At Room & Board, the arm chair's classic design has been updated for modern living and comes in a range of styles and sizes. From minimalist club chairs to the plushest tufted side chair, arm chairs are a great way to complement a room’s primary color scheme or add contrast with an unexpected fabric pattern or texture.

Enjoy modern, movable comfort in your living room or home office with a swivel chair. Available in a wide range of leather and fabric options, modern swivel accent chairs add 360-degree style to any open space.

Designed without any buttons or levers to spoil the look, Room & Board’s modern recliners invite you to lean back and relax in minimalist style.

Simple and classic, the barrel chair is a modern version of the classic tub chair. Featuring a smooth-gliding swivel, sleek curves and a compact design, the modern barrel chair is an inviting seating option that looks great in pairs.
