The Best Cozy Accent Chairs for Fall Reading
What is something that represents fall for you? Maybe it’s the leaves turning color or thick, chunky scarves. As furniture lovers, the first thing that comes our mind is a plush accent chair. The perfect one is designed for lounging, snuggling, and curling up with a good book — prime fall season activities. That’s why we’ve curated the coziest accent chairs to complete your reading nook, bedroom, or living room. Get ready to sink into comfort.

Selecting a Cozy Chair

When choosing a cozy chair, your top priority should be comfort. What makes a chair comfortable may be different for everyone, so think about what makes a chair feel the coziest for you. Do you prefer a chair so plush you can sink right in? Or do you need more support to feel comfortable? Do you like soft upholstery such as velvet or cotton, or are you comfiest on cool, sleek faux leather


Next, consider how your cozy seating will be used. You may need different types of comfort for a reading chair where you plan to relax than for an office chair designed to help you be productive. 


Finally, think about where the chair will be located and how you plan to style it. Consider the aesthetic of the rest of the room and try to match it. Again, keep in mind your own comfort, even as you try to match your interior design

Types of Cozy Chairs

You may want a slightly different kind of cozy chair for different purposes. Each type of cozy seating can be comfortable in its own way while still fulfilling its unique role. 

Cozy Reading Chair

A cozy chair is the perfect place to settle down and curl up with a good book.  


A reading chair should be optimized for maximum relaxation. Choose a design that you’ll be comfortably curled up in for hours. This might be a chair that’s extra plush with plenty of cushions to help you create the ideal balance of support and snuggle.

Cozy Accent Chair

A cozy accent chair is the ideal place to relax while holding a conversation with friends or taking a break from housework. Typically, an accent chair coordinates with your other seating in a living room, guest room, or home office. 


Accent chairs are often just as decorative as they are functional. Because of this, they can come in some unique designs that are both visually interesting and comfortable to sit in. 

Cozy Office Chair

A cozy office chair has the difficult job of balancing comfort and productivity. You’ll want a seat that’s soft and cozy enough to make you feel relaxed, but you don’t want to be so relaxed you can’t get anything done. Look for a chair that offers plenty of support, particularly in the lower back, to help keep you comfortable while working for long periods. 


An ideal cozy office chair might be something more structured, such as a leather armchair with chic metal legs or a swivel base. Then you can make it more cozy by styling it with elements such as throw pillows or soft blankets

Styling a Cozy Chair

When styling a cozy chair, you’ll want to pair it with cozy accents. Think soft items, such as throw blankets and plush pillows. Place a pillow or two on the seat for extra cushioning. Drape a fluffy throw blanket over the armrest or the back of the chair. 

If you don’t want a lot of items in the chair, you could also place extra pillows and blankets in a tasteful basket placed beside the chair. You can even change them out for the season, incorporating them into your holiday decor

If you really want to dial up the relaxation, add a soft ottoman or footrest. There’s nothing cozier than putting your feet up while you dive into a good read or catch up with loved ones. 

Where To Buy the Best Cozy Seating

There are plenty of places to find cozy chairs for your home. Many furniture outlets offer a selection of cozy seating. For cozy chairs on a budget, you could try local thrift shops or antique stores. You can also find a wide selection of affordable cozy seating at Furniture.com

F.A.Q.

How can I make my chair more cozy?

There’s nothing as relaxing as sinking into a cozy chair after a long day. If your chair doesn’t quite meet your comfort standards, there are plenty of simple ways to make it more inviting.  


Start by draping a comfy blanket across the back of the chair. A thick flannel or knitted throw will keep you toasty in the winter, while a lightweight cotton one provides breathable comfort in warm weather. 


An ottoman is another cozy essential. This furniture lets you prop up your feet while you sit down and relax. It also gives you extra storage for blankets, a heating pad, or a stack of books. 


The right lighting will help you create the perfect relaxation space, too. Forget about harsh overhead lighting — it’s all about that soft, ambient glow. Place a warm floor lamp near your chair, or string twinkling fairy lights overhead for an enchanting reading nook

What style of chairs are most comfortable?

There’s a reason why recliners are the stereotypical “dad chair”: they’re incredibly comfortable. Made from ultra-soft materials like leather and upholstery, they make it hard to get back up. They also fully recline and have adjustable footrests, perfect for sneaking in an afternoon nap. 


If you love to read, you can’t go wrong with a comfortable chaise lounge chair. This design lets you prop up your feet, and it often has one or two arms to support your.


Upholstered swivel chairs are another top choice. This furniture gives you a 360-view of the room, so you’ll never have to worry about straining your neck to see the TV or someone across the room.
