How to Style a Tub Chair Without It Looking Cluttered

This guide shows how to style a tub chair so it stays calm and intentional, starting with the value of negative space and the discipline of limiting accessories to one cushion or a single folded throw. We explain why choosing just one companion piece, such as a slim side table or a low foot stool, keeps the footprint tidy, and how a controlled colour palette and a quiet rug bring a sense of order to the corner.
