Choose from a great range of vintage, contemporary, retro and antique chairs

Occasional chairs are incredibly useful, and you’ll find that here at Lesser Spotted, not only do these chairs look great, they can also be put to many different creative uses. If you’re the kind of person to host family gatherings or get the friends around for dinner, you’ll know that you can never have too many places to sit! That’s where occasional chairs come in. Be prepared and use your occasional chairs to flank sideboards in the dining room for extra guests, or tuck them away in the sitting room for when the hordes arrive.

But don’t feel these chairs are only for the main living spaces. A popular choice for these chairs is either side of a console table in a hallway – practical for sitting and removing tricky footwear when you get home after a long day at work, (or a good night out with friends!)

Despite the name, don’t feel these chairs have to be the wallflower in your living space. The beautiful designs will look stunning amongst existing furniture. Colourful and unique, they will add a splash of personality to your favourite room, energising the space. Our range of cocktail chairs really know how to transform a tired-looking space into something fun and well-loved.

However, if you’re struggling for the room in your main living space, don’t worry. These chairs work well anywhere. Consider one of these lovely chairs in a bedroom or drawing room. Our antique leather chairs look stunning in such spaces. Lift-up vintage chairs are great for extra seating and storage in a kitchen, and bold folk occasional chairs really breathe life into a hallway, making a statement as soon as you enter your home. Study rooms and nurseries are also popular homes for this style of chair - ideal for a quick breather!
