What is a butterfly chair?
A butterfly chair is a distinctive style of occasional seating traditionally characterised by a sling-shaped seat suspended from a frame. Its recognisable silhouette creates a relaxed look that works particularly well in informal living spaces. Depending on the design, butterfly chairs can feature metal frames, fabric or leather-style seats and a range of colours and finishes. Their distinctive appearance makes them a popular option for customers looking to add an individual accent chair without introducing bulky furniture into a room.
Butterfly chairs for different spaces
Butterfly chairs for living rooms
A butterfly chair can provide additional seating in a living room without the visual weight of a larger armchair. Place one beside a sofa, near a window or in an unused corner to create a comfortable spot for relaxing. For a coordinated living room, pair your butterfly chair with a piece from our sofas collection. You can also explore coffee tables for a practical surface beside your seating area.
Butterfly chairs for bedrooms
A butterfly chair can create a useful seating area in a bedroom, whether you want somewhere to sit while getting ready or a relaxed corner for reading. Consider the available floor space and choose a chair with dimensions that allow comfortable movement around the bed and other bedroom furniture.
Butterfly chairs for reading corners
Create a dedicated reading corner by placing a butterfly chair beside a floor lamp and a small side table. A supportive frame and comfortable seat can make the chair a practical addition to a quiet corner of your home. Explore our [side tables] collection for a convenient place to keep books, drinks and other everyday essentials.
Butterfly chairs for compact spaces
Butterfly chairs can be useful in smaller rooms where a large armchair might take up too much space. Their distinctive frame and sling-style seat can create an interesting focal point without requiring a traditional upholstered armchair. Always check the overall width, depth and height before buying to ensure the chair fits your available space.
How to choose the right butterfly chair
Consider the frame material
The frame affects the chair's appearance, construction and overall stability. Check the individual product specifications to understand the frame material, finish and care requirements.
Choose the right seat material
Butterfly chairs can feature different seat materials, depending on the design. Consider the texture, appearance and maintenance requirements when selecting a chair for your home.
Find a colour that suits your interior
Choose a colour that complements your existing furniture and décor. Neutral shades can work well in understated interiors, while darker or brighter colours can create a more noticeable accent.
Check the chair dimensions
Measure your available floor space before ordering. Compare the chair's width, depth and height with the space where you intend to position it.
Consider everyday use
Think about whether the chair will be used occasionally or as part of your everyday seating. Review the product description for information about its intended use, construction and care.
Butterfly chairs for different interior styles
Modern interiors
A butterfly chair can complement a contemporary room through its distinctive silhouette and simple frame. Pair it with clean-lined furniture and understated accessories for a coordinated look.
Industrial interiors
A metal-frame butterfly chair can work well with industrial-inspired interiors featuring metal accents, darker colours and natural textures.
Minimalist interiors
For a minimalist room, choose a butterfly chair in a neutral colour and keep surrounding accessories simple. This allows the chair's distinctive shape to stand out without overcrowding the space.
Relaxed and eclectic interiors
Butterfly chairs can also suit relaxed interiors that combine different textures, colours and furniture styles. Use one as an accent piece alongside existing seating to introduce visual interest.
Butterfly chairs versus traditional armchairs
Butterfly chairs and traditional armchairs serve similar seating purposes but have different designs. A butterfly chair typically features a sling-style seat and a distinctive supporting frame, creating a more relaxed and informal appearance. A traditional armchair generally has a more structured seat and back, often with upholstered cushioning. Choose a butterfly chair if you prefer its recognisable silhouette and informal aesthetic. If you want a more conventional upholstered seat, explore our [armchairs and lounge chairs] collection for alternative seating styles.
How to style a butterfly chair
A butterfly chair can become a focal point when it is positioned thoughtfully within a room.
-
Beside a sofa: Add occasional seating to your living room without replacing your existing furniture.
-
Near a window: Create a relaxed spot for reading or enjoying natural light.
-
In a bedroom corner: Introduce a practical seat while making use of an otherwise unused area.
-
Beside a side table: Create a convenient place for books, drinks or decorative accessories.
-
With a floor lamp: Establish a dedicated reading corner with suitable lighting.
For a coordinated look, choose accessories that complement the chair's frame and seat colour.
