Chairs

Types of chairs

Being productive in front of your computer? Having a meal? Kicking back and reading a book? A lot of situations involve us sitting down. That's why chairs are some of the most important pieces of furniture in our homes. And it's also why you need different chairs for different situations.

Find your next seating solution

Different rooms call for different chairs - here's what tends to work best where.

Chairs for living room

This is where comfort usually wins. An armchair is the classic choice for a reading corner or as an extra seat alongside the sofa, while a tub chair suits smaller living rooms where a full-sized armchair would eat up too much space. If you spend a lot of evenings in front of the TV, a recliner chair is worth the extra floor space it takes up.

Home office or study

Comfort matters here too, but so does support if you’re going to be sitting there for some time. A gaming chair also isn't just for gaming. the adjustable back and neck support make it a solid pick for a home desk as well.

Chairs for hallway or spare corners

Not every chair needs to be used every single day. An occasional chair is light enough to move around, so it can sit in a hallway, bedroom corner or spare spot and be pulled into action whenever you need extra seating.

Dining room or kitchen chairs

For everyday dining, look for something practical and easy to wipe clean over anything too plush, see our dining chairs for options built specifically for sitting around the table.

Bedroom

A single tub chair or compact armchair in the corner of a bedroom gives you somewhere to sit in your bedroom that isn't the bed - useful for getting dressed and reading in the evenings.
