A rocking chair is not only a comfortable piece of furniture, but also a way of life: the gentle rocking motion soothes, helps you relax at the end of a long day, and becomes a cozy spot in our home. Whether it's a living room, bedroom, or even a covered terrace, a well-chosen rocking chair can be not only a functional but also a stylish addition to our home. In our article, we introduce the rocking chairs available in our range and help you choose the most ideal type for you - based on colors, materials, and placement suggestions.
Why choose a rocking chair?
The popularity of rocking chairs is no coincidence: their use has a beneficial effect on both body and soul. The rocking motion helps relieve stress, reduces anxiety, and promotes relaxation – especially while reading or listening to music. It can also be a practical choice for families with small children, as rocking can calm the baby and help them fall asleep.
However, not all rocking chairs are created equal – there are different frame designs, upholstery, backrest angles and colours to choose from. When finding the ideal piece, it is worth considering the style of the room, the available space and your personal comfort needs.
1. Modern Scandinavian style – with a wide range of colors

How to choose a rocking chair?
When choosing the right rocking chair, there are a few basic considerations to consider. First, think about where you want to place the chair – a spacious living room will have different considerations than a smaller bedroom or study area.
Size matters: if you have limited space, choose a model with a more compact, slimmer shape.
Style is also decisive: a chair with a wooden frame and a natural color fits well in a Scandinavian or natural interior, while darker pieces with corduroy upholstery fit into more elegant, characterful spaces.
Don't forget about comfort features either - if an adjustable backrest or footrest is important, choose a model that provides this.
Who do we recommend rocking chairs to and who do we not?
A rocking chair can be an ideal choice for those who like to retreat to read, listen to music, or simply relax in a quiet corner. It is also excellent for new mothers and families with small children, as the rocking motion can help calm the baby and put him to sleep. It can also be comfortable for the elderly if we choose a stable, heavy-duty piece.
However, we do not recommend using a rocking chair in homes with very little space or where the space is overcrowded, as rocking requires minimal free space. For those who like very soft, cushy seating, an armchair or sofa may be a more suitable choice.
It is also worth considering for pet owners: the moving rocking mechanism can be an accident hazard if a pet – such as a curious cat or dog – is too close when the chair is in use.

Our rocking chairs are available in different styles, materials, and functions, so you can easily find the model that best suits you and your home.
