+What a wing chair does differently
The wings are not just decoration. Set either side of a tall back, they draw the chair around your shoulders, which makes it a comfortable place to read for an hour and a genuinely cosy seat beside a fire or a draughty sash window. The upright posture suits anyone who prefers to sit properly rather than recline, and the tall silhouette gives a room useful height where the rest of the furniture sits low.
Because of that height, a wing chair also works well as the piece that anchors an awkward corner or flanks a fireplace in pairs. If you would rather recline, our recliner chairs offer the same support with an adjustable back, and our occasional chairs cover the lower, more decorative accent shapes.
Fabric, leather and tweed
Cover choice changes the character of a wing chair completely. A traditional weave or tweed leans into the classic country feel, while a plain fabric in a soft neutral keeps the shape but lets it sit comfortably in a contemporary room. Leather brings warmth and a handsome patina, and studded arm facings add a note of craftsmanship that suits the shape particularly well.
Browse our leather chairs and fabric chairs pages to compare, or see the full spread of shapes across our chairs and armchairs range. The Buckley range is a good place to start if you want the chair to coordinate with a sofa, and the Buckley Wing Chair is available in a wide choice of fabrics and velvets. A matching footstool completes the corner nicely.
