An English country chair is an easy way to add timeless elegance to your living room or bedroom. Defined by a solid frame and elegant look, the English style also fits well with French country, farmhouse, and coastal décor schemes. The chairs are usually designed in calm neutrals or feature chintzy patterns reminiscent of traditional English designs. Our design experts have picked out some of the very best English country chairs so you can sit back and relax in style.
Our Picks
Curved English Country Chair
Available in light sand, café mocha, or cream upholstery, this chair also has two frame finish options to choose from. Featuring a solid wood frame and cabriole feet, it’s upholstered in a velvet and linen blend. One toss pillow is included.
Designer Advice:
Full of quintessential English charm, this armchair would make a great accent piece for a narrow living room. Its relatively narrow frame and neutral color scheme will accentuate a small space rather than make it look even smaller. We recommend pairing this chair with a fringed taupe rug and a sage green plaid throw draped over the arm.
Plaid Country Armchair
Sand & Stable™
This armchair has six upholstery finishes to pick from, including tan and gray. It features a classic plaid pattern over a cream background for a gorgeously traditional look. The frame is made of engineered wood, though the legs are solid wood.

Tufted Country Armchair
Inspired by 18th-century European designs, this armchair has nailhead stud detail for a modern touch. It stands upon turned legs made of solid wood and is upholstered in 100% polyester. There are six fabric color choices, including navy and beige.
Designer Advice:
The traditional charm of this country armchair would look beautiful in a French country living room. Opt for neutral beige or natural brown to best fit the theme and add a pop of color with a light blue cushion or throw. As it is wide, we recommend placing this chair next to a large window for a chic look.
