Product Description

It is a rare win to find a chair that looks like a design statement while actually being somewhere you want to spend an entire afternoon. This velvet armchair is a properly sturdy bit of kit that takes those classic English shapes and makes them feel completely right for a modern living room.

The navy blue velvet upholstery is a stroke of genius. It has a deep, moody tone that brings a sense of calm to a corner, and the texture is remarkably forgiving for a busy home. It is the sort of seat that invites you to sit down and stay a while.

Comfort is where this one really shines. With a thick, substantial seat cushion, the Nelson armchair feels supportive and plush from the moment you land. The high back is a thoughtful touch, offering a bit of extra height that cradles your shoulders.

Those dark wooden legs are finished with a hint of brass at the feet, giving it a polished look that feels expensive without being loud. It even comes with a matching scatter cushion, so the whole setup feels sorted the moment it arrives.

This Nelson armchair is clearly built for how we actually use our homes today. The curved arms feature neat pleat detailing and sharp piping, which helps the velvet hold its shape and keep that tailored look even after a long stint of binge-watching.

It is generous enough to feel like a proper retreat but has a footprint that fits neatly into a bay window or a bedroom nook. It feels like a permanent, reliable fixture that makes the room feel more established.

• Deep Navy Blue Luxe Velvet – Durable high‑quality fabric with a soft pile that adds textural depth and a polished feel to your room

Styling advice by Furniture Outlet interior stylists Jo & Liz:
“The navy blue velvet looks particularly sharp against pale grey walls, light oak flooring and brushed metal accents. To keep things feeling grounded, try pairing it with a chunky knit throw and a low wooden side table. The Nelson armchair works beautifully as a standalone feature or as a pair, making the whole space feel finished and inviting.”

How to Care for Me

Think of your Nelson armchair like a favourite winter coat. A few simple habits will keep the navy velvet and brass-tipped legs looking sharp and feeling soft for years of lounging:

• Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum the velvet every week, lifting away dust and stray crumbs
• Buff the dark wood legs with a lint-free cloth to maintain the wood’s natural glow and polish
• Blot any accidental spills immediately with a clean dry cloth, dabbing the pile instead of rubbing it
• Keep your armchair at a safe distance from direct sunlight and strong heat sources like radiators or open fires
• Move the chair occasionally to prevent the finish from fading unevenly in sunlit spots over time
• Drape a soft throw over the armrests to protect against claws or messy fingers if kids and pets are joining you
