Position at 45 degrees to the sofa in living rooms. In bedrooms, place in a corner for a reading or dressing seat.

Buying Checklist
Armchair and Ottoman Buying Guide: 6 Things to Check Before You Buy
Comfort and Support
Seat depth: 50–56 cm. Feet flat on the floor. Backrest supports the lower back. Armrests at shoulder height. Medium-firm cushioning for long-term support. Overly soft seats are harder to get out of.
Size and Layout
Leave 45 cm clearance on all sides. Check doorways and hallways for delivery access. Ottoman should sit 1–2 inches lower than the armchair cushion. Choose an ottoman 60–80% of the armchair width for a balanced look.
Materials and Durability
Fabric: softer and warmer. Leather: easy to clean, more formal. For homes with kids or pets: stain-resistant performance fabrics in darker tones. Australian humidity: choose breathable materials for long sessions.
Build Quality
Solid wood or quality engineered frame with secure legs and tight seams. High-density foam or layered cushioning resists sagging. Check stitching and edges before buying.
Style and Shape Pairing
Neutral tones work with most interiors. Bold colours work best with calm surroundings. Pair angular wingback chairs with round ottomans. Pair curved tub chairs with square ottomans. Swivel chairs pair with any ottoman shape.
Usage and Budget
Occasional use: mid-range option. Daily use (TV, reading, work): prioritise build quality and lumbar support. To stretch out: choose oversized. Higher upfront cost on a well-built chair means longer lifespan.

WHY SHOPICA?
Quality You Can Trust
Shopica is a Sydney-based, family-owned homeware, décor and furniture store founded by Eliane El Khoury. What started as a passion for beautiful, considered interiors has grown into a trusted destination for Australians who care about how their home looks and feels. We curate cushions, floor lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, dining tables, outdoor furniture and decorative pieces chosen specifically for Australian homes. Every piece is held to the same standard we would demand for our own. We do not stock products simply because they are popular. We stock them because they are well made, beautifully designed and worth every dollar.
Our Sydney-based team understands how Australian homes are lived in. The open plan living and dining spaces that define modern Australian architecture. The need for furniture that is beautiful on the weekend and durable through the week. The importance of getting the details right, from the cushion on the sofa to the lamp beside the bed. We source every product with all of this in mind.
With Australia-wide delivery dispatched daily from our Smithfield warehouse in Sydney and personal customer support from a team that genuinely cares about your home, Shopica is here to help you create a space that feels as good as it looks. One considered piece at a time.
