Designer Advice:
This chair would look stunning in a dining room setting placed at a mahogany or oak table, but you could also utilize it in a country-style kitchen by using it as a table seat. The linen-colored upholstery is the most classic color combination, but opting for azure or sea would fit the farmhouse theme, too.

Designer Advice:
It would look best paired with woods such as mahogany or acacia to match the frame, but we also think the rich brown color of this chair is an opportunity to experiment with color. Forest green or mustard would be especially good choices for cushions, as they would bring out the richness of the wood without contrasting too much.

$999.99

Designer Advice:
The beige will look more refined and will be easier to pair with other furniture, especially due to the natural grain oak wood frame, but if you prefer the striped option, we recommend matching it with white furniture to uphold the French country look. A potential downside of this Louis chair is that you can’t curl up in it due to the smaller width and curved arms.

Acrylic Modern Louis XV Chair
House of Hampton®
For a modern take on the Louis XV chair, this chair is made of durable polycarbonate but still pays homage to 18th century France with its rounded back and molded arms. It is available in three finishes; transparent, white, or polished stainless steel.
Designer Advice:
This chair is decidedly unique and has a fashion-forward look that will look out of place in a traditionally decorated living room, so we recommend it for an ultra-modern space with a minimalist décor style – think white or black as core colors.

Designer Advice:
The in-between color of the upholstery means it would look good with gray or beige – leaning into cool gray tones will make this chair look more contemporary, so stick to warm gray if you want it to look antique. Pair it with other oak furniture for a cohesive look that is elegant and sophisticated.
