15 Best Sofa Chairs - The Coolest, Comfiest And Chicest Designs That Are Anything But Boring
From comfy bouclé designs to Art Deco-inspired shapes, here's a list of the best sofa chairs.
Sofa chairs are some of the most expensive pieces of furniture you’ll buy for your home.
In addition to splashing the cash on a bed, bedside table, small desks and dressing tables, sofa chairs often require a hefty bit of cash and creativity. That said, there are numerous brands like Loaf, Made and Swyft offering some of the most beautiful modern and vintage-looking designs, in numerous colourways and fabrics at a fraction of the price of traditional retailers.
When it comes to buying a sofa chair, firstly you need to consider what kind of aesthetic you’re aiming for: modern, traditional, bohemian etc. Secondly, have a think about the design: do you want modern curves, bouclé fabrics in soft ivory with matching pillows, wooden or brass legs?
We’ve whittled down the endless lists of sofa chairs out there and rounded up the best designs on the market. Get comfy and get stuck in:
This woven sofa chair comes in four colourways but we love this blush pink hue's contrast with the wooden legs. It's a sofa chair/armchair that is cosy and perfect for crawling up in with a good book and a cuppa.
For those who want just enough room to stretch out their legs, but don't want to share. Decorate with a brightly coloured throw or pillow.
We must admit, we're absolutely smitten with this sofa chair, which comes in a soft bouclé fabric in ivory, and is shaped with modern curves. It says it can fit three, but why share space when a sofa chair looks this plush?
Okay, this might be a floor cushion, but it's supportive enough to be classified as a sofa chair in our eyes. We love the cushioning and teal shade.
How comfy does this sofa chair look? Not only do we love the neutral colour but its minimalist lines and deep seat.
This sofa chair can be customised, depending on your favourite coloured fabric and legs. We're into the orange tone.
A bit on the larger size with ample room for stretching out, we love this leather sofa chair, which comes with angular ash legs and has a metal stud detail to toughen it up slightly.
We adore this velvet sofa chair. It has curved arms which make it look ultra modern and it's made from a lovely soft brushed fabric.
It's not often a sofa chair leaves us speechless, but that's exactly what happened when we spotted this bouclé snuggle chair online. It's more structured than other sofa chairs, but we couldn't love it more.
This sofa chair has a retro vibe and button detailing. What makes it even better is that it folds out into a sofa bed for guests.
This is a super small sofa which can just about squeeze two people, but is best for snuggling up solo. We love the low back on this design.
A sofa chair-cum-cuddlechair, this sleek design has an adorable button detail at the back and would look incredible if decorated with a bright yellow or orange cushion.
Snuggle up with a loved one on this beautiful, plump sofa chair, which is made in the UK from a lovely brushed fabric (which resembles bouclé) and is a steal for under £700.00 given its luxe design, in our opinion.
We love the vintage feel of this sofa, which has been upholstered in a lovely grey linen and set inside a lightly washed ash frame.
John Lewis & Partners Chester Medium 2 Seater Sofa, Dark Leg with Gold Tip, Harriet Teal
The 'Chester' comes in 124 fabrics and 17 leathers, so you really do have the chance to build something you absolutely love. We love the modern take on this rather antique-looking design. The wooden legs are finished with brass caps.
