Boucle chair texture and feel

A boucle chair feels soft and slightly bumpy to the touch, because the looped yarn creates small curls across the surface. The texture adds depth to a room even in a plain neutral, which is why boucle is often chosen in beige, cream and white.

Loops can catch on sharp claws, jewelry or rough zippers, so a household with cats may want to place the chair where scratching is less likely.

Boucle swivel chair and barrel shapes

A boucle swivel chair turns on its base, so you can face the TV, a window or the conversation without moving the chair. Some models here swivel, some have a curved or barrel shape that wraps around the sitter, and some are armless for a slimmer profile.

Some styles also suit a nursery, and some have a deep seat for curling up.

Boucle accent chair sizes and room fit

A boucle accent chair should leave room to walk around it and sit at a similar height to nearby seating. Widths here run 26 to 64 inches, depths 27.6 to 51.5 inches and heights 25.6 to 33 inches, from compact accent chairs to wide lounge chairs.

Measure the spot and doorways before you choose, and allow about 18 inches between the chair and a coffee table.

Boucle fabric chair frames and construction

A boucle fabric chair here is built on a frame that most often uses solid wood. Some models add a metal frame, and some use plywood or MDF panels.

Some models also use sherpa, a fluffier pile fabric that pairs well with boucle's looped texture.

White boucle chair care

A white boucle chair stays bright with regular vacuuming using a soft upholstery brush, which lifts dust out of the loops without pulling them. Blot spills right away with a clean white cloth, working from the outside in.

Never rub or scrub boucle, and trim a pulled loop with scissors rather than pulling it. For stains, follow the care label on your model.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is a boucle chair?
A boucle chair is a chair upholstered in boucle, a fabric made from looped or curled yarn that creates a soft, nubby texture. The loops can be made from wool, cotton or synthetic fibers such as polyester. Boucle chairs are often accent chairs, barrel chairs or swivel chairs, and they are popular in neutral colors where the texture stands out.
How do you clean a boucle chair?
Clean a boucle chair by vacuuming it regularly with a soft brush attachment to lift dust from the loops. For spills, blot right away with a clean cloth and a little water or mild soap solution, working from the outside of the spot in, and never rub, which can fuzz or pull the loops. Check the care label before using any cleaner.
How do you clean a white boucle chair?
Clean a white boucle chair by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, then blotting any spill quickly with a white cloth so no dye transfers. Use a small amount of mild soap and water, test it on a hidden spot first, and let the area air dry. Avoid bleach and heavy scrubbing, and follow the care label on your chair.
How do you pronounce boucle chair?
Boucle is pronounced boo-KLAY, with the stress on the second syllable. The word comes from French, where it means curled or looped, which describes the fabric's looped yarn. So a boucle chair is said boo-KLAY chair, and you will sometimes see it written with an accent mark over the final e.
What is the fiber content of a boucle chair?
The fiber content of a boucle chair depends on the fabric. Boucle can be woven from wool, cotton or synthetic fibers, and polyester boucle is common on accent chairs because it holds up well to daily use. Check the listing or care label for your chair's exact fiber content before choosing a cleaning method, since wool and polyester need different care.
Is there a boucle swivel chair?
Yes. Some boucle chairs here swivel, turning on the base so you can face a TV, window or conversation without moving the chair. Swivel boucle chairs come in barrel and accent chair shapes, and select swivel models are nursery styles. Check the width and depth of each model to make sure the chair can turn freely in its spot.
