The Egg Chair Dimensions Database: UK Room-Fit Data

The Egg Chair Dimensions Database: UK Room-Fit Data

The egg chair is the most mismeasured seat in a British living room because its published width is not the space it needs: a curved shell claims a circle, so the swept diameter plus recline arc is the figure that decides the fit. Our 2026 database sets out those dimensions in full, from shell diameters of 85cm to 110cm and the 10cm wall standoff behind, to seat heights of 40cm to 45cm, seat depths of 50cm to 55cm, and the full rotation circle a swivel version demands. We explain why a circular footprint uses a 90 degree corner better than a rectangular armchair does, why shell height should stay below the window line in rooms under 3.5m, and why one shell chair is almost always the right number.

What Sofas Work Best in UK Homes with Compact Layouts

What Sofas Work Best in UK Homes with Compact Layouts

Compact layouts appear in all kinds of British homes, from new build apartments to older cottages and terraces. A compact layout is less about total square footage and more about how many features, such as doors, radiators, and windows, are competing for the same walls. This article focuses on the sofa styles that tend to settle most gracefully into these spaces. It looks at the role of clean silhouettes, shorter chaise ends on corner sofas, and the comfort differences between well designed two seaters and larger three seaters. We also cover how to manage walkways, door swings, alcoves and soft furnishings so that a compact room does not feel crowded. The aim is to help you find a sofa that genuinely suits the shape of your home rather than fights it, making the room easier to live in every day....
