Swivel Chairs

Once considered the go-to office chair, setting a high-backed seat atop a swivel column on wheels, the very concept of swivel chairs has expanded in recent years – culminating in a new corner of the market which bridges this functional design with the consumer desire for premium and comfortable yet accessible and portable chairs.

Even home offices have become more stylish in recent years, with office swivel chairs receiving a makeover in colour and design, while the expansion of swivel chair sales into the living space and homemaker market has resulted in fabric swivel chairs for living rooms with static rotating bases and plump, oversized cushions.

With a seat which rotates cleanly and with ease, the basic concept of the swivel chair remains the same as those computer chairs that were popular in the early 2000s. However, the diversity of style, fabric, and finishes has gained a whole new lease of life – catapulting the swivel chair market straight into the throes of modern home design.

Why We Love Swivel Chairs



  • Modern swivel cuddle chairs and chairs for living spaces conceal their adjustable function until you sit in them. The solid bulk of the chair hides the rotating base, presenting a clean aesthetic without unnecessary mechanics.

  • The swivel chair can be adjusted and angled according to the user – for example, turning to watch the television or to facilitate better conversation with someone standing on the other side of the room. All this without moving the base an inch.

  • Modern swivel chairs are as comfortable as they are stylish, with a wide range of chair designs helping homeowners select the model and design which best compliments their home. For example, a leather swivel chair can instantly elevate a home office, while a velvet swivel chair adds a layer of elegance and luxury to your living room.

  • A swivel chair is an effortless statement and focal point for your home and can be used as a space filler in a large open plan space or as a piece which unites two different areas of the home.


Swivel Chair FAQs


What’s the best flooring for swivel chairs?


While old-school computer chairs on wheel castors – aka the original swivel chairs – worked best on hard floors, the benefit of modern swivel chairs is that they can be integrated into any space, particularly those with a static rotating base. From the solid shape of a chair with a concealed base to the modern office swivel chairs which are set upon angular wooden frames, the design of the chair will help you to determine its ideal location – from the minimalism of a hardwood or tiled floor to the luxury of a carpet.

How do I choose a great swivel chair for my home?


Swivel chairs are often bigger than most homeowners first think and require more surrounding space than a standard armchair (if you want to maximise the swivel function). As such, make sure to measure the space and your chosen chair accurately, focussing on how the chair will fit into and frame the space as well as how the colour and design will match the surroundings.

Who uses swivel chairs and where in the home should I have one?


Placement plays a major role in the colour and style of swivel chair you opt for, with homeowners encouraged to think about a location where the chair provides adequate leg room around its entire circumference. With so many finishes, sizes, and structures available, swivel chairs can be an excellent tool for older users, home workers, solo occupants, and couples seeking a swivel cuddle chair.

No matter what style you go for, we suggest heading to a showroom to determine how the chair looks fully assembled and how much space it requires in order to be fully usable without looking too cramped. For the most reliable designs, head to furniture retailers and specialist chair suppliers.
