Decorating your home is always a mix of feelings that range from pleasure to the anxiety of choosing the ideal piece in a matter of seconds. The
armchair is a wildcard piece that can be present in
various environments – in the
bedroom , in the
living room , in the
home office, etc. But how to choose this piece of furniture correctly? Perfect for bringing elegance and comfort, the armchair needs to be chosen taking some care into consideration. Architect
Sabrina Salles , from
CASACOR , believes that "choosing the right furniture for your home has everything to do with the environment where it will be placed". Below, she gives tips on
perfect models for different spaces !

In large spaces, it is possible to opt for furniture in larger and even exaggerated proportions, such as the
Poltrona Mole , by
Sergio Rodrigues - one of the architect's favorite design pieces.

She also recommends using two pieces, side by side, to create a perfect living space for entertaining.
And for small spaces?

Still, it is important to evaluate the size of the space to ensure that the seat does not compromise circulation.

When it comes to
choosing an armchair , some models may be better suited to one space and not so much to another. For the living room, the architect recommends looking for
densely upholstered pieces so that visitors don't sink.

In TV rooms, the
model chosen must be very comfortable and extremely ergonomic . The ideal armchair for a movie theater is softer, hugs and accommodates perfectly for a movie.

In balcony projects, it is very common to include armchairs and furniture for
outdoor activities to bring more comfort and elegance. In addition to the conventional model, Sabrina Salles highlights the trend of
suspended armchairs ; Since, as the environment is designed for relaxation, you can choose more relaxed models, with
different colors, weaves and textures .
Most comfortable rooms

Synonymous with comfort, the rooms can have armchairs to relax before bed, read a book and enjoy a more intimate moment. "In the bedroom or even in the closet, the armchair is used as
a support for putting on shoes , but that doesn't mean it needs to be boring. After all, it needs to be comfortable to spread out on to read a good book or spend hours on your cell phone", concludes.
