Living room chairs fall into a few practical groups: lounge chairs, chair-and-ottoman sets, compact accent chairs, rocking chairs, chaise longues and occasional seating borrowed from dining or office ranges. The right choice depends on footprint, seat height, upholstery, and whether you want the chair to anchor the room, pair with a sofa, or fill a smaller corner without taking over.

On this shop, the main options for a sitting room are Eames Lounge Chairs, the Le Corbusier collection, Rocking Chairs, selected Dining Chairs, and some Eames Office Chairs that also work as lounge-adjacent seating. Sizes range from compact dining-chair dimensions of 47 x 53 x 83 cm to chaise-longue dimensions of 56 x 160 x 69 cm, with lounge chair sets at 84 x 85 x 89 cm or 87 x 85 x 84 cm depending on version.
Which living room chairs type should you choose?
The best type depends on how you will use the seat: reading, conversation, TV viewing, occasional use, or as a visual anchor. Size matters as much as style, because some chairs need only 53 cm of depth while others need about 150 cm when used with an ottoman.
If you want a chair for long, settled sitting, a leather lounge chair with ottoman is the main category to look at. In this shop, the standard leather lounge chair with ottoman costs €799–€999 across 26 listings and measures 87 × 85 × 84 cm (W × D × H), with a seat height of 42 cm and an ottoman of 64 × 54 × 44 cm.
The tall leather lounge chair with ottoman costs €949–€1199 across 6 listings and measures 84 × 85 × 89 cm (W × D × H), with a 66 × 55 × 43 cm ottoman; with the ottoman in front, the set takes about 150 cm of depth.
For a lower visual footprint, a lounge chair without ottoman can make more sense. The leather lounge chair only category costs €549–€569 across 4 listings and keeps the same 87 × 85 × 84 cm overall size as the chair in the standard set. One example is Eames Style Lounge Chair Only Rose Wood Normal Base –Tan Brown at €549, 87 x 85 x 84 cm (W x L x H).
If you need something visually lighter and physically smaller, a moulded plywood lounge chair is a different type again. The shop’s moulded plywood lounge chair category costs €149–€169 across 4 listings and measures 56 × 62 × 68 cm (W × D × H). For background on why this shape works in smaller seating areas, see this plywood lounge chair guide.
For movement and a relaxed corner seat, a rocking chair works well. The rocking chair with moulded shell costs €149 across 3 listings and measures 63 × 81 × 76 cm (W × D × H). The category page shows 3 models at €149–€149, including wipe-clean shell seating with solid maple rockers and a polished chrome wire base.
For a long reclined seat rather than an upright chair, a chaise longue is its own category. The chaise longue with chrome cradle costs €639–€849 across 4 listings and measures 56 × 160 × 69 cm (W × D × H). Examples include the Chaise Longue LC4 Pony Skin Le Corbusier Chair at €849, 56 x 160 x 69 cm (W x L x H), and the Chaise Longue LC4 White Le Corbusier Chair at €639, 56 x 160 x 69 cm (W x L x H).
Finally, some homes use compact occasional chairs from the dining range in a living area. The dining-chair category has 17 models at €90–€249, with example size 47x53x83 cm. Good examples are Set of Two Eames DSW Chairs Replica Black at €109, 47 x 53 x 83 cm (W x L x H), Set of Two Eames DSW Chairs Replica White at €109, 47 x 53 x 83 cm (W x L x H), and Set of Two Eames DSW Chairs Replica Light Blue at €109, 47 x 53 x 83 cm (W x L x H).
How do you choose the right chair size for your room?
Choose the size by working from the chair’s footprint first, then its visual bulk, then the circulation space around it. A chair that fits on paper can still feel too large if the back is tall, the shell is deep, or an ottoman extends the full layout.
A compact occasional chair starts around 47 x 53 x 83 cm, as seen in the dining-chair sets. That size can work in bay windows, conversation corners or rooms that already have a full sofa. If you want a matched group, the The fantastic Set of 4 Eames DSW Chairs White Replica is €199, 47 x 53 x 83 cm (W x L x H), while the Set of Four Eames DSW Chairs Replica PU Leather Black is €150, 47 x 53 x 83 cm (W x L x H).
A compact lounge shape is usually broader and lower. The moulded plywood lounge chair at 56 × 62 × 68 cm fits where a full leather lounge set may feel too dominant. A rocker at 63 × 81 × 76 cm needs more depth because of the curved base, even though its width stays moderate.
Full lounge chairs need more commitment. The standard chair-and-ottoman set at 87 × 85 × 84 cm takes one person comfortably, but the ottoman adds another 64 × 54 × 44 cm. The tall version is 84 × 85 × 89 cm, and the shop states that with ottoman in front the set takes about 150 cm of depth. That depth figure is often the decisive one in smaller rooms.
If you are choosing a long reclined piece, the chaise longue at 56 × 160 × 69 cm behaves more like a day seat than a standard armchair. It is narrow, but 160 cm long, so it suits walls or corners where its length will not interrupt movement.
For help placing one larger seat as the room’s visual centre, see this guide to choosing a statement chair. For broader historical furniture context, the V&A furniture collection is a useful background reference.
What matters most when comparing materials, comfort and function?
The decisive checks are upholstery, frame type, whether an ottoman is included, whether the chair swivels or rocks, and how much assembly is involved. In this shop, material differences are clearly defined: lounge chairs use 100% aniline leather on every part, office chairs use mixed leather construction on the contact areas, and dining PU models are sold as PU leather.
The leather lounge chair and ottoman, in every version, use 100% aniline leather on every part, not PU or bonded leather. Standard sets have moulded plywood shells with wood veneer and a five-star swivel base. Tall sets also use 100% aniline leather on every part and need 15–20 minutes of assembly with the tool included. A published example is Tall Version Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – White – Rose Wood at €949, 84 x 85 x 89 cm (W x L x H).
Other tall examples are Tall Version Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – Black – Walnut Wood at €979, 84 x 85 x 89 cm (W x L x H), Tall Version Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – Ivory – Walnut Wood at €1049, 84 x 85 x 89 cm (W x L x H), and Tall Version Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – Waxy Brown – Walnut Wood at €1199, 84 x 85 x 89 cm (W x L x H).
If you want the footstool separately, the matching ottoman category has 3 listings at €275. One example is Classic Charles Eames Lounge Ottoman Replica Black Leather Rose Wood at €275, 64 x 54 x 44 cm (W x L x H). For more on matching proportions, see this guide to an armchair and footstool.
Within the office range, some chairs can cross over into home lounge use. The ES104 lobby chair costs €399 in black, white and tan brown, and €409 in dark brown. Its overall size is 72 × 70 × 91–97 cm (W × D × H), with seat width 58 cm, seat depth 48 cm and seat height adjustable 48–54 cm. If you are considering this route, read the guide on choosing a swivel leather armchair.
By contrast, the D-series mesh chairs are work chairs first: D200, D211 and D222 cost €179 each, come in black, and have breathable high mesh backs, adjustable lumbar support, adjustable neck pillows, 3-level recline, 360° swivel, adjustable seat height and depth, and a 150 kg rating. They suit mixed-use rooms, but they read visually as task seating rather than lounge seating. The related guide on how replica chairs transform office and living spaces explains when cross-over seating works.

