Depending on the style of indoor rocking chair you select, you’ll find that you can enjoy sitting in it for long periods with no discomfort. Consider the chair’s shape, the style of backing, and whether it features an upholstered back or seat cushion before you buy.
For maximum support and pleasure, choose a wooden rocking chair with a cushioned seat and chic leather upholstery or a chair that features a single tufted cushion covering the seat and back.
Some wooden rockers even use a hammock-style rope seat for a relaxing place you can lean back and lounge.
When you’re styling wooden indoor rocking chairs, you’re going to want to bring in an element of comfort. The chair might be hard and angular to sit on, so start by bringing in a bolster or comfortable pillow (or two). Then, cover the arms or the back with a fluffy blanket or even a small sheepskin rug. These colors should match others in the room to provide a cohesive look.
