Find your perfect style
Our collection features a range of designs to suit different tastes and interiors.

If you're after something with natural warmth and texture, the Ramsden Rattan Chair brings inviting tub-style comfort with beautiful rattan upholstery. For a more traditional look with a contemporary edge, our Oliver armchairs in Tan or Ivory Premium Leather feature rich top-grain leather and walnut-finished legs that add depth and sophistication.
Designed for comfort and practicality
We understand that an occasional chair needs to work as hard as it looks good. That's why our collection includes options with high backrests for added support, tub-style shapes that wrap around you, and carefully considered proportions to suit different spaces. The Whittington Chair and Footstool is particularly versatile – ideal for nurseries, home offices, or living rooms – and comes complete with a matching footstool for ultimate relaxation. Many of our chairs arrive fully assembled, so you can start enjoying them straight away.
Built with our Signature Cotswold Quality
Crafted from solid hardwoods including oak and ash, and upholstered in carefully selected fabrics and premium leathers, our occasional chairs are made with care to stand the test of time. Each piece is backed by our 15-year structural guarantee, giving you confidence in your investment. From the exposed wooden frames to the supportive cushioning, every detail reflects our commitment to traditional craftsmanship and lasting quality – furniture you'll buy once and love for a lifetime.
What materials and fabrics are the occasional chairs made from?
Our occasional chairs are crafted from high-quality materials designed to last. The Broadwell armchair features a solid ash framework, while the Ramsden Rattan chair combines a solid ash frame with beautiful rattan upholstery. The Whittington chair and footstool has sturdy oak legs and is upholstered in a neutral stone fabric. For those who love leather, the Oliver armchair is upholstered in soft, top-grain premium leather – available in Tan or Ivory – with an exposed ash frame finished in a warm walnut tone.
Are the chairs available in different colours or upholstery options?
Yes, we have chairs available in different colours and upholstery options. The Oliver armchair comes in both Tan and Ivory premium leather finishes. The Broadwell armchair, Ramsden Rattan chair and Whittington chair and footstool each come in their signature upholstery – a neutral stone fabric for the Whittington, and natural rattan for the Ramsden.

Do the chairs arrive fully assembled or will some assembly be required?

Are the occasional chairs compatible with other Cotswold Company furniture ranges?
Yes, our occasional chairs work beautifully with other furniture throughout your home. The Broadwell armchair pairs perfectly with the Broadwell small sofa to create a matching set for larger spaces. The Ramsden Rattan chair, Whittington chair and footstool, and Oliver armchairs in both Tan and Ivory Premium Leather all feature timeless designs that complement our wider collections, making it easy to mix and match pieces across different rooms.
How do I care for and clean the upholstery and wooden frames?
To keep your upholstery looking its best, regularly vacuum and brush the fabric to remove dust and debris. For everyday spills, immediately blot with a damp, clean white cloth – don't rub, as this can damage the fabric. For velvet upholstery, use a velvet brush or gentle steam to erase light marks, avoiding water which can damage its appearance. Wooden frames benefit from occasional dusting with a soft cloth and mild wood-friendly detergent. We recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 18 months or so. Give cushions regular plumping to maintain their shape and comfort, and flip reversible cushions to ensure even wear. For detailed care instructions, visit our Sofas and Armchairs Care Guide.
What warranty or guarantee is included with the chairs?
All chairs come with The Cotswold Company 15-year Structural Guarantee, covering structural elements including frames, joints, hinges and handles. For upholstered chairs, this includes frames, springs and webbings. This guarantee gives you added peace of mind that your chair is built to last. Find out more about our 15-year guarantee.
What is the returns policy if a chair is not suitable?
We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If your chair isn't quite right, we offer no quibble returns on all orders. You can return or exchange your chair, or if you've simply changed your mind, we'll make the process as seamless as possible. Our 15-year guarantee also covers all structural elements including frames, joints, hinges and handles, giving you complete peace of mind.
