10 stylish living room chairs you need now

The Dramatic

Nothing adds more of a pop than a dramatic hue. This blue tufted swoop arm mid-century chair is a brilliant source of colour (and style) against a neutral couch, rug and coffee table. Teamed up with nearby accent pillows and modern art, this room’s got pizzazz.

The Floral

A floral printed chair will keep happy summer vibes going year round. West Elm’s team-up with Kate Spade Saturday has given way to gorgeous pieces like this stunning armchair. They’ve covered their classic Anders Chair in Kate Spade Saturday’s floral print. This is a modern take – traditional floral works too.

The Unique

If the rich upholstered look isn’t for you, try opting for a minimalist design. This bowl chair from West Elm is an instant statement piece, without taking up too much leg room.

The Chesterfield

Though traditional in style, a chesterfield chair can look contemporary when paired with modern surroundings. Sure, one of these will cost you, but its rich upholstery and timeless elegance will keep it in your living room (and family) for generations to come.

The Relaxed

If your living room supports more of a relaxed-boho-vibe, add a cool level with a hanging chair. This hanging rattan chair from Serena & Lily would work wonders in the living room or porch rafters come spring.

The Whimsy

If you’re short on space, a smaller, more accessible chair is one to consider. This Mollie chair from EQ3 is modern, yet casual.

The Modern Tufted

Looking for a sleek design? A tailored, button-tufted chair like this one will polish off your room in moments. On its own, or paired with another, it’s a flawless look.

The Traditional

If you’re looking for a scotch-on-the-rocks vibe in your living room, the traditional leather armchair is for you. Look no further than Restoration Hardware for one that suits your needs.

The Patterned

Opting for a patterned chair has several benefits. Placing one of these in the living room can make up for lack of colour, texture, and art in a bland space. Sort of like a 3-in-1 combo.

The Barely There

If you’ve got enough fabric going on, a barely-there-ghost-chair will do more talking than you think. Modern, minimalist, and effortlessly graceful.
