I wrote a coupe weeks ago of my love for Amber Interiors' work. She made my heart skip a beat once again with her latest before/after reveal. For the first time, I noticed the clean, sharp-edged, relaxed feel of the chairs she uses in the spaces she decorates.
Mid-century chairs to be exact.
I love mid-century chairs in pairs, but we only need one. Our living room is small and my current goal is to find furniture that actually fits. We sold the double sized, double stuffed, extra used chair from Paul's bachelor life (pictured below) and next up we will be selling our oversized (but comfy) couch.
[SOLD! blocked way too much light and just didn't fit our style.]
I plan to put the new chair right next to the window (the chair currently sitting there now actually lives next to the fireplace). I want a low profile chair that continues to let the light in the living room. And see what I mean about the couch being too big? It swallows the room.
Some more pictures of the inspiration and look I am going for - I love the sheepskin thrown over it as well.
I began my search on my favorite discount websites: wayfair, overstock, ebay, and even craigslist. The prices were still a little shocking; mostly over $300 for what most people would consider a beat up old chair. I haven't found "the one" yet I don't think, but I've included a bunch of items from my research below in case you are in the market as well!
Below are my finds. I've included links as well. Ignore the upholstery and finishings, you can always change those! This is about finding good bones for the look.
I love the way these chairs let in the light and the exposed wood is a great color. Link
I love this pair - the structure is exactly what I'm looking for and I almost purchased, but the shipping was too much.
Beautiful via Ebay - Link
A little more beat up...but has potential. And a more reasonable price than most. Link
This chair from wayfair needs little work if any. Link
I also found some great options from overstock, pictures and links below:
