If you are anything like me, you are always on the lookout for pretty and functional additional chairs. I’m in only a family of three, but there is always a need for a location for visitors to sit in the living room, or someplace for a customer, a partner or my son to sit while I perform at the office. Below are a few selections that would be great for extra seats and might also look fine against a wall or pushed under a console when not in use. — Chedva from Rooms and Words
Home Infatuation
Seasonal Living Peanut Ceramic Garden Stool and Table – $495
The great thing about stools with a exceptional form and color is that when they’re not being used, they do not stand in the way. Instead, they seem like modern sculptures.
Wisteria
Kilim Bench, Anatole – $599
I really like the powerful printing here! This is a great alternative if your living or dining room has a stronger color scheme and you want a bit that would feel like an essential part of it. (No one has to know it’s been tucked beneath the table until additional seating was needed!) It would also work great in a mudroom or in the foot of the bed.
ABC Carpet & Home
Smukke Stackable Chair, Turquoise – $395
Move this turquoise, modern and tufted chair in the home office to the dining area and vice versa. Or scatter a few in different colors throughout the house.
Neiman Marcus
‘Chaitu’ Side Table – $499
The differentiation between different kinds of furniture is getting more and more confused — and that’s not a terrible thing. Use this gorgeous equestrian piece (do not you love the leather accents?) As a side table, stool, seat or however else you desire.
Jayson Home
Marit Ottoman – $595
The traditional lines and shapely thighs make this ottoman so ideal. It may be utilized as a coffee table substitute, as additional seating or just as a tool to hang out on.
Jayson Home
Classic Brass Bar Stool – $595
Isn’t this pub stool amazing? Push it to your kitchen island when a guest comes, and display it as art when not required for seating.
Wisteria
French Empire Bench – $599
This seat has a delicate beauty. Additionally, it is neutral and useful enough to blend in any area around the house when it’s not required as emergency additional seating.
Ballard Designs
Metallic Garden Seat – $169
Yes, it’s not groundbreaking, but Chinese garden stools just look so great under a match! Plus, naturally, they’re so useful. I like this metal variant since it’s a nice upgrade on the normal ceramic style.
Ballard Designs
Slipcovered Swivel Stool – $299
How princess-like is this tiny vanity stool? Using its swiveling superpowers, it doesn’t need to be restricted to the dressing area. It would look fantastic in a shabby chic living area.
West Elm
Kite Kilim Floor Pouf – $249
I really like poufs! This one’s shape and chevron print make it prominent and contemporary.
West Elm
Jardine Ladderback Chair – $199
With outdoor furniture appearing more and more like it belongs indoors, dining chairs such as these are a fantastic alternative if you host a great deal of dinner parties. You can keep them outside in piles, and when you bring the chairs for guests, then they will not seem as though they belong on the patio.
Crate&Barrel
Darlene Ottoman – $1,380.40
This is another gorgeous ottoman that you can use as a coffee table or extra seating.
Urban Outfitters
Reclaimed Wood Cabana Side Table – $109
Oh, the beauty of reclaimed wood! I will actually see this stool moonlighting as a planter stand. It would also seem (and operate) great in a kitchen.
Fawn&forest
Ferm Living Wool Pouf – $660
It took me a minute to understand this is a pouf. I really like the lines, the colours, the thought. It’s ideal as a sculpture or seating situation, and it looks extra comfortable.
Tan Moroccan Leather Pouf – $450
It doesn’t get any greater than the usual Moroccan leather pouf. They always look great, no matter where they are, as long as you do not under-stuff them.
Furbish
Chevron Round Ottoman – $500
That is such a pretty ottoman, and the fantastic thing is that more than one individual can sit on it. It’s ideal for celebrations.
Burke Decor
Bel Aire Chair – $870
This chair has so much character. It doesn’t matter where it’s located (in the head of a dining table or resting against the wall) it’s guaranteed to control the room.
Burke Decor
Marimekko Unikko Original Fatboy, Kaivo Red – $329
What’s more comfortable than the usual giant Fatboy cushion? This one having a Marimekko fabric will add tons of color and pattern to any area, and it’s ideal for huddling together to see a movie as well as doing homework.
Jan Showers
Marnie Host & Hostess Dining Chair
This classic will work great as a host or hostess chair in a dinner party or even as an occasional chair round the house.
Ballard Designs
Hampton Upholstered Bench – $359
Who says banquette chairs are only for breakfast nooks? One with shapely lines and nailhead trim can be a smart and unexpected pick for additional seating in the living room, in the bedroom or even at a hallway or corridor by a console.
CB2
Morgon Chair – $399
Chair-plus-ottoman sets are smart purchases since they look fantastic together and do not control a great deal of visual space. Plus, the ottoman can double as additional seating without altering your decoration strategy.
