Occasional Chairs
An occasional chair is a stylish extra seat for any corner. Tub chairs, boucle designs and patterned accent chairs add colour and comfort without the bulk of a sofa. They suit living rooms, bedrooms and wide hallways. Our range changes often, so call our Southsea showroom for current styles.
Occasional Chairs: Style in a Small Footprint
Occasional chairs are made for the moments you need an extra seat. They're smaller and lighter than armchairs. That makes them easy to move and perfect for tight spaces.
Popular Styles
- Tub chairs – curved backs that hug you. Compact and cosy.
- Boucle chairs – textured, on-trend fabric in soft neutrals.
- Patterned accent chairs – bring colour into a plain room.
- Wooden-framed chairs – classic and lightweight.
Where an Occasional Chair Works
Place one beside a fireplace or in a bay window. Add one to a bedroom for dressing or reading. Use a pair either side of a console table in a wide hall. In a home office, it gives visitors somewhere to sit.
Choosing Fabric and Colour
Boucle and velvet feel soft and luxurious. Leather effect is easy to clean. A bold colour turns the chair into a focal point. Neutral tones blend quietly into the room.
Size Tips
Occasional chairs are usually 60 to 75cm wide. Check the seat height matches nearby furniture. Leave space to walk around the chair.
Care
Vacuum with a soft brush. Spot clean spills quickly. Check the care label for the right cleaning method.
