What's the difference between an ottoman and a footstool for armchairs?

Ottomans are typically cube-shaped, firmer, and often have storage; footstools are softer, lower-profile, and purely for leg support. For armchair pairing, footstools integrate better visually and feel more cohesive. Check 7interiordesign.com's daily prices—matching sets are often cheaper than buying separately, and price drops alert you instantly so you don't miss savings.

How do I know if an armchair and footstool will fit through my UK front door?

Measure your doorway width (most UK doors are 75cm) and the chair's widest point. Many sets arrive flat-packed or with legs detachable, but some designer pieces don't disassemble. Always check the product description for delivery dimensions. Contact retailers before ordering if unsure—it's far cheaper than returns. Price-tracking helps: if a set is slightly too large, waiting for a sale on a smaller alternative might save £100+.

What upholstery fabric is best for a busy household with pets and children?

Performance fabrics (microsuede, crypton-treated linen) resist stains and wear brilliantly. Avoid velvet and pale colours if pets are present. Mid-range options from Dunelm and John Lewis often include washable covers. Budget £450–£750 for durable, pet-friendly sets. Use 7interiordesign.com to compare fabric options across retailers—you'll spot which stores stock performance fabrics and catch price drops on hardwearing ranges.

Can I use a footstool from one brand with an armchair from another?

Technically yes, but proportions matter. A footstool should sit roughly 5cm lower than the chair's seat height and complement its width visually. Mixing brands risks awkward scale or colour mismatch. Matched sets (usually £100–£200 cheaper combined) guarantee harmony. Check 7interiordesign.com's price tracker—bundled sets often drop in sales, making matching easier and more affordable than sourcing separately.

How often should I replace an armchair and footstool set?

Well-made sets last 10–15 years with care. Budget pieces (under £300) may need replacing after 5–7 years. Reupholstering costs £400–£800, so quality frames justify higher initial spend. Inspect springs and frame annually; replace covers if fabric fades. Monitor 7interiordesign.com's prices on premium ranges—investing in a £600–£800 set now often costs less over time than replacing budget options twice.
