What is a grey armchair?

A grey armchair is a single upholstered chair finished in grey, designed for one person to sit comfortably. It can serve as an extra seat beside a sofa, a dedicated reading chair, a bedroom chair or an accent piece. Grey works as a neutral, so it pairs with almost any colour scheme.

What types of grey armchair are available?

Common styles include accent or occasional chairs chosen for their look, wingback and high-back chairs with tall sides for extra support, wider cuddle or snuggle chairs, and reclining armchairs with a movable backrest and footrest. The styles carried vary by range, so check the individual product page for the model you like.

What materials do grey armchairs come in?

Depending on the model, grey armchairs may be available in fabric, velvet, Leather Aire or genuine leather. Velvet suits grey particularly well, as the pile catches the light and adds depth. Check the individual product page for the exact material options on each chair.

Which shade of grey should I choose?

Match the undertone to your room — cooler greys lean blue and feel contemporary, while warmer greys lean beige and feel cosier. A lighter grey keeps a room airy but shows marks more readily; a charcoal grey is bolder and more forgiving of wear. View the shade in person if you can, as grey shifts under different lighting.

What size space do I need for a grey armchair?

An armchair only needs a small footprint, which makes it easy to add seating without taking up much room. Measure the space where the chair will sit, leave room to get in and out comfortably, and compare against the dimensions on the product page. For reclining models, allow extra clearance for the footrest and backrest.

How do I clean a grey armchair?

Care depends on the material. Genuine leather and Leather Aire can be wiped with a clean, slightly damp cloth, with leather benefiting from occasional conditioning. Fabric and velvet should be vacuumed regularly and spills blotted immediately with a dry cloth rather than rubbed; with velvet, brush the pile back in one direction so it sits evenly.

Does a grey armchair show marks?

This depends on the shade. A lighter grey shows everyday marks and spills more readily and suits lower-traffic spots, while a darker charcoal grey hides marks far better and is more practical for heavy use. Darker greys do show light-coloured pet hair more clearly, which a lint roller manages easily.

Are grey armchairs pet-friendly?

This depends mainly on the material. Genuine leather and Leather Aire tend to be easier to wipe clean around pets than fabric or velvet, which can hold onto hair more. Darker greys show light pet hair more clearly, so a lint roller is handy. Keeping claws trimmed and cleaning up promptly helps any material stay looking its best.

How long does a grey armchair last?

Grey armchairs are built for everyday use, with the same construction standards across the range regardless of colour. With regular, appropriate care for the material you choose, they are made to stand up to normal use. See the individual product page for the specific build details of the model you are considering.

What is the difference between an armchair and an accent chair?

An armchair is any single chair with arms, chosen for comfort as well as looks, while an accent chair is picked mainly to add style to a room and may focus less on long lounging. Many chairs are both. Choose a supportive high-back or wingback for long sitting, or an accent style if the chair is mostly there to complete a look.
