Reading Chairs

Why would I need a reading chair?

A reading chair isn’t just another piece of furniture to fit your floor plan; it’s the ultimate cosy spot for you to sink into soft cushions, unwind, and lose yourself in a good book.

That’s not to say that you shouldn’t think about how this chair fits into your home’s décor. In fact, it’s the perfect opportunity to add a contrasting colour, texture, or silhouette to your living room that really ties the whole space together.

Maybe you want to opt for the classic look of an armchair, providing a cosy cocoon to finish reading your next chapter. Or perhaps you’d prefer a recliner that lets you put your feet up and relax. You might even want a loveseat to fit multiple avid readers. The choice is yours!

 

Where should I set up my reading chair?

Finding the perfect place for your reading chair is all about creating the right atmosphere.

For example, if you want to create a cosy reading nook in your living room or bedroom, try placing the chair close to a window for lots of natural light. Then, add a small side table for a brew, and a lamp for evening reading sessions to complete your cosy reading corner.

You can also create a more sociable reading hub for households with more than one book lover. Simply place two matching chairs opposite each other in a corner of a room, ideally next to a bookcase brimming with novels.

Alternatively, you can add a swivel chair to your reading set-up to enjoy the best of both worlds. When you want some quiet reading time, position the chair to face the window, then effortlessly swivel back to join the rest of the room when you want to join the conversation.

 

How do I clean my reading chair?

A well-loved reading chair will see its fair share of accidental spills and crumbs. But don’t worry, with a little regular care, you can ensure the reading chair you love will last for years to come.

For general upkeep, a gentle vacuum with a soft brush attachment will help to lift any dust or crumbs. If a spill happens, the key is to act quickly. For fabric chairs, blot the area with a clean, damp cloth to prevent the spill from setting. For leather, a simple wipe-down is usually all that’s needed. Be sure to use the specially formulated products from our fabric or leather care kits to ensure staining doesn’t occur.

Every material is different, which is why we provide detailed care guides tailored to your specific chair over on our Help Centre.
