Without the armchair there could be no armchair philosopher, there would be no armchair quarterback, no armchair traveler and there would be no armchair cynic.
There would, in all probability still remain a lazy boy or two, but without an armchair they would have no choice but to rest on their laurels, as any thought of reclining would
be out of the question.
When it comes to the armchair and its role in living room decorating, there are almost as many
styles as there are occupants and verge on the impossible.
From art deco and art nouveau stylings, to rockers, recliners, captain’s chairs, colonial revival, mission style, wing chairs and club chairs
to Adirondack or Muskoka chairs outside, there is no shortage of chairs.

And as with styles there are as many if not more color and upholstery choices. While
solid colors tend to be easier to decorate around, patterned fabrics and upholstery tend to stand up to wear and tear a little better without showing it.
While leather remains a popular upholstery choice, contemporary designs feature microfiber with more and more frequency. For the ultimate in contemporary and
modern armchair design, function is the critical component.
Video chairs, the most recent trend in living room decorating feature hood mounted speakers,
massaging, volume control and ultimately console compatibility.
Home theater seating is also a recent trend and a relatively new role for the amrchair, featuring recliners, loungers and sectionals for the
ultimate in entertainment.
