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.
Vintage French Armchair
Designed with longer legs and a shorter back, this armchair has a vintage look that will complement your living space nicely. The curved edges of the main seat enhance the charm and the purposeful shabby chic finishing details along the frame add a lot of appeal. A benefit of this chair is that it comes with foot pads to preserve flooring and it can additionally support a lot of weight, meaning it will hold up well over time.
Red and Gold French Style Armchairs
This set of two intricately detailed armchairs would add a luxurious touch to any décor. Crafted in red and gold tones which give off an air of splendor, you can instantly evoke bygone glamorous eras with the addition of this set to your living space. The sumptuous jacquard chenille cushioning will ensure comfort, and as a finishing touch, there is an end-table included. Coming in the same rich walnut shade, it’s just the thing to complete the vibe.
Printed French Arm Chair
Graceful and unique, this chair is printed in a swirling paisley design which will give any space an aristocratic and regal atmosphere. It stands on four golden legs and possesses a wide cushion seat so you can sit any way you like. Furthermore, it has floor gliders to prevent scratches on wooden or similar textured floors.
A stunning standout feature of this armchair is the hand-crafted details which will conjure images of visiting a grand French palace. If you like opulence, this is the chair for you. However, a potential issue here is that it might overwhelm other furniture.
Plaid French Chair Style
If you prefer country charm over the more lavish aspects of French style, the unpretentious design of this chair is a subtle nod towards grandeur and won’t cause you worry about overpowering your living space. The charcoal plaid upholstery will add a farmhouse feel, whereas the chipped white wood frame and rounded back give off restful cozy vibes ideal for the upcoming colder months.
Tufted French Style Chair
Striking craftsmanship shines through in this solid oak armchair, which redefines elegance in its simplicity. The light wood frame pairs impeccably with the pearlescent velvet white cushion.
Great for relaxing in, the soft fabric is accompanied by padded armrests that can be used for reading or for leaning against when enjoying a warm drink. Additionally, an interesting feature is the rattan style detailing on the back, which will add understated sophistication to any space for a pop of texture.
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.
