Leather Chairs

Aesthetically, leather armchairs always look sleek and elegant but they’re super-practical too. At Furniture Village, we use four different types of leather for our leather sofas and leather armchairs. While all are beautiful, our different leather options offer different types of leather character, durability and grain. (You’ll find more information about each type below). Our leather armchairs, including our cream leather armchairs, are a great choice if they’re going to be enjoyed by a growing family for several years. They’re also a good idea if they’re going to be used in a shared house, rental property, or a hectic playroom. For the ultimate in decadence and comfort, you can’t beat a leather reclining armchair. For a more traditional style that whispers exclusive member’s club or secret boudoir, try a Chesterfield style leather armchair. For a modern statement piece, try our leather armchairs with bold colours, including our classic black leather armchairs. Whichever style you choose, if you have a leather armchair, you’re living your best life.

Choosing the right leather armchair

A leather armchair is not just any old armchair. Oh no. A leather armchair is more like a throne – the seat of the king or queen of your castle, grand, luxuriant and voluptuously padded. Of course, the grandest leather armchair of them all is the electric powered leather recliner armchair. You will never tire of showing others how good it feels to own one. If you’re looking for a leather armchair in a more traditional style, then a wingback leather armchair or a Chesterfield-style leather armchair could be the ones for you. These leather armchairs wouldn’t look out of place in a stately home, an exclusive members club, or a luxury 5-star hotel. For something with a retro cool, modern vibe, you should take our leather swivel armchairs for a spin. These leather armchairs look particularly good in a bold colour, like red.

Choosing the right material for your leather armchair

Our designers take great care to find the very best leather, for each leather armchair they create. Naturally every piece of leather is unique but broadly speaking they fall into four different leather types. The first is Family Leather. Uniform in appearance, our family leather armchairs have a protective coating, making them hardwearing and family friendly. It's a great-value, practical choice. The next leather is what we call Club Leather. It’s thick, durable, and strong with a heavier grain definition. It's designed to ensure that your new leather armchair is tough enough to withstand the rigours of a busy lifestyle. Our third leather is called Romance Leather. Featuring a distressed, antiqued finish for a gorgeous lived-in look, your romance leather armchair will be rich in character and like the best romances, it will also improve with age. Our final category of leather is Connoisseur Leather. Made from the finest premium hides, our connoisseur leather armchairs are luxuriously soft and feature characterful natural grain markings.

The finishing touches

A large glass of red, a single malt whiskey or a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The one thing that every leather armchair needs is a table to hold your drink. That console table or coffee table will of course also need a table lamp so you can see and admire your new wall art. Our team of designers and buyers have curated a fabulous range of home furnishings and lighting to suit every style and to specifically go with our range of sofas and leather armchairs. Some people like to have an extra cushion for their back or lap when they’re sitting down and relaxing. If you do too then you’re going to want some of our wonderfully stylish cushions. In fact, once you’ve chosen your perfect leather armchair and your leather sofa too, you’ll find that Furniture Village has everything else you need to turn your living room into the grandest room in the house. And if you’re looking for ideas on how to style, decorate or accessorise your living room, then head to the Furniture Village socials, and especially our Pinterest page, or check out our living room inspiration on this website.

Caring for your new leather armchair

Our leather armchairs have all been built to last and to back that claim up, each one comes with a 20-year structural guarantee, so don’t sit back and admire how stylish they are, sit down and feel how incredibly comfortable they are. We know there’s a good chance that your new leather armchair is going to see some TV dinners and maybe a few parties too, over the course of its lifetime. And with it will come some knocks, some spills and a few too stains. But don’t worry – we factor that into the design and build of everything we make and sell, as well as our structural guarantee. For everything else that you need to know about how to care for your new leather armchair, so that it looks in tip top condition for many years to come, we’ve put together a really useful leather upholstery care guide.
