French Style Chair
If you’re looking for something which has a taller shape than your usual armchair, this is a solid choice. Inspired by rustic furniture found in the French countryside, it is finished in a way that intentionally gives it a pre-loved and generational feel. The dark wooden frame contrasts with the cream cushion top for a timeless look.
Nevertheless, this chair won’t be as comfortable as others on this list due to the high back, so if you wish to use it as a place to relax it might not be the best choice for you.

Grey French Style Armchair
This set of chairs is both classy and contemporary. The French-inspired detailing alongside the back of the chair will add a hint of complexity to your room. Moreover, the muted grey color of the frame and cushion is an on-trend shade that will easily match other furniture. Despite this, the lack of cushion along the back may be an issue for someone with back issues, meaning it may be better suited for a dining environment than a living room.
