Occasional & Arm Chairs

An occasional chair is a versatile piece of furniture designed for use as needed, often lightweight and easily movable to accommodate extra seating during gatherings or to fill empty spaces in a room. An armchair, on the other hand, is a more substantial chair featuring armrests, typically designed for comfort and often serving as a permanent fixture in living rooms or studies. While all armchairs can function as occasional chairs, not all occasional chairs are armchairs.

Selecting the appropriate size involves measuring your available space and considering the chair's dimensions to ensure it complements your existing furniture without overwhelming the room. It's essential to account for the chair's width, depth, and height, as well as the clearance needed for movement around the chair. Additionally, consider the scale of the chair relative to other furniture pieces to maintain visual harmony.

These chairs are crafted from various materials, each offering distinct aesthetics and comfort levels:

Upholstery: Fabrics like cotton, linen, velvet, or leather provide a range of textures and durability options.

Frame: Common frame materials include wood, metal, or a combination of both, affecting the chair's sturdiness and style.

Cushioning: High-density foam, down, or synthetic fills are used for cushioning, influencing comfort and support.

The choice of materials should align with your aesthetic preferences, comfort needs, and maintenance considerations.
