What is an occasional armchair?
As implied in the name, an occasional chair is just that. An accent chair that can be utilised when you have visitors over or for kicking your shoes off and curling up with a book or a TV show. Place your lounge chair in the living room, bedroom, or even an inviting alcove or nook.
The options for your occasional chair are endless: it can range from a swivel armchair to a leather lounger to a ghost chair.
Do occasional chairs need to match the room’s interiors?
Your occasional chair doesn’t need to match its surroundings. To make a design statement with your armchair, choose a contrasting colour or unique silhouette so it stands out as a feature.
