The beauty of the Duresta at Furniture Village collections is that there’s something for every home and every family. These extensive collections perfectly balance traditional and iconic details like scroll arms and turned wood legs with the kind of comfort that’s precisely in tune with modern living.

What’s the best way to style a Duresta armchair?

A Duresta chair – whether it’s a large armchair, a wingback chair or an accent chair – is often the epitome of classic English style. A Duresta wing chair, in particular, will display all the hallmarks of traditional furniture style, such as scrolled arms, winged sides, a high back and turned legs. Yet even though the look might be traditional, Duresta chairs are very much designed for modern homes with the emphasis equally on comfort and style. You’ll find deep and wide seats, luxurious cushioning and fabulous upholstery fabrics, all of which makes it remarkably easy to accent your new Duresta chair. Opt for velvet cushions and super-soft wool throws for a more contemporary and cosier feel, or stay with tradition and introduce a bolster cushion – the traditional elongated rectangular-shaped cushion. Whatever you decide, we think one of the best ways to style a Duresta chair is simply by adding a Duresta footstool.
