Luxury Occasional Chairs
Choose an Occasional Chair for the Room
Decide whether the chair will provide regular seating, occasional seating or a decorative focal point. A compact accent chair can complete a bedroom or hallway, while a more generous design may suit a living room or reception space. Check the intended use and dimensions shown for the individual product.
Compare Size, Comfort and Intended Use
Measure the available floor area and the route into the room. Compare the product’s width, depth, overall height, seat height and arm height with nearby furniture. Review the product images and specification for support, cushioning and swivel or fixed-base details. Features and suitability vary between designs.
Review Upholstery, Materials and Finishes
The collection includes examples in fabric, velvet and leather, with wood or metal frame details. However, each chair has its own material specification. Selected designs may offer alternative upholstery, colours, finishes, detailing or dimensions. Confirm the available options for the exact chair before ordering.
Plan the Chair Within a Wider Interior
Consider how the chair relates to nearby sofas, tables, beds, lighting, rugs and window treatments. Our luxury interior-design service can assist with furniture selection, layout and finishes for an agreed project. Alternatively, contact our Mayfair design studio with the room dimensions and chair you are considering.
FAQs
What is an occasional chair?
An occasional chair is an individual seat used for extra seating, a specific activity or decorative balance. It may sit in a living room, bedroom, dressing room, hallway or reception space. How often it is used depends on the room and the chair.
Where can I place an occasional chair?
Common positions include beside a window, fireplace, console table, bed or side table. Leave enough circulation space and check that doors, drawers and walkways remain clear.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the available width and depth, then compare the chair’s overall height, seat height and arm height with nearby furniture. Also measure doors, corridors, stairs and lifts on the access route.
Can occasional chairs be customised?
Yes. Juliettes Interiors offers customisation on most items, including chairs. Depending on the product and manufacturer, options may include alternative fabrics, leathers, colours, finishes, detailing or dimensions. Please contact us to confirm the available options for the exact chair before ordering.
What other furniture is considered occasional furniture?
The term can include smaller pieces used where needed, such as side tables, footstools, ottomans or benches. Product purpose varies, so choose each piece according to the room and intended use.
