One thing I've learned from furnishing a small London flat is that you can't underestimate your seating arrangement. One sofa may be enough for my partner and me, but as soon as a guest comes over or we're hosting a party, I'm suddenly apologizing for the lack of available seats. But if you've ever tried to furnish a small room, you'll also know that large furniture quickly crowds a space. An accent chair that's cozy but slim is the solution, and for that, an armless style might be the best formula.
Admittedly, armless accent chairs weren't my go-to for maximum comfort; something about the lack of an armrest seemed, well, lacking. However, the slimmer design makes them ideal for small living room ideas. You can easily tuck an armless seat into an awkward corner or next to a sofa without overwhelming the room. So, I had to do some digging to see what options were out there — if we are going armless, we still need a deep seat, a cozy place to curl up, and, of course, something that will be a stylish addition to the room.
