Occasional & Accent Chairs

Occasional Armchairs for Australian Lounge Rooms and Bedrooms  Occasional chairs are single seats that add extra seating without a full lounge suite, and in Australia they are often sold as accent chairs or armchairs. This range includes modern curved and swivel designs for living rooms, bedrooms, reading corners and home offices.  Why choose occasional and accent chairs?  They fit beside a sofa, in a bedroom corner or by a window, and compact styles take up little floor space, so check the dimensions first. Upholstery includes velvet, bouclé, chenille and PU leather, for soft or wipe-clean finishes. Colours run from cream white and beige to chocolate brown, black and green. A curved or swivel accent chair softens a square room, tucks into a corner or turns towards

Comfortable Occasional Chairs for Reading and Relaxing 

Occasional chairs double as living room chairs beside a sofa or lounge suite , and an occasional armchair or lounge chair makes a comfortable reading seat. In a bedroom, a chair at the end of the bed or by a window gives you somewhere to sit and dress. For more bedroom options, see our bedroom chairs . 

For comfort, check the seat depth and the padding. Several chairs here use high-density foam, which holds its shape with daily use. To put your feet up, add a footstool from our stools and ottomans , or see our rocking chairs . 

Accent Chair Upholstery, Colours and Care 

Bouclé is the most common accent chair upholstery in this range, followed by velvet and chenille. Bouclé is soft and textured, velvet is smooth, and chenille is plush. For a leather look, see our PU leather accent chairs . 

White and cream make up the largest share of colours, followed by brown, green and beige, with a few in black, blue, orange and pink. Our beige accent chairs suit neutral rooms with warm timber. For care, vacuum with a soft brush, blot spills rather than rubbing, and keep chairs out of direct sun to avoid fading. 

Swivel, Curved and Small Occasional Chairs 

Swivel chairs turn a full 360 degrees, which helps in open-plan rooms where you move between the TV, the dining table and the kitchen. Curved chairs suit modern rooms and wrap around the sitter. 

For a small space, compare depth and height as well as width, so the chair suits the room's proportions. Where listed, weight limits run from 120kg to 150kg. 

Statement Accent Chairs and What to Pair Them With 

A statement accent chair can be the focal point of a room. Choose one bold colour or texture and keep the rest of the room calmer. Pair it with a side table for a drink or lamp, and place a rug under the front legs to anchor the seat. For a conversation area, set two chairs either side of a coffee table . 

Measure your space, pick a shape and fabric, and shop the range. We deliver Australia-wide.

FAQs

What is the most comfortable occasional chair? 

The most comfortable occasional chair has a deep seat, high-density foam and a supportive back. Pair it with an ottoman or footstool so you can put your feet up for longer sitting. 

What is the difference between an occasional chair and an accent chair? 

An occasional chair is a spare seat for extra seating, while an accent chair is chosen for its colour, shape or texture. The terms overlap, and most chairs here work as both. 

How do I choose the right occasional or accent chair for my space? 

Measure the floor space and leave a clear walkway, then check the width, seat depth and seat height. Choose the fabric and colour next, and match the shape to how you will use the chair. 

Are accent chairs suitable for small spaces? 

Yes, compact accent chairs suit small spaces. Look for one under about 65cm wide and deep, and leave room to walk past it. A swivel chair also helps, as you turn the seat instead of moving the chair. 

Which upholstery suits a busy home? 

PU leather suits a busy home because it wipes clean with a damp cloth. Velvet and chenille vacuum well with a soft brush, though velvet can show water marks, chenille can pill and bouclé loops can catch on pet claws. 

Do you sell occasional chairs with an ottoman? 

Yes. Some rocking chairs and lounge chairs come with a matching ottoman, and you can pair any occasional chair with a separate footstool. 

Do occasional chairs need assembly? 

It depends on the chair. Many arrive ready to use, while others need assembly, with instructions included. Check the assembly details on each product page before you order. 

Do you have leather occasional chairs? 

Yes, in PU leather, a leather-look material rather than genuine leather. It suits a study or a modern living room where you want a smooth finish. 

Do you have accent chairs that swivel? 

Yes. Several accent chairs sit on a swivel base, so you can turn towards a window or a conversation from where you sit. Swivel styles come in bouclé, velvet and chenille.
