Tartan Armchairs
Tartans were originally made from woven wool, but in today’s world tartans are made in all sorts of materials. The tartan fabric carries plenty of history with it if that’s what you’re looking for in your furniture.
If history isn’t what you are after, that’s okay too. Tartan is very similar to the plaid pattern family and looks beautiful in any home, especially in homes that accentuate country cottage, farmhouse, and rustic style.
A tartan armchair is exactly what you need to bring your Scottish or Irish heritage into your home décor! If you don’t belong to a Scottish clan, then a North American plaid for color scheme is still a terrific idea.
Here are five gorgeous tartan armchairs that hold history and design.

Comfy Push back Recliner Tartan Armchair
A reclining push-back tartan armchair keeps the traditional grandfather chair appeal only with advanced mechanics allowing you to lean back and relax. Kick up your feet in comfort.
Push-back reclining plaid armchairs are made with one full-back cushion or two cushion sections to support your lower back. You also get the selection between armrests that are straight-edged contemporary or rounded country-cottage style.
These types of chairs normally sit lower to the ground. If you are tall and having your feet hang off the recliner is a pet peeve, then this isn’t a good chair for you.
New Age Modern Contemporary Plaid Chairs
Lighter-built chairs like these new-age plaid chairs are versatile. They can be used in living rooms, dining rooms, sunrooms, offices, and practically anywhere else you’d like.
The thin metal legs generate an open and fresh appeal. Shiny metal frames bring an outstanding classiness to a modern or contemporary designed home.
Skinnier legs and frames add more space to a cramped or small room. Buy them solo as an accent chair for your reading room or purchase a pair for your living room.
Classical and Grand Tartan Wingback Chairs
The famous tartan wingback chair features a tall back that flairs out creating movement in a room. They come with a luxurious sense compared to most plaid chairs.
Plaid wingback chairs make beautiful accent chairs. Place them in the corner of a study. They are also fabulous in living rooms with small, rounded side tables for your coffee cup.
The wingback provides a headrest for when you want to take a short cat nap in the middle of the day. If rustic is your style, opt for a tartan chair with wider built armrests for a heavy furniture finish.
Warm Wooden Rustic Plaid Armchair
Displaying wood and natural elements adds finesse to a rustic living room. A rustic plaid armchair will also fit nicely in an office or recreation room.
These types of armchairs normally sit a couple of inches lower to the floor compared to plaid wingback armchairs and push-back recliner plaid chairs. They also don’t come with cushion armrests like all the other types of tartan chairs.
Bare armrests are less comfortable, but they are easier to wipe away spills. If you get bruised easily, then choosing a tartan armchair with cushioned armrests may be more suitable for you.
Sophisticated Dining Accent Tartan Chair
Although these types of tartan chairs are built for dining rooms, no one says you can’t place them in a formal and still have them look lovely. Dainty swirls and feminine frames tie shabby chic to this seat!
These types of accent tartan armchairs also look stunning in farmhouse décor. You can find some designs that are even classier and better suited for Victorian elegance.
For a fresh and straightforward appeal, add a white dining table to the mix. As an empty white canvas, you can then place whatever colored placemats and centerpieces to match your house’s color theme.

Our advice Buying Guide
Tartan armchairs have finally descended from the Scottish Highlands to bring us and the rest of the world some Scottish style. Tartan is a stunning and timeless pattern that looks great in any room. It even comes in several different styles.
Today, we'll talk about how you can bring home the best tartan armchair, which is the best way for you to make your home even cozier. Our buying guide will help you avoid costly mistakes and make the right buying decision.
How to determine the right size for an armchair?
Think about your room's layout. Then, pick a spot that you will allocate for the furniture piece. Measure this spot carefully and make room for any existing furniture. Your home's new addition should fit in the room comfortably. Leave enough space for you to move around the piece without having to squeeze yourself past it.
The simplest way you can figure out the size of your tartan armchair is by using a masking tape or newspaper in outlining the furniture's dimensions on the floor. Do so before you click that "buy" button on an online furniture store.
Of course, you need to consider the width of your doorframe as you wouldn't want to experience problems by the time the piece is delivered to your home.
Lastly, you must ensure that there's enough space in your room to position the armchair away from the radiator (if you have one), so you wouldn't feel the direct heat that's coming off of it. It's important that you leave a good distance between the radiator and the furniture piece as it'll guard against cracking or heat damage.
What types of armchair fillings are there?
There are three types of armchair fillings: foam, fiber, and feather.
- Foam is the primary filling in most armchairs as it gives a firm experience while retaining the seat's shape. The downside to the material is that it doesn't give a very comfortable feeling when sat on.
- As for fiber, you may already know that it's man-made or synthetic. It's much like a duvet's inner material, which offers medium comfort. The disadvantage of this type of filling is that it needs to be plumped up regularly.
- Last but not the least is feather, which is the most luxurious, relaxed, and soft solution. Still, it would need constant plumping.
The filling that you choose for the seat will make a difference as to how much relaxation and enjoyment you can get from the armchair. Think about what you'll be using the chair for most. A soft armchair is great for curling up as you watch your favorite TV shows, while a firmer seat will be able to support your posture which is needed when you are entertaining guests and catching up on some reading.
You're now ready to dive headfirst into the marketplace! Keep what you've learned from our buying guide in mind and you'll find the right tartan armchair.
