Side Chairs

Side chairs are a versatile seating option able to be used nearly anywhere, though the dining room is their usual domain. Contemporary side chairs have lean profiles that help them fit nearly any decor, which is perfect for seating that tends to be moved around as needed. Throwing a party? Grab a couple of side accent chairs from the dining room and fit them where you can in the living room. Designer side chairs are those with a pedigree and usually distinctive style and quality. Design Within Reach offers side chairs by some of the most renowned designers in the world. Or, for seating designed to prioritize comfort, shop lounge chairs at DWR.

Side chairs for the living room

Because of their versatile nature and small footprint, side chairs work well as auxiliary seating in any living room, especially when adding options like upholstering or armrests. Side chairs with arms, also known as armchairs, add comfort over side chairs without arms, so are a natural choice. Upholstering is another option for added comfort and would fall in the category of “upholstered side chairs for living room.” A leather side chair, with leather on the seat or also on an armrest, elevates the appeal and the comfort. The main thing to consider when selecting living room side chairs is how they will blend with modern sofas.
