The 15 Best Swivel Chairs for Your Home if Ya Really Wanna Turn Heads

If this pretty swivel chair looks familiar, that's probably because it's the star of your TikTok FYP. Why's it such a hit? The extra-wide seat makes it possible to sit cross-legged, which is why everyone's calling it the "crisscross chair." Legit thousands of people have raved about it on the clock app, waxing poetic about how it's a work-from-home hero. It features a firm-yet-comfy seat for long work sprints and an armless design so you can easily slide in and out.

Glowing review: "TikTok made me buy it and I don’t regret it for a second. It’s wide and comfy and was super easy to put together. My cats can sit with me. My back has not hurt since I got it. I used to sit on a yoga ball and I love this so much more. Nothing but great things to say about it about a month into owning it."

I promise you're sacrificing nothing when choosing this faux leather swivel chair over something made from genuine leather. It has distressed markings that make it look like a heirloom from your grandparents, plus a feather-topped foam cushion seat that's a damn treat to sink into. But perhaps my favorite part is that it has a subtly curved base, which looks so good in midcentury-modern-inspired spaces (but complements just about every design style, tbh).

Glowing review: "This chair is super comfy. It easily seats two people, and it’s become a favorite spot for reading and taking naps."

She's understated yet oh-so chic! This cream beauty is a match made in heaven for anyone who loves to switch up their decor on the reg. (I mean, it literally goes with everything!) Oh, and I can't forget to mention the wooden base, which adds just the right touch of je ne sais quoi.

Glowing review: "The upholstery is beautiful and looks just like pictured online. The wood base looks really nice and is so much better than an exposed metal ring like other models have."

Monochrome is great and all, but sometimes a space calls for a little something extra. Maybe this trellis-patterned barrel chair is what yours is missing? I, for one, am obsessed. The fabric has a subtle wool-like texture that makes it feel like a luxe splurge, and the rounded silhouette, paired with a deep seat, makes it v inviting.

Glowing review: "This chair has continually stolen the show in my living room. Everyone that sees it loves it, and when they sit in it, they express how comfortable it is."

Ready to break away from safe neutrals (but aren't quite ready to get risky with patterns)? Say heeey to this eye-catching swivel chair, available in a rusty brown color and bright yellow. Your guests will have no idea it can spin until they give it a whirl, all thanks to its conspicuous design. With its sculptural pedestal base, this chair doesn't just sit there; it makes a hell of a statement.

Glowing review: "The color is very pretty in person—it is almost peachy in some lights! We love that they swivel. Our cats love them too and they don’t get totally covered in cat hair the way other materials do."

Clearly, you don't have to stress about this swivel chair being too short or not supportive enough. It boasts a curved shape that hugs you just right, so you feel cocooned and cozy. (The headrest even has a built-in pillow so you can really zen out!!) And the wooden swivel base makes it look all the more luxurious.

Glowing review: "These chairs are even more beautiful in person than online. They add so much character to my home and I have received tons of compliments. They are my favorite chairs."

This is not your average recliner. It has a contemporary design and a tall, cushy pillow back that blends into any room. While it's a nursery fave thanks to its rocking and reclining features, who's to say it's just for moms and babies?! We could all use that kind of comfort, tbh.

Glowing Review: "Very soft and comfortable. I searched all over town for a rocking, gliding, swivel recliner and all the salespeople laughed at me when I told them what I wanted. Now who is laughing!? This chair is perfect."

She's a beaut, isn't she? With its curved base, tufted detailing, and soft velvet upholstery, it's hard not to fall in love with this accent chair. It's ideal for those who love to make a statement and sure to leave guests asking where you got it.

Glowing review: "This chair is both beautiful and functional. The fabric is soft and it's deep enough to curl up on."

The bouclé upholstery trend is here to stay, and I'm all for it. This piece is on the firmer side, so if you're looking for something you'll sink right into, this might not be for you. But that's not stopping reviewers from obsessing over it. It nails the high-end aesthetic without draining your wallet, and it even includes a pillow, so no extra styling is required.

Glowing review: "Okay, stop it with this chair!!! A designer I work with picked these out and I had my doubts but literally it’s so stylish, crazy comfortable, and not priced badly. Both of my young adult daughters took to Instagram immediately with photos of it! You can’t go wrong!"

Hunting for a swivel armchair that doesn't eat up a ton of space can be a challenge. That's precisely why this sleek, non-bulky Wayfair bestseller has such a large fanbase: It's the perfect size for those looking for a barrel chair that's not too big and not too small, but juuust right. It has one of the narrowest widths on this list, but don't worry—it's still roomy enough to sit comfortably.

Glowing review: "Oh my gosh love love LOVE these chairs. Could not be happier. Researched for the perfect chairs to fit in a small area and these turned out to be perfect. They look great and stylish, love that they are not on legs so they feel very sturdy and strong. The swivel is fantastic and the fit is comfortable for all."

This barrel chair and ottoman duo is what two-in-one furniture dreams are made of. As you might already realize from the photo, it's a treat to lounge in—basically the quintessential spot for kicking back with a good book. And the best part? The ottoman secretly doubles as a stash spot for extra doodads that need a home—our little secret. (Hehe.)

Glowing review: "Comfortable and super easy to assemble. The chair is great but the ottoman takes it to the next level. I love how you can just swivel to the side to get out instead of having to push the ottoman out of the way. My new favorite chair."

Swivel dining chairs deserve way more love, especially when they look this damn good! Shoppers appreciate how this one—which is super sleek with clean lines and a steel base—makes it possible for guests to swivel off their seats without having to awkwardly shuffle back to get up from the table. But I will say, contrary to its name, this chair is versatile—aka you don't just have to place it at your dinner table. Use it to sit at your vanity, desk, or wherever else feels right.

Glowing review: "We’ve had the chair for months now…it is sleek and surprisingly comfortable. The swivel is amazing and allows for the chair to be used in numerous rooms in our open floor plan home. Happy with purchase and in total I own eight of these chairs."

Don't sleep on The Home Depot, people! Case in point: this wicker patio chair. The cushions come with CushionGuard protection, shielding them from all sorts of stains—wine, BBQ sauce, whatever you throw at it—and also prevents the color from fading under the sun.

Glowing review: "These chairs are perfect and exactly what I was looking for! If you’re deciding on them just get them! I love the swivel and rock features. Cushions are thick and comfortable. My nephew put them together and it took him about two hours."
