and you can try diffrent options out for yourself.

Q. What are the benefits of a swivel chair?

A. Swivel chairs allow you to rotate easily without moving the whole chair.

Q. Can armchairs be matched with sofas?

A.

In most cases, yes. Most of our armchairs are designed to complement matching sofas, creating a coordinated look in your living room. Alternatively, accent chairs can be used to introduce a contrasting style, colour, or texture.

Q. Which type of chair is best for relaxing?

A.

Recliner chairs and swivel chairs with footstools are popular choices for relaxation, as they allow you to lean back, stretch out, and adjust your seating position comfortably.

Q. What is a standard footstool?

A.

A standard footstool provides a comfortable place to rest your feet and can also offer extra seating when needed. Common types include pouffes, benches, and ottomans, available in various sizes, fabrics, leathers, and colours to complement your sofa and décor.

Q. How is a storage footstool different from a standard footstool?

A.

A storage footstool combines comfort with practicality. In addition to functioning as a footrest or extra seat, it includes hidden storage to keep blankets, magazines, or everyday clutter neatly organised—ideal for smaller living spaces.

Q. What is a banquette footstool?

A.

A banquette footstool is a larger, often longer footstool that can double as extra seating, or even a low table. Its generous size makes it perfect for providing both style and functionality.

Q. Do footstools come in different shapes and sizes?

A.

Yes absolutely. Footstools come in a range of shapes—including square, rectangular, round, and pouffe-style—and sizes to suit different needs, room layouts, and décor styles.
