Valentine’s Day is almost here, but this year I’m happy to skip the traditional flowers and chocolates as I’ve got my eyes on something a little different — a ‘snuggle chair’. The love child of an armchair and a sofa, these pieces of furniture would be a stylish addition to any living room. Not only do they look great, but they’re functional too, offering a comfortable way for one person to stretch out, or for two to get cozy.
If you’re looking for an excuse to cuddle up with the one you love, look no further than the Bouclé Ellison Snuggle Chair at Next. With its cream-colored, luxurious fabric and generously sized seat, it could be the perfect addition to your home for those seeking to 'up' the romance.
The snuggle chair also comes in three other fabrics: Faux Fur Taupe, Chenille Sage Green, and Rust Brown Bouclé fabrics. Plus, if you can’t make up your mind on which is the right one for you, Next lets you order a free fabric sample to try out in your home, so you can find the perfect loveseat for you and your space.

If you’re looking for a subtle pop of color, why not opt for the sage green version of the snuggle chair? Chenille accent chairs are very on-trend this year (chenille, in general, in fact) — and the fabric provides a soft yet durable surface that ensures coziness, while also adding texture to any room.
