As for furniture, go for dark wood to complement the wooden legs.

Are you in the search for a small, narrow recliner? If so, then we're going to assume that you are finally sick of your husband's massive BarcaLounger, which engulfs your body. Now, you're confronted with a problem: how do you select the recliner that suits your needs? Don't fret as our quick buying guide for narrow recliners will give you a couple of pointers. We'll start with:
A narrow recliner is the best choice for you if your living room has limited floor space and a lumberjack-sized recliner won't fit. A small recliner can be 33 inches wide, perfect for women and small- to medium-framed people. When taking size into account, you shouldn't just measure the available space inside your home. You should also ensure that the people who'll be using the recliner will fit in it.
You can go with the recliner that's from a well-known brand as it is likely to perform incredibly well for years. Reputable manufacturers produce recliners that go back to the sitting position after being reclined with ease even when they have been used constantly for years. We would never suggest cheaply-made recliners as they will only last a long time if you don't use them often. The materials used in building cheap seats are, more often than not, of low-quality which breaks after a couple of uses. This means your reclining or swiveling chair will end up like an amusement ride.
Large furniture stores, even ones that sell online, have their own delivery trucks, which means they'll be able to deliver your new furniture quickly. With a smaller store, you'll need to rely on an independent truck to deliver. If you want to use your chair as soon as possible, this will present a huge problem as you will be required to wait for weeks. Apparently, trucks that carry special-order items won't get prioritized as trucks need to fulfill larger orders. Special orders take time. Oftentimes, you'd have to wait up to a month just so your furniture makes its way to your property. We suggest you go with a reputable seller and inquire about the delivery. An established online furniture store will offer you with amazing prices and options for the delivery of your new recliner.
If you think you'd have a problem with coloration, leather will solve your concern. However, you still need to consider the chair's color and see if it will work with your room's look and feel. Trendy hues can be very appealing. If you will be spending a considerable amount of money on the chair, we suggest you pick a safer color as trends change quickly. A neutral shade will look great in any room. If you want to perk your furniture up, just throw in trendy-colored toss pillows.
You're now ready to purchase a new narrow recliner! To protect your investment, only purchase the chair that comes with a comprehensive warranty and return policy.
