Statement chairs are such fun!

People like to sit down even though they should be up and running. But the truth is, we love our favorite chairs. We can’t wait to cuddle up in them, preferably near a fireplace.

There are so many styles from which to choose but you’ll know it when you see it. How? You’ll either chuckle or immediately want to sit in it. It will turn any room into a showpiece and stand out especially when your basic colors are neutral. Look for a chair with personality.

Some people like lots of bold, they crave color as well as form. Nothing wrong with flair!  Think scale, frame and cushions. Make sure the cushions are comfortable and durable for lounging.

Fortunately chairs come in all styles and shapes from skinny to extra wide.

By measuring the scale of other furniture in the intended room, that should be the guideline as the chair should fit into the existing design elements.

Small-scale patterns and textured fabrics conceal dirt and pet hair on light upholstery. Retros exaggerate a chair’s basic contours.

Personalize the fabric by choosing something you like and have a chair upholstered, if none you see speak to you but would be the style you like.

Brass legs add glamour and are light enough to move around for those who have a periodic urge to keep changing the look of a room.

A statement chair can create an air of glamour, cushions can pop with color and bold fabrics can add flourishes to an otherwise neutral palette. You aren't looking for ho-hum in shopping for a statement chair.

In choosing this topic for this Blog, I was fortunate in that a client was looking for a statement chair and that was what I was intending to feature. So off I went to find one for her.

I discovered so many chairs with shapes and sizes and fabrics in so many intriguing design elements that it was difficult not to write about most of them!

However, I selected a few favorites to share with you. It was an eye-opening experience for me and I hope it inspires you.

Spring is around the corner, inspiring fresh, new looks.
