The best corner chair can save space in your living areas by neatly fitting in a nook to add extra seating. You can opt for an accent corner chair that contrasts with your other furniture or one that fits into your existing scheme. As a fairly niche product, you don't have as many choices with corner chairs, so we've hunted high and low to find some really strong options for your consideration.
