2 minute read time

 

An essential part of any well-designed space, occasional chairs combine style with comfort to enhance not only the aesthetic appeal of a room but the overall experience of relaxation and conversation. Whether you seek a cosy reading nook, an elegant accent piece, or additional seating for entertaining, the right occasional chair can transform your space into a refined retreat. 

 

Here are six luxury occasional chairs that promise to elevate the space, whatever style you're after:


 

The classic black Aubin Chair oozes craftsmanship and minimalist style. Made from solid wood, this sturdy yet elegant chair recalls one of the iconic pieces designed for the Chandigarh project in India. Intricate handwoven rattan cane adorns the seat and backrest.

 

 

Inspired by the shape of a maple leaf, this exceptional occasional chair features a ‘skeleton’ style of cut-out metal forms on a circular swivel base. A contemporary classic! 

 

 

Charming and luxurious, our glamorous new Oscar range includes a loveseat, chair and bar stool; all designed to make an impact. Chic curves and a deep buttoned back are the hallmarks of these pieces, with an optional swivel plinth and sumptuous layers of padding as standard.

 

 

The elegant Donnelly chair, featuring a cut-out curved back and deep seat, is the perfect minimalist chair for receptions, bedrooms or reading rooms. The rounded front corner legs and edge, low proportions and curved edges make this an easy addition to any space and a perfect vehicle to play with fabrics and colour. 

 

 

Revealing its luxuriant character, the Chaplin Chair invites you to delve into an atmosphere of pure sophistication with its curved form. Pairing sumptuous velvet throughout with matching velvet piping, the Chaplin Chair is a tasteful and low-profile statement chair that brings grace and modern luxury to any dining or living space. 

 

 

Contemporary design meets 1920's elegance with Fenton. A unique centrepiece armchair designed to work in harmony with other The Sofa & Chair Company models or simply stand alone. The chair’s fluted back and arms are well-padded for superior comfort. Fenton can be upholstered in a range of fabrics and is available with an optional swivel base. 

 

Top tips for styling an occasional chair in luxury interiors:  

  1. Layer with luxurious textiles: Enhance the chair’s aesthetic by draping a cashmere throw or adding a silk or velvet cushion for a sophisticated, inviting touch.
  2. Positioning matters: Place the chair strategically, by a fireplace, near a window with natural light, or as a statement piece in an entryway. This creates a visually balanced and functional space.
  3. Pair with complementary furniture: A marble or brass side table beside the chair adds depth, while a designer floor lamp or elegant bookshelf completes the scene.
  4. Consider a statement fabric: Opt for a striking upholstery such as hand-stitched leather, rich jacquard, or intricate embroidery to elevate the luxury appeal.
  5. Maintain a cohesive palette: Ensure the occasional chair harmonises with the rest of the interior by selecting colours and materials that flow seamlessly with the space’s overall design.
