There is much to be said in favour of occasional chairs. Not only do they provide great comfort when a sofa just isn\u2019t what\u2019s required, but they can also make a signature statement in any room.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve highlighted five appealing options that will look and feel great in a variety of well-chosen spaces.<\/p>\n

This chair will pique your curiosity. You might wonder how comfortable it will really be\u2026 but once you settle into it you won\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Sunday chair in fabric<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Orbit leather recliner<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s face it, most of us would appreciate a relaxing armchair that is difficult to get out of\u2026 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\u2019s available in dozens of colourways too, so you could have anything from cool white to funky pink.<\/p>\n
