Occasional & Accent Chairs

Accent and occasional chairs come in a variety of shapes and styles to suit different interiors. Classic armchairs provide timeless elegance, while slipper chairs offer a sleek, armless design perfect for smaller spaces. High back armchairs create a bold statement with their high backrests, and barrel chairs bring a cosy, curved silhouette. For a modern touch, sculptural chairs with unique forms can add a contemporary edge to your decor.  

Occasional chairs work well in living rooms, bedrooms, and even entryways, offering extra seating without taking up too much space. You can place one in a reading nook with a throw for added comfort and warmth or use a pair to frame a coffee table and create a conversational seating area. Their versatility makes them a great addition to any room.  

When mixing accent chairs with other furniture, consider colours, materials, and styles that create a cohesive look. If you prefer a coordinated design, choose chairs with matching fabric or finishes. For an eclectic approach, mix different shapes and textures while maintaining a common element, such as a shared colour palette or design feature.  

If you're looking for a comfortable chair to rest and relax while still adding interest to your room, our rocking chairs are a great choice. They come with an ottoman, so you can put your feet up and unwind after a long day. With their gentle motion and supportive design, they offer a cosy seating option that feels as relaxing as a chaise or recliner without taking up as much space.

Pro-Tip: Start with how you want the chair to live in the room. For a reading nook, look for supportive backs, padded seats, and a cosy upholstery like bouclé, velvet, chenille, corduroy or linen-look fabric. For styling a lounge or bedroom corner, choose a sculptural silhouette that adds shape and texture without overwhelming the layout. Expert recommendation: measure your available floor space first, then pair your chair with a side table, rug or floor lamp to create a beautifully balanced setting.

Expert recommendation: Yes—occasional and accent chairs are a brilliant choice for apartments, bedrooms, home offices, and compact living areas because they add personality and comfort without the footprint of a full lounge suite. Pro-Tip: choose curved or armless styles for an airy feel, or swivel designs if you want extra flexibility in multifunctional rooms. A well-proportioned accent chair can make even a smaller corner feel polished and inviting.
