Accent the living room, bedroom or patio with a reading chair. At West Elm, there's a plethora of chairs perfect for creating a cozy reading nook. You'll also find side tables in various materials and styles, which provide surface space for a table lamp, your book and any other items you want to keep nearby. Some have drawers so you can stash more books and magazines.

Selecting a Reading Chair

It's important for a chair to be stylish, comfortable and versatile. These are all features you'll get when you choose one of the reading chairs from West Elm. Some of the seating options you may find available include:

• Ryder Leather Chair: Create a sophisticated space with the Ryder leather chair. This piece has slender legs for a modern look, along with top-grain leather upholstery for enduring good looks and durability. The type of leather used for this chair develops a patina as it ages, which only serves to enhance its beauty. Pair it with the Ryder ottoman if you want a footrest.
• Finley Lounge Chair: The sleek Finley lounge chair is an excellent seating option for the small reading nook. You can even pair two of these with a table in between for an inviting place to have coffee with a friend. It has mid-century-style toothpick legs that look delicate but are incredibly sturdy. The kiln-dried wood frame resists warping and splitting, while the wingback arms add Italian-inspired flair.
• Malcolm Bentwood Leather Swivel Chair: Impart classic elegance to your reading area with this chair, which offers swiveling action. It has luxurious leather upholstery and a high-backed design to impart sophistication to your space. The polyurethane foam cushioning keeps you comfortable during those extended reading sessions.
• Outdoor Adirondack Chair: Read in the fresh air with an outdoor Adirondack chair. It's crafted from acacia wood for natural beauty and ample durability, with finish options that include teak, gray and Ming blue. When you're not sitting in this ruggedly stylish chair, use a furniture cover to protect it from the elements.

Accent Items for Chairs

Once you've chosen the reading chair that works for your space, consider some accent items to impart style and increase the comfort level. For example, toss a faux fur throw over your lounge chair for cuddly warmth. Add a shag rug beside your chair for visual interest and a luxe feel underfoot. The selection at West Elm has all the seating and home accents you need for a comfortable, chic space.
