Whether you need to hide clutter or maximise space, Next’s new designer-looking boucle chair does both. The chic curved accent chair secretly hides spacious storage beneath the seat, making it perfect for small living rooms and compact homes.
Upholstered in a soft oyster boucle fabric, the stylish Clemmie storage accent chair (£375) lifts up to reveal plenty of room for blankets, baskets, controllers and even snacks. Better still, the seat pad removes fully, so you can make the most of all 88cm of storage space.

The wooden ball feet not only feel sturdier than plastic alternatives, but also give the chair a designer-inspired Scandi look — especially paired with the soft cream boucle fabric. Raising the seat slightly off the ground also helps light flow through the room, which can make small spaces feel bigger and less crowded.
This chair is practical, too. Assembly is refreshingly simple, with the chair arriving almost fully built — all you need to do is attach the feet.

The armless design makes the chair even more space-saving, allowing it to slot neatly into awkward corners and underused nooks. Style it beside a bookshelf to create a cosy reading corner, or place it next to a sofa when you need extra seating without overwhelming the room.
We’re also big fans of the soft boucle upholstery, which adds warmth, texture and an extra cosy feel. The subtle cross-hatch finish gives the chair a designer hotel look without the hefty price tag, while contrasting cushions and throws will make it feel even more elevated and inviting.
Worried about keeping the cream boucle clean — or simply prefer a pop of colour? The Next smart weave Clemmie storage accent chair (£350) also comes in an on-trend sage green shade, and is £25 cheaper than the oyster version.
