- 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.
- French Stripe oversized armchair Cox & Cox
Stripes work in any setting either to cut through a maxmimalist floral scheme or to soften a more minimal pared back setting. This is a traditional shape but the high legs and tall back will make it very supportive.
- Ferm Living Desert Armchair made in design
Ferm Living produced a collection of rugs made from recycled bottles last year and now they have extended the range to include this modernist style chair suitable for indoors or out making it particularly relevant for the times we find ourselves in. The getting up will be harder than the sinking into mind.
- 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. The classic deco-style cocktail chair has become a bit of a cliché but this is minimally beautiful. Buy a pair of one in each colour for a not too matchy matchy set and mix up the cushions with the seasons.

How to get a feature wall right ON THE BLOG...Feature walls have been controversial for a long time as interior designers try to persuade, often to no avail, homeowners why they shouldn’t have them. I have, however, worked out the problem and if you adopt this technique a feature wall will always look brilliant.
- Farrah Woven Chair Garden Trading
