Modern Living Room Furniture: Occasional Chairs

By Darlings Of Chelsea

There is much to be said in favour of occasional chairs. Not only do they provide great comfort when a sofa just isn’t what’s required, but they can also make a signature statement in any room.

We’ve highlighted five appealing options that will look and feel great in a variety of well-chosen spaces.

The Gianni Occasional Chairs

This chair will pique your curiosity. You might wonder how comfortable it will really be… but once you settle into it you won’t want to move. Its chunky good looks are perfect for complete relaxation any day of the week. It also reclines and swivels on its solid base, so it is very versatile. It is available in a range of super premium and protected Italian leathers, so you simply have to choose the ideal shade to suit your interior colour scheme.

Sunday chair in fabric

There’s nothing quite like a lazy Sunday morning spent reading the paper. Can you imagine settling back into this chair, available either in sumptuous leather or in high-quality fabric to your liking? It will perfectly complement anything you have in the Duresta range too. Alternatively, it would look good as an occasional chair in the same room as any other seating option. Fabrics are available in both plain and patterned options so something is bound to fit your needs. You can even buy the chair sized for gents or for ladies.

If you want some modern living room furniture this certainly fits the bill. The design makes the chair look almost like a work of art. It does have the feel of a glove once you get settled into its generous proportions too. As modern living room chairs go, your entire family could be fighting over this one! Take your time to select the most appropriate fabric colour from the swatches given. This chair could be a stand-out eye-catcher or it could blend in a little more. It’s up to you.

A striking colour statement can certainly be made with this chair. Alternatively, you might want to go for something a bit less outstanding and choose a more muted fabric colour instead. The dramatic swooping curves of this chair make it comfortable as well as an instant stand-out piece. And with a footstool to purchase as well, this could turn out to be your favourite occasional chair to sit in.

Let’s face it, most of us would appreciate a relaxing armchair that is difficult to get out of… purely because it is so comfortable. Not only does this one recline it also swivels and rocks, so you can feel nurtured, and comfy and never miss out on a thing either! It’s available in dozens of colourways too, so you could have anything from cool white to funky pink.

Choosing your ideal occasional chair will be a tough choice, but it is one that will be rewarded. Which of the above ticks all the required boxes for you?
