What armchair to go with this sofa?

[wheresmolly]

I have just taken delivery of this sofa today - an love it: www.argos.co.uk/product/8935782

I now need an armchair to go with it - the room is bare at the moment as I've just moved in and don't have any other living room furniture yet.

I was thinking either one of these but can't decide! Any thoughts?! Or alternatives to consider?

It is an old cottage with white walls and black beams, brick fireplace and mid-grey carpets, to give you a feel for the style of the room.

I'd go with the red, it needs some colour. Although....red and black and white be a bit 80s boy bedroom so possibly a different colour? I do like mustard though that is a bit too everywhere, so maybe a blue or green?

Aah! I clicked on the first and was very disappointed as I was hoping it would be bright, so there's your answer from me. Although honestly I don't like the style and would go for the squarer one, or even the "Alana" armless chair as more of a highlight...

Or this one maybe: www.argos.co.uk/product/8887562

It's to go in this space on the other side of the room, if a photo helps! I just can't visualise what would work, am so brain dead at the moment!

I want it to be an armchair that would be comfy for curling up in to read, rather than just as an occasional chair.

Definitely a wingback. The yellow one is the best out of the ones you've posted.

This is nice

@LokisLover I do like that Ikea one! The blue is nice too.

The Rochester armchair from M&S is nice and comes in different colours, or the Claudia or the Olson from made.com are both good looking.

@ElizabethinherGermanGarden they're nice too but a bit out of my price range (max £250 probably)

The IKEA one is comfy too

Sorry, I didn't read your post properly- the ones you have linked to are great (and a very good price!) and I like the pink one best.

Cross-posted with you - I have been reading house magazines and daydreaming during lockdown. They're out of my price range too! But the ones you've found are lovely, so thank you!

Any nice rectangular rug, side table and floor lamp suggestions also gratefully received! I am totally burnt out from moving (plus preceding break up ) and haven't had any time off from my busy job so I am wiped and can't think straight!

I came to recommend that Ikea one. We've got two, in grey, with the footstools. They're so, so comfortable. I love mine. You can't go wrong with them tbh

Right so that's the chair sorted I think! Just need to work out what to add to the room as it's so sparse and is making me feel sad!

I'd say Dunelm and Ikea if you're on a budget.
I'm crap at putting things together so I copy them.
Also , for slightly unusual things (and chairs) try Homesense, , they have lovely stuff.

Too much grey? I love the mustard yellow (Ikea?) one, or the bright green from Argos....to relieve the overall "neutral" - then you could have rug/ cushions picking up subtly on the mustard or green ..

grey living room ideas an idea of the blend of charcoal and mustard?

I like the Argos yellow one best. At the moment the room is very grey and white and needs something else to balance it.

Our playroom had a perfectly good dark grey carpet when we moved in so I didn't really want to replace it. We painted the walls white and put in an orange sofa and had splashes of orange around the room: cushion, a light and the cord of the pendant light.

For your room I'd add a chair in one of these colours then reference it a couple of times elsewhere: mustard, pink (I'd actually be tempted to paint the walls a light pink and have the chair stronger pink/red), orange, green (again,you could have mint green walls and a darker or brighter green chair). And have a look on Vinterior for a mid century modern armchair so you have something more unique.

Thanks everyone for your input! I've ordered the yellow Argos one: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8887562

It's going to be delivered on Tuesday and I can't wait!

It's going to be lovely 😊
