Liven Up Your Living Room with These Statement Chairs

Statement chairs allow you to inject a little extra excitement, color and personality into a room. When you add one of these brilliant living room chairs, bedroom chairs or “anywhere chairs” to your home, you’ll spark delight in your guests and showcase your unique tastes.

Here are some terrific statement chairs that you’ll enjoy coming home to each day:

Add an Eames Chair for Classic Flair

Combining artistry with streamlined, functional beauty, an Eames chair is impressive. You’ll get nearly the same satisfaction from a well-done knockoff, so breaking the bank isn’t necessary. Watch as your Eames chair gives your living room an air of timeless style that’s classy, classic and cool.

Use a Wing Chair with a Twist, to Stir Things Up

This high-backed wing chair was crossed with a desk chair, borrowing its swivel base. The combination makes the chair work well in your home office–or place two in the den, flanking the fireplace. Printed fabric with a geometric design adds another eye-catching element.

Emphasize Elegance with a Velvet Chair

Not just for the boudoir, bring velvet into the front room for greater impact. Velvet deepens and enriches a chair’s basic color, while adding texture and a touch of glamour to your living room. A velvet chair need not be tufted or ornate–velvet is elegant even if done in a basic, clean-lined mid-century shape.

Offer a Big Hug with a Shearling Chair

Perfect to furnish a rustic cabin or adorn your favorite reading corner, a cozy Sherpa chair lets you sink instantly into comfy coziness. You’ll never want to leave its warm embrace. A plush-covered, faux fur (or shag-carpet-like) chair would be equally attractive and similarly comfortable.

Provide a Youthful Accent with a Butterfly Chair

Bring the “college dorm” shape and structure of the butterfly chair into the real world–with a substantial and unexpected covering, such as kilim, leather or cowhide.

Let these suggestions inspire your to boost the style of your living room with a new statement chair.
