FAQs

1. What is an occasional chair?

An occasional chair is an extra seat for guests or quiet moments. It's smaller than a sofa and easy to move. It also works as a stylish accent piece.

2. Where should I put an occasional chair?

Try a bedroom corner, a reading nook or a spot beside the fireplace. Hallways and landings work well too. Add a side table and lamp to finish the spot.

3. Which fabric is best for an armchair?

Velvet feels soft and adds a luxury look. Chenille is durable and cosy. Faux leather wipes clean easily, so it's great for busy homes.

4. Does an occasional chair need to match my sofa?

No, a contrasting chair adds interest. Pick a colour already used in your cushions or rug. This ties the room together nicely.

5. How do I care for a velvet chair?

Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth. Brush the pile lightly to keep it looking fresh.

Our Story

Havenheim is the business that grew out of my search for the right pieces of furniture to store and show off my book collection. My very own library. I wanted floor to ceiling books. I found beautiful bookcases online. I loved the attention to detail of the craftspeople who made them.
