Living Room Chairs – Which Style Suits You Best?

Look at the style already present in your living room. When you go chair shopping, you will either want to match this style or find a style that compliments it and you. If all of your living room furniture is filled with curves; overstuffed couches with rolled arms, decorator pillows, large foot stools, etc., you would not want to bring in a chair that was firm, flat and all angles. It would stand out as an oddball and would likely be discarded soon after arriving in its spot.

On the other hand, if your décor is all angles; furniture that is very angular, square table, framed abstract art of boxes and triangles, you would not want to bring home a chair that is overstuffed, covered with pillows and has foot wide, rolled, padded arms.

Fabric is another issue, you will need to make sure the style of the fabric of the new furniture will match, compliment or accent the existing furniture. If you have all leather, you would want to be very careful about adding chairs with fabric, they can exist together, but you will want to consider your choices carefully before buying. Your style is probably already set in your existing furniture, and unless you intend to replace all of your furniture, you’ll want to mix and match complimentary styles.

Club chairs come in a host of different styles and designs from straight angles to swooping curves. They are large and deep or small and shallow, armed and unarmed. Your imagination, your décor and your pocketbook are going to be the main determining factors of your decision.

First, take a look at your existing furnishings, are they angular and engineered or are they curvy and creative, are they bold and strong or more soft featured and feminine. The characteristics of your current furnishings will to some extent dictate the characteristics of your new club chair.

Measure the space you have available for the chair and get an idea of the colors and patterns that surround the spot. Decide if you also want a foot stool as that will impact your space allotment. Once you have an idea of what you want, it’s time to go shopping. Compare the club chairs you are viewing to the furnishings you already have, make sure the chair is comfortable and will be durable, also make sure the chair is within the price range you set for yourself. Don’t let an emotional purchase make you spend more than you are prepared to spend. Then all you have left to do is take it home and enjoy it.

A wing chair is a very specific style of chair; it may clash with some furnishings and fit in well with others. This is not to say that if you have antiques it will fit in and if you don’t, it won’t. Wing chairs can fit into a multitude of different décor.

There are many different sizes and styles of wing chair, from the traditional dark leather diamond backed library chair to the flowery patterned cloth covered chair with the foot stool in front.

These chairs can fit into modern décor with as much flare as traditional décor and can be a featured accent if that is what you desire. The best way to fit a wing backed chair into your current furnishings is to measure the spot you wish it to be and take pictures of the furnishings that surround it. When you find a chair that looks good with the furnishings in your picture, you will want to make sure it measures up size wise as well.

Comfort is also a consideration as some of these chairs are very cushy and comfortable whereas others can be rather firm. A wing backed chair can compliment and accent your décor as long as you consider all of your options and don’t settle. Look for the chair that completely fits your vision.
