Get Comfy - Get A New Chair!

 Curling up in a soft, inviting  armchair next to an open  fire is an idea


that most of us find very appealing indeed . It is even more comfortable and


inviting if you have a few luxury  scented candles like the ones by


Yankee candles glowing  in the background. What's more, if


you decide to go for a leather chair it does not even need to match your existing sofa - it can be a stylish


statement piece in its own right – an accent chair as it is often called  . Whether you already have a sofa


covered in a patterned fabric, or want to add warmth and character to a minimal


living room , a chair in leather


will always look the part . Brown is the


classic colour to choose, but what about striking red, cool white or black? Choose a shade  that contrasts with the rest of your furniture for a real style winner


that stands out from the crowd . When choosing a


new real or faux-leather armchair, think about our suggestions   . Allow plenty of time to try out an armchair in


the shop before you buy it Spend a few minutes sitting in


the chair to get a true idea of its comfort  . Take your measurements with you - an armchair


that looks average-sized in the showroom could potentially swamp your living


room. Check how it is made, these days, most armchairs are either zigzag or


web-sprung, but if you're looking for something that will stand the test of


time, choose a traditionally made chair that is coil-sprung. This spreads the


weight more evenly across the seat and reduces wear on the base. Real leather


will age with use and this adds to its character. It's easy to look after -


simply dust with a damp cloth. If it gets really dirty apply some special leather


cleaner. This is easy to use. Generally speaking it comes in liquid form. Get hold of a good soft cloth - a microfibre cloth is ideal. Work some of the cleaner on to the cloth and then gently rub this all over the surface of the chair. This may take a little time, but the resultswill be well worth it. Not only will the cleaner remove dirt but it will also give your treasured chair an element of protection against future dirt and grime building up, so you win in two ways! And if all this seems like too much trouble, simply call in a firm of professional cleaners like Proclean Domestic Cleaning and Carpet Cleaning Glasgow to take care of it for you. When that is all done, there is nothing more to be done than light one of your favourite Yankee candles and relax!
