What makes a Recliner look Amazing?
Different furniture has different requirements to be great. A recliner will have different standards from a sofa and massage chair. When it comes to recliner design, there are two main creative directions that we can go, contemporary and traditional.
- Design
- Contemporary
- Traditional
What makes modern recliners stylish and beautiful is their ergonomic beauty. With modern furniture, the focus tends to be on features and we don't talk about the framework and body as much.
To find quality contemporary chairs, you need to look at curves, padding, and limited lines. You will notice that the best recliners have smooth curves which flow in the shape of the chair. They feature slim and sufficient padding that ensures you are comfortable, but the recliner doesn't look bulky. Lastly, limited lines allow for tight and clean upholstery, which is wildly popular in high end chairs.
Reviewing the 10 Best Looking Chairs
1. Cozzia Dual Power ZG Recliner
The Cozzia ZG Recliner is one of the most simplistic, but most beautiful chairs on our list. It works great in any room, not only aesthetically, but it has complete comfortable seating.

The recliners off-white look creates the image of full comfort combined with a modernized appearance. Cozzia uses the beautiful and luxurious ivory upholstery with a multitude of features. They included detachable pillows that give the chair two very particular looks and when the chair reclines, it maintains its appearance by limiting the number of parts that stick out.
Looking at the structure, the solid beechwood base presents a super polished look. Over time, the recliners high-grade bonded leather doesn't peel or lose its shine. Lastly, it meets our checklist; it has comfortable sleek padding, smooth curves, and limited lines that are not overly complicated. You can read our full review here.
2. Human Touch PC-420 Hand-Crafted Manual Recliner
Our next chair is one of the most luxurious recliners on the market. The PC-420 makes reclining complete heaven. Human Touch designed it to be the pinnacle of luxury with elegant leather and sophisticated construction. Along with its looks, customer reviews boast about its flawless functionality and consistency.
Details
What makes this Recliner good looking?
The PC-420's customization options are what sets it apart from other recliners. It transforms into one of the best looking recliners simply because it allows you to have so much control. For example, Human Touch lets you choose between top-grain, premium and faux leather. Our favorite, (like many others), was the top grain leather. It is designed for longevity and style with its stunning pebble-grain texture, and is complemented with gorgeous French, triple-stitch patterns. Additionally, you can choose the wood finish, color, and upholstery of the chair.
Human Touch hand sands and carves the wood from Hevea Brasiliensis. Referred to as the rubber tree, it is one of the strongest woods in the world. Human Touch also uses uncorrected cowhide, which has depleted to a 5% existence rate in the world. You can choose between the following wood finishes to complete your chair:
- Chestnut
- Dark Walnut
- Walnut
Unlike other premium chairs, the PC-420 uses high-tensile strength steel that is sandblasted and powder coated to protect the surface. This ensures durability and a quiet, smooth glide when reclining. Read our complete review of the PC-420 and PC-610.
3. Teyana White Leather Recliner Club Chair
Teyana's beautiful color stood out immediately, but we were surprised with its wide seating. At first glance, it appears to be very small. However, when comparing it to other sofa sets and chairs, it doesn't stick out. It is the ideal recliner for any living room and can complement a wide range of chairs and sofa sets.
Details
What makes this Recliner good looking?
The Teyana's best features revolve around its simple design and limited decorations. Through our reviews, we have advocated for clean lines on contemporary recliners. By combining clean lines and modern recliner curves you will get amazing chairs like the Teyana. It features aesthetically appealing PU leather that is upholstered with a wood frame. The armrests are sleek in curvature and the back of the recliner contains the majority of lines. Most importantly, they add definition without going overboard.
4. Giantex Black Lounger Home Theater Manual Recliner
Our next chair is a best selling recliner! A stylish piece, the Giantex recliner has detailed stitching and a combination of function and fashion. Before we move forward, it is important to note that this recliner is not designed for our big and tall readers, as it doesn't suit people over 6"0.
Details

