Occasional Chairs (Re-upholstery, Repair & Restoration)

An occasional chair is as functional in purpose as it is in name: it’s a chair that’s meant to be used on occasion. Typically a wood-framed chair with the frame exposed, these chairs are simple and complementary to a wide variety of design styles. Meant as accessories to your furniture sets, occasional chairs are a great way to solve seating issues when you have visitors or guests.

It is unclear when the term “occasional chair” originated, but it certainly fits the usefulness of the chair. If you have more than the usual amount of people in the house, this is a nice alternative to folding chairs or simply having someone sit on the floor. The beauty of occasional chairs is that they are easy to match with design styles, so while they may not be of the same original set as most of your furniture, they are neutral enough to prevent interfering with the overall style.

Most occasional chairs are quite simple, usually made from wood. They are often lightly upholstered or cushioned in a neutral colour. They are often carved and shaped in a variety of simple styles, made to resemble more complicated design structures without themselves being an accent piece. The goal of most occasional chairs is to blend in, so they are often available in dozens of keyed-down versions of popular styles.

Rather than being a specific type of chair, an occasional chair is more of a concept. The term can refer to anything that goes with a furniture set, but is not actually part of it. They can be used in dining rooms, gathering rooms, or even bedrooms. You will often find occasional chairs in hotel rooms for use as additional seating.
