Swivel accent chair sizes and seat height

A swivel accent chair should have a few inches of clearance on every side so it can turn without hitting a table or wall. Widths here run 25.2 to 39 inches, depths 25.2 to 43.3 inches and heights 28 to 34.8 inches.

Where listed, seat heights run 18.5 to 19 inches, close to a standard sofa seat, and seat depths run 19 to 21.5 inches.

Swivel chair placement in the living room

A swivel chair works best where people turn between two focal points, such as the TV and a window view, or the sofa and a dining area.

Set a pair across the coffee table from the sofa, angle one into a reading corner, or place one at the edge of an open kitchen and living area so it can face either space.

Small swivel accent chair and nursery options

A small swivel accent chair suits apartments, bedrooms and corners, and the narrowest models here are about 25 inches wide. Some models are nursery styles, with a supportive seat for feeding and holding a baby.

Some models also add built-in storage for blankets, books or remotes.

Velvet swivel accent chair and other upholstery

A velvet swivel accent chair has a soft, rich pile that catches the light, and select models here use velvet. Chenille, boucle and corduroy add texture, linen gives a lighter look, and vegan leather wipes clean easily.

Gray is the most common color, with beige, brown, white, green, black, yellow and blue also available.

Accent swivel chair construction and care

Most accent swivel chair designs here have a solid wood frame, often solid pine, and most also list a metal frame along with plywood or MDF panels.

Vacuum the upholstery with a soft brush attachment and blot spills rather than rubbing. Check the base now and then for loose bolts, and avoid standing on the seat, since a swivel base can turn unexpectedly.

Frequently asked questions

What is a swivel chair?
A swivel chair is a chair whose seat turns on a pivot or bearing in its base, so you can rotate to face a different direction without lifting or moving the chair. In a living room, a swivel accent chair is usually upholstered, sits at sofa height and has a round or hidden base rather than the wheels of an office chair.
How do you stop a swivel chair from swiveling?
Most upholstered swivel chairs cannot be locked, so the practical way to stop one swiveling is to add friction or limit its movement. Place the chair on a thick rug with a grippy pad, or set it close to a wall or table so it cannot turn far. If you want a chair that never turns, a fixed-base accent chair is the simpler choice.
How does a swivel chair work?
A swivel chair usually works through a round steel plate or ring under the seat that sits on ball bearings or a smooth pivot. When you push lightly with your feet, the upper plate turns on the lower one, rotating the seat while the base stays still. The mechanism is usually hidden under the upholstery or inside a round base.
Are accent chairs comfortable?
Accent chairs can be very comfortable, but comfort depends on the design. Look for a seat height near your sofa's, a seat depth that lets your feet rest flat on the floor, and a back that supports you where you need it. Swivel accent chairs add comfort in use, since you can turn toward the conversation or the TV instead of twisting.
How do you choose accent chairs?
Choose accent chairs by measuring the space first, then matching seat height and scale to your sofa so the group looks balanced. Decide whether you want a swivel base for turning between focal points, then pick upholstery that suits your household, such as vegan leather for easy cleaning or chenille and boucle for texture. Repeat one color from the room.
How do you place accent chairs in a living room?
Place accent chairs in a living room so they complete a conversation group with the sofa. A pair facing the sofa across a coffee table creates a balanced layout, while a single chair angled at one end works in a smaller room. Keep chairs within about eight feet of the sofa, and give swivel chairs room to turn.
