> Seating Armchairs & Accent Chairs French Style Wicker Chair Rockett St George This is one of those really useful bits of furniture. If you have enough space at the kitchen table it will look great (and be comfortable)there. Wtih a small cushion for the back it will withstand some WFH and it will also work well in the bedroom as a chair-drobe. But if you have a corner of a landing or hall where you like to sit and take five it's perfect for that and, finally, in a few weeks' time when the spring has sprung you can take it outside for a cup of coffee and spot of Vitamin D. Niantic Pink Swivel Chair Perch & Parrow Given that most office chairs are large and black and tend to the 1980s, I wanted to include this one as something that might work for those working in a bedroom, or squeezing in a WFH space in the corner of the sitting room. I have no doubt that this sector will improve over the coming months.

Pols Potten Roundy Armchair AMARA Yes it’s round like it’s name but it’s also angled so the seat is comfortable and the back will gently support you. Perfect for a smaller sitting room where a sofa and traditional armchairs might make the space feel a bit full. Or, if you have a larger sitting room, stick a couple of these in a bay window for a separate conversation or boardgame area (chess anyone?) or even a single one in a corner by a pile of books as a reading corner. It’s immensely versatile and will move happily around rooms and houses for years. Gubi Beetle Low Armchair made in design Well a Beetle chair by Gubi is definitely what you might call an investment piece but what an investment. You know it will hug your back and bottom and fit with any style of decor whether modern or traditional. Uley Bar Stool Garden Trading Bar stools can be tricky as there are loads of really ugly ones. You’ll never have to worry about choosing from those on this site as there just aren’t that many worth buying. However, this one has a back for added support and narrow legs which won’t bring any heaviness to a room that tends to be dominated by slabs of furniture; all those flat-fronted cupboard doors. Norga Armless Chair OKA Definitely not a lounging chair but the thin frame means it appears lighter and less than the sum of its parts. Oddly the back cushions make it look less comfortable but if you want to sit and chat over a cup of coffee or do a little light laptop work this would support your back while you did so. Vasa Linen Lounge Chair OKA An armless chair tucks well into a small space and works for a comfortable conversation or a quiet cocktail moment.
