The living room is the heart of every home. A space where comfort and connection come together. Whether you’re gathering with family, reading by the window, or relaxing after a long day, having a swivel accent chair keeps you engaged with every part of the room.
“These versatile chairs offer a perfect blend of style and functionality, making them an essential piece for any living room,” says Tim Young, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club.
At La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau, and Kingston, we offer a wide selection of swivel accent chairs that provide both 360-degree comfort and timeless design. In this article, we’ll highlight the Top 5 best-selling La-Z-Boy swivel chairs, from compact, modern silhouettes to high-leg statement pieces.

A swivel accent chair allows you to rotate 360 degrees effortlessly, making it ideal for open-concept spaces where flexibility and movement matter. Unlike stationary chairs, swivel models let you turn toward conversations, the TV, or the view outside, all without moving the chair itself.
At La-Z-Boy, swivel chairs combine smooth, durable mechanisms with supportive comfort and customizable design. Whether you prefer a high-leg style for a more structured look or a low-leg silhouette for cozy comfort, these chairs adapt perfectly to your living room needs.
This also makes swivel accent chairs perfect for modern, open-concept homes. To learn more about Open-Concept Arrangements, take a look at this article.