The Giantex is one of the most affordable, simple and stylish chairs on the market. It is also one of the few recliners that displays depth in appearance, while maintaining a low price. The heavy-duty steel mechanism holds the recliners structure and overall shape. The padding is firm, but controlled in its portrayal, which gives you that sleek look. Two of the most impressive components of the Giantex's presentation include the detailed stitched back cushions and decoratively sewn-in seat that blend with any room setting.
5. Elizabeth Tufted Recliner Arm Chair
Next, we have a premium looking traditional recliner that exudes pure elegance. Few traditional recliners display design like the Elizabeth, and the first on our reviews list. Most importantly, it checks off everything that traditional recliners need to be great.
Details
What makes this Recliner good looking?
The Elizabeth is the definition of a perfect traditional recliner. It has all the components that you want to see in classic recliners. Its design works well with other old furniture, it has a high back, and clean construction. GDF Studio offers the Elizabeth in three different colors brown, dark blue and light gray. Each color gives the chair a different and creative look. We loved to see elegant curves that lead out from the side and are purposefully placed above the armrests.
The tufted back has 10 buttons that are coordinated with clean and simple lines. Silver stitching leads out from the bottom of the recliner and extends up along the armrest. The armrests themselves are curved and the cushion is firmly supportive with a premium base. The front features round legs and the back has square legs that maintain beauty and support simultaneously.
6. Kyle Ruby Faux Leather Ottoman and Swiveling Recliner
A classic BenchMaster design, the Kyle represents vintage creativity. The first thing we noticed about the Kyle was its beautiful ruby color that is tastefully stylish. Recliners with ottomans tend to have distinctive styles, but they often lack strong foundations. With the Kyle, we felt we got the best of both worlds.
Details
What makes this Recliner good looking?
Very few recliners are packed with this many features! BenchMaster went above and beyond with the amount of detail they put into this chair. The faux leather is soft touch and covered in a rich deep ruby color. In comparison to other recliners, the Kyle does have excessive lines. Although they distract from the color, they do add some depth to the body's appearance. The ottoman features a solid circular "o" foundation that consists of a walnut finish. And the curves on the ottoman display contemporary concepts that increase its uniqueness.
Impressive 1.8 density foam and steel springs in the back significantly increase comfort and durability. Furthermore, the entire recliner is wrapped in an elastic Dacron that aids in structural support. To finish, the recliners ottoman opens for storage and has safety hinges, as well as a pneumatic cylinder opener. To ensure that the chairs appearance is maintained, customers can use a vacuum, dry cloth or a wet cloth to clean it.
7. Belleze Modern Accent Recliner Club Chair with Footrest
The Belleze Modern recliner is a combination of contemporary and traditional design. Its identity is hints of a traditional foundation with a modern direction. We see sleekness that is expected in contemporary recliners combined with the structuring of traditional chairs.
Details
What makes this Recliner good looking?
The Belleze recliner packs comfort and style into an ergonomically beautiful package. It sports elegant linen upholstery that adds a graceful look. The frame is solid with sturdy feet which provide great durability and strength to the stability of the recliner. To finish off, the recliners wood legs and upholstery are done in a dark hue that give it a minimalist appearance.
You can fully recline the chair or can raise the footrest into a halfway recline. In regards to placement, the combination of traditional and contemporary design allows this chair to be added to a multitude of rooms, especially small spaces. However, we believe it is best utilized as a reading chair in your living room, bedroom or office. Ultimately, its biggest asset is that it has the ability to contribute to a room without altering the theme.
8. Waldo Brown Leather Recliner Club Chair
The Waldo features a design that is truly representative of classic recliners. These type of chairs are often paired with tufted sofa sets and vintage furniture to portray a luxurious environment. As recliners and living room furniture move towards contemporary themes, traditional recliners are less popular for home decoration. However, the Waldo is one the few traditional styles that brings high praise from home decor enthusiasts.

Drenched in a deep espresso color, the Waldo recliner portrays is authenticity. It sports a wingback style and detailed buttoning and stitching, which shows off its vintage identity. Further, it features extremely clean lines and deeply integrated button patterns, allowing the chairs wide back to display its full range. The round golden detailing on the legs and on the side of the back adds to the classic look while incorporating a darker feel. The round peg legs have been detailed and the chair's footrest aligns perfectly as you lay back in its full recline position. Lastly, we loved the reclining sustainability and firm lumbar support.
9. Monarch Specialties Ivory Bonded Swivel Glider Recliner
The only swivel glider on our reviews list, the Monarch is a cleanly designed contemporary recliner. Upholstered in a chic ivory white, it is a slim back chair with a full range of motion. Simple, but stylish for any room.

This contemporary accent chair combines 3 functional elements. It swivels, glides and reclines, ensuring that you will always be in a comfortable position. Monarch Specialties also made sure that the bonded leather is accompanied with a padded back, seat cushion, and headrest. The narrow back feeds into the design and 4 clean lines on the back direct focus to the stylish cushions.
Multi-function and fashionable construction makes this recliner perfect for your living room, basement, bedroom or den. The fine stitching on the sides and footrest show the time that went into the detailing. Although the padding is slim, it portrays intricate curvatures that complement the sleek armrests. Wrapping it up, we loved the chrome swivel base that is the flaring contribution, which others chairs are often missing.
10. Thomas Payne 3477221 Alternate Latte Euro Chair
The Thomas Payne recliner is the most unique chair in our guide. It has an innovative shape, slim padding, and futuristic design. It brings a Euro style to the world of recliners that we rarely see. What excites us the most about this recliner is its ability to mix and match with other furniture.
Details

The philosophy behind this chair blends together attractive contemporary appearance with state of the art manufacturing. Thomas Payne was able to combine functional engineering with unique design to bring the Euro chair to fruition.
We found the curves are contemporary in design and creative for modern homes. The high-density foam ensures that comfort is not compromised with the sleek and thin padding. And a pop-out footrest, padded armrests and headrest, and swivel motion design provide modern functionality. Overall, the contouring backrest makes the recliner extremely functional and adaptive for any person.
