21 bouclé chairs to liven up texture-lacking living spaces
While interiors trends come and go, bouclé chairs remain just as popular as when they first appeared, thanks to their ability to add texture, colour and character into your home. If you’re yet to invest in this viral home must-have – whether in the form of an occasional accent chair, a stylish set of dining chairs, or a super plush office chair for your WFH set-up – you’re missing a trick. But fear not, we reckon this much-loved furniture piece will be sticking around for some time.
Soft and snuggly with a fleecy upholstery, these accent chairs are not only a statement piece for your living, dining or office space, they're also one of the most comfortable seats you can plant your tush on. Made from synthetic looped fibres to give it a deeply textured, curly look, this tactile fabric can mimic real lambswool or sheepskin – but ‘teddy bear’ is perhaps more descriptive. The best bouclé chairs range in price from as low as £50, all the way up to over £1,000.
The best thing about a statement bouclé chair, especially in its typical neutral colour-way, is that you can simply drop it into any interior scheme and it won't look out of place. If you have busily patterned or brightly hued living room chairs, settees, or sofa beds, or whether your dining space is bold and maximalist, or Scandi inspired and minimalist, a bouclé chair promises to sit pretty on its own, and it won't compete.
Anything to consider when shopping for a bouclé chair? For starters, you'll want to address whether your chair is going to be sitting on hardwood floors or a soft cushy carpet. For the former, add rubber or protective foot stoppers to your list of requirements – a statement chair is not worth permanent damage to your floors. Likewise, if you're likely to upgrade your space in the years to come and are simply purchasing a smaller model now, consider if the design could serve as an office or bedroom chair further down the line. See this deep green accent chair from one of our favourite online furniture stores, Habitat; it's suited to both bedrooms (as that clothes pile chair) and living rooms to provide extra seating for guests. Plus, at just over £150, it's rather reasonably priced compared to other models on the market.

How to clean bouclé chairs
Finding a white boucle chair with a removable cover is a rare thing, so you're going to want to know how to clean yours. Most retailers advise spot cleaning. This means using a clean, dry cloth to first soak up any excess moisture on your boucle fabric. After that, according to retailer Brosa, you'll want to distinguish between oil-based and water-based spills, using another clean cloth dipped in washing liquid for the latter and a dry cleaning solvent (like Dr. Beckmann's) for the former. Brosa advises buyers to be gentle and use small repetitive strokes.
That said, bouclé is low absorption, so you can rest easy knowing you're likely to sort the stain before it causes any permanent damage. And while most bouclé chairs come in light cream, beige or ivory colour-ways, it goes without saying that if you have pets, or kids, or indeed particularly clumsy housemates with a penchant for red wine, you can do your poor nerves a favour by investing in a darker hue – we’ve found some stylish bouclé chairs in rich terracotta shades, mossy dark greens, and even black.
