Redesigning or redecorating your home can be tough since there are so many different trends to choose from. I tend to gravitate toward the classics since they’ll look amazing in any home. I simply adore traditional pieces like classic upholstered armchairs since they look fabulous paired with leather furniture, upholstered sofas, sectionals and that’s just the beginning. There’s nothing quite like a gorgeous statement-making armchair in a living room or family room. I own a couple of recliners that are quite the showstoppers. They always garner compliments and are my favorite items in my living room.
Upholstered armchairs can make decorating rooms like your living room or bedroom much easier as they will complement nearly every popular trend. Interior design styles come and go, but classic furniture is here to stay. Like you, I’d rather splurge on one gorgeous item that I know I will love for years than buy a trendy inexpensive furniture item that I’ll grow tired of once it’s no longer popular.
Today, I’m excited to share 20 of the best classic upholstered armchairs that will look fabulous in any home regardless of style! You can pair them with rustic, contemporary, modern, leather, coastal, farmhouse, and glamorous pieces. The best part is many of them are on sale for a limited time.
