How to Guide: Choosing the Perfect Bedroom Chair

Whether you’re shopping for a stylish gift or adding the finishing touch to your own space, a bedroom chair is a small detail that makes a big impact. These chairs aren’t just for bedrooms, They’re versatile, comfortable and full of personality. Use one to create a quiet reading corner, add extra seating for guests or simply inject a bit of character into an unused nook. 

Don’t let the name fool you. Bedroom chairs, accent chairs, occasional chairs, whatever you call them, they’re all about improving your home with form and function.

What is a Bedroom Chair?

A bedroom chair is typically a single-seater designed to add comfort and charm to your bedroom. It can be a soft spot for reading, a stylish dressing table seat or simply a decorative piece that makes a room feel more lived in and luxurious. 

Choosing that perfect bedroom chair

First things first, you've got to consider who you are buying the chair for. What are their needs? What are their preferences? If you are purchasing for yourself, this won't be an issue to figure out. However, perhaps you're buying a gift for someone - after all, Christmas is just around the corner! If this is the case, think about their home. Where will they be placing this chair? What is their current interior design like? These points should play a part in helping you pick the perfect bedroom chair for your lucky recipient.

How to Choose the Right Bedroom Chair 

1. Who’s it for? 

Start with the basics: Who are you buying for? If it’s for yourself, think about how and where you’ll use it. But if it’s a gift, consider the recipient’s home style. Do they love clean, Scandi lines? Or are they all about bold colour and maximalist decor? 

2. Match the style to the space 

When browsing our bedroom chair collection, it’s tempting to go for something safe, such as beige or cream. Whilst those are timeless choices, don’t be afraid to make a statement. If you’re decorating a vibrant room, a neutral-toned chair may get lost in the mix. Our dressing table chairs are the perfect example of how colour can bring a room to life. 

3. What’s the chair for?

Ask yourself: What will this chair be used for? The answer will help narrow your options. 

• For decoration only? Go big on style, tufted velvet, bold colours and sculptural shapes

• For extra seating at parties or gatherings? Look for something light and easy to move, such as the Cuba vintage brown chair

• For use at a dressing table?  Choose a supportive and stylish option

4. Think Practical 

If your home is also home to kids or furry friends, practicality becomes a priority. Chairs that are easy to wipe down or resist marks will save you a lot of stress. 

Choose a chair that hides pet hair and everyday marks without compromising on aesthetics. These types of chairs are ideal for family homes where life happens, but style still matters. 

It’s More Than Just a Chair 

Your bedroom chair should blend style and substance. Whether it’s for you or a loved one, they can completely transform a room from a quiet reading nook to a stylish dressing corner or an accent in your hallway.
