If you've been searching for a standout piece of luxury furniture, look no further than a cozy bouclé accent chair. Just like leather accent chairs, a bouclé option is stylish and warm, adding texture and warmth to your space. Not to mention, these seats are among the most comfortable accent chairs you can find, thanks to their soft materials. But what exactly is bouclé, and will it work for your home?
"Bouclé is a yarn made from looped fiber. The fabric is curly in appearance and is as soft as it looks," Paula Cossarini, product design manager at Article, explains to Bazaar. "It reminds me of the fur you'd find on a cuddly teddy bear, but elevated." One of bouclé's winning elements is its enduring quality, Cossarini adds. "Bouclé makes any piece of furniture timeless. The fabric has longevity and maintains a fresh-out-of-the-box appearance even after years of use. It's also a great material to add visual interest by adding a soft and natural looking texture to the space. Bouclé is a great option if the goal is to create a cozy and warm vibe indoors."

Because bouclé pieces often come in cream or white, knowing how to care for the fabric is essential. "As with any upholstered sofa, treat spills quickly," Cossarini recommends. Soaking up excess moisture with an absorbent towel and then spot cleaning with mild solvent or detergent usually cleans the fabric. And to keep bouclé pieces looking their best, pay close attention to where they're placed. Arranging a bouclé chair away from prolonged direct sunlight will prevent discoloration and fading, the furniture expert says.
With the care and keeping of bouclé pieces out of the way, it's time to choose the perfect version for your space. Ahead, shop the 15 best bouclé chairs for a timeless and cozy addition to your home.
