Curated finds for Sarah | Earthy Japandi Armchairs
Inspired by your brief, I’ve curated a selection of armchairs that work well within a spare bedroom setting, especially alongside a desk. I’ve focused on Scandinavian, Japanese, and contemporary styles, keeping to softer, earthy tones and silhouettes that feel calm and functional.
I hope these options give you a clear sense of direction and feel inspiring as you shape the space.
This is a great entry option if you’re keeping things simple and budget-conscious. The shape is clean and slightly Scandi leaning, but softened through the fabric. It works well in a quiet, minimal setup and doesn’t take up too much visual space, ideal next to a desk.
This one brings in more texture, which works beautifully for a Scandinavian-Japanese direction. The ivory Borg fabric softens the look, while the wooden arms keep it grounded and slightly architectural. It feels tactile and a bit more elevated without trying too hard.
A really strong choice if you want something timeless. The exposed wood frame and proportions are rooted in classic Scandinavian design, originally inspired by mid-century forms. It’s structured but still comfortable, and the neutral fabric keeps it easy to style within a calm, earthy palette.
This leans more into a soft, contemporary direction, but still works beautifully within a Scandinavian-Japanese feel. The chunky bouclé texture adds warmth and tactility. It’s slightly fuller in shape, so it brings a bit more presence, ideal if you want the chair to feel like a cosy corner to retreat to rather than just a functional desk seat.