What does it cost, and how does delivery work?
Prices for seating that can work in a sitting room start at €90 for compact dining-chair sets and go up to €1199 for tall leather lounge chair and ottoman versions. Delivery terms are the same shop-wide: free tracked DPD delivery to the 25 checkout countries, 1–2 working days to dispatch, and typically 6–9 working days door to door.
The 25 checkout countries are Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The price shown is the price paid, with no extra charge added at checkout and no customs or handling charge collected on delivery in these countries.
Bulgaria, Greece, Malta and Cyprus are not offered at checkout; customers there need to email support@decomica.com before ordering. Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days of confirmation and delivered by DPD, fully tracked. Tracking details are emailed as soon as the order is dispatched.
Most single-product orders ship in one package, while larger pieces may arrive in several boxes. A lounge chair and ottoman set typically ships in two packages, and multi-item orders may be split across deliveries but are dispatched together. Dining chairs need minor assembly, for example four screws per chair, with Allen key supplied and instructions in the box.
Returns are available for 14 days from delivery if the item is unused and in its original packaging. For a change of mind, the refund is made minus a €40 return fee that covers DPD collection. If an item arrives faulty, damaged in transit or wrong, the return is free: DPD collects it and the shop sends a replacement or a full refund if reported within 14 days with photos. Every piece has a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
What mistakes should you avoid?
The most common mistake is choosing by image alone instead of by depth and use. A full lounge chair with ottoman can fit the style of a room but still be the wrong scale if you only measured width.
Another mistake is confusing upholstery types. The lounge chair and ottoman versions are 100% aniline leather on every part, while leather office chairs have genuine leather on the seat and the front of the backrest with matching leather on the underside and outer back. PU leather dining chairs are sold as PU leather, and mesh chairs are mesh. The shop sells no fabric upholstery and no bonded leather.
A third mistake is forgetting assembly and packaging. Tall lounge sets need 15–20 minutes of assembly with the tool included, while chaise longues arrive with no assembly required. During the 14-day return window, keep the original packaging, because returns must be repacked in it.
Last, avoid treating all accent seating as interchangeable. A rocking chair moves, a chaise longue reclines, a lobby chair swivels, and a dining chair sits upright.

Frequently asked questions
Which chair type is best for a small sitting room?
The easiest types to place are compact dining-style occasional chairs at 47 x 53 x 83 cm, moulded plywood lounge chairs at 56 × 62 × 68 cm, and rocking chairs at 63 × 81 × 76 cm. A full chair-and-ottoman set needs much more usable depth, especially the tall version that takes about 150 cm with the ottoman in front.
Are the lounge chairs real leather?
Yes. The lounge chair and ottoman, in every version, are upholstered in 100% aniline leather on every part. Leather office chairs are different: the seat and the front of the backrest are genuine leather, with colour-matched matching leather on the underside and outer back. PU dining models are sold as PU leather.
How are large chairs delivered?
Orders are sent by DPD, fully tracked, after 1–2 working days of dispatch time. Delivery typically takes 6–9 working days door to door. Most single chairs ship in one package, while larger items may come in more than one box; a lounge chair and ottoman set typically ships in two packages.
Can I return a chair if it does not suit the room?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery, provided it is unused and in its original packaging and you have return authorisation from support@decomica.com. For a change of mind, the refund is made minus a €40 return fee for DPD collection. If the item is faulty, damaged in transit or wrong, collection and return are free.
Decomica sells reproductions inspired by mid-century designs, identified as such on every product page; they are not made, licensed or endorsed by the original manufacturers or licence holders. The D-series office chairs are Decomica’s own designs.
