The triple armchair is the absolute protagonist of the living space, a central element around which our home life revolves. If we are tired, the triple armchair is the right place to de-stress and relax a little. If we want to read a book or watch a film with friends, a comfortable and intimate upholstered triple armchair is the ideal solution for our moments of relaxation.
How to choose the right triple armchair for your living room?
The triple armchair has become an essential complement to our homes, as it symbolises the place where every family shares moments of intimacy, care and rest. Available in an infinite number of materials, configurations and colour combinations, the triple armchair sets the tone for the environment in which it is placed. Furnishing the living area with a modern triple armchair is essential because it enriches the space with a play of volumes, shapes and materials. Given the variety of styles, finishes and combinations, it is not easy to understand which triple armchair can suit your needs. The first things to consider are the available space and the number of people living in the home.
A triple armchair that is too large can make it difficult for people to move and move around the room; on the other hand, a small triple armchair can be uncomfortable and even impractical if you often have a lot of guests at home. If your living space is limited, a two-seater triple armchair may be the right choice for you. Its small size allows you not to give up a small rest area in your living room. For small rooms, it is also advisable to use triple armchairs with storage compartments or attached tables for storing magazines, vases or other decorative objects.
If you have medium-sized rooms, you can opt for the classic three-seater triple armchair, which can be placed against the wall or in the centre of the room, almost as a divider between the living room and the dining area. Not overly dimensioned, two- or three-seater triple armchairs can be easily repositioned or even moved to other settings when you want to rethink the look of the room. The triple armchair with chaise longue is placed just in front of a wall equipped with a TV, as it allows you to lie down completely and take a nap at the same time. For environments with very large or open spaces, you can choose a modular triple armchair, made up of various modules that can be assembled in hundreds of different configurations. The segmented triple armchairs are also suitable if you are hosting many people at home, as they are a real festive space for chatting or sharing carefree moments.
Functions of the triple armchair models in the living room
The main function of the triple armchair is to facilitate conversation. Triple armchairs are in fact the ideal place to welcome guests for a chat. Often accompanied by tables that are also attached to the structure of the triple armchair to comfortably sip a coffee or a glass of wine.
If you prefer to watch television comfortably, it is very important to place the triple armchair at the right distance to avoid straining your eyes. The triple armchair is also suitable for reading a good book: it is usually accompanied by a floor lamp that can provide adequate lighting. When you are very tired, the reclining triple armchair functions as a real bed: you lie down for a few minutes to regain your strength and eventually fall asleep completely. In this regard, if you often receive guests at home, the sofa bed becomes necessary to have additional beds in a few steps.
Comfortable triple armchair models
The first thing we do when we go to a store is to try out a triple armchair before buying it. For this reason, comfort is another important element in the selection of upholstered furniture in parallel with design. A comfortable triple armchair should provide a correct posture to the person sitting there. It is recommended that the height of the triple armchair is such that the feet can step on the floor. The armrests should also not be too low, as there is a risk of increasing neck tension. The entire spine should rest on the backrest to avoid discomfort caused by incorrect posture. Triple armchairs with a headrest can help relax the muscles when properly adjusted. High-backed triple armchairs are perfect for lounges, open-plan spaces and offices, as they also provide the right privacy. Do not underestimate the importance of the triple seat's padding, which should be very soft but not too hard. Triple armchair cushions should be firmer than back cushions because they must support the weight of the person sitting on them without causing them to sink. Back cushions can be softer. The most used materials for padding are polyurethane foam or feathers covered with synthetic wadding, which usually allows to obtain more rounded shapes, and memory foam among the new entrants.
What is the right upholstery for your triple armchair?
As with all other furniture and objects in the home, it is necessary to carefully consider the type and style of the triple armchair to be placed in the living space. In fact, it is very important to choose the type of upholstery and colours that best suit the environment in which the triple armchair will be placed. Leather triple armchairs have a timeless appeal and are available in shades and colours ranging from lighter to darker tones.
One of the trends of recent years, which emphasises the vintage style, has made worn leather triple armchairs a must-have for fans of this genre. Leather upholstery is very durable as well as valuable, but requires special care to prevent damage. Alternatively, you can choose a faux leather triple armchair, a synthetic fabric with a very similar appearance to natural leather: faux leather is certainly cheaper but also less durable. With fabric triple armchairs you can give free rein to your imagination and inspiration thanks to the possibility to play with patterns, textures and materials. The endless combinations of materials and colours allow you to create thousands of solutions for your living room with effective combinations and contrasts. Fabric is an ideal choice if you are looking for an inexpensive triple armchair. In addition, this type of covering can be easily washed: therefore triple armchairs with removable covers are the best solution if you have small children at home or frequent guests.
Fabric triple armchair models
Fabric triple armchairs deserve some attention because there are many options before our eyes. The triple armchair can be covered with natural fabrics such as cotton, wool, linen or synthetic fabrics such as polyester and microfibre. Waterproof and weather-resistant fabrics can also be used, making the triple armchair suitable for outdoor environments.
Solid coloured triple armchairs can be easily adapted to any environment. A light and neutral colour will make the environment brighter, while a darker colour will give you the perception of a smaller environment than it actually is. If we mix light and dark fabrics, we can decide to create nice combinations or effect contrasts with the colours of the walls, the floor and the triple armchairs. If we opt for a coating with bright colours, we must be careful to skillfully combine all the other elements of the living room to avoid creating unpleasant effects or exaggerated contrasts. The designer triple armchairs proposed in recent years play with a mix of fabrics with a wide variety of patterns: flowers, stripes, geometric patterns, multicoloured, optical, camouflage, polka dots, tweeds and much more.
It is the modular triple armchairs that lend themselves best to the alternation between graphic patterns and monochrome finishes, but they are not the only ones. There is nothing to stop us from mixing leather-covered modules with fabric modules, solid-coloured modules with patterned modules, modules with one type of pattern with others with different patterns, and so on. With fabric triple armchairs you can really give free rein to your imagination!
The timeless elegance of classic style triple armchairs
Classic style triple armchairs are the perfect synthesis between refinement and timeless elegance. They take their place next to traditional wooden or vintage-style furniture or in living spaces that are not strictly modern. They are characterised by their enveloping shapes, generous padding and jacquard fabrics, damasks or brocades, real furniture jewels, tailor-made, hand-made and sewn. However, recent trends in the sector have led to the idea of mixing the classic with the modern. The result is a classic triple armchair reconsidered in a modern key: think of the upholstered triple armchairs, which have stripped themselves of their important coverings and traditional quilting for the advantage of lighter volumes and more modern colours, becoming a true evergreen in our homes.
