Buying Guide

No, traditional wing chairs are actually a versatile option that can work beyond traditional-styled interiors!

In fact, they work particularly well with modern décor, especially when you opt for a design in a warmer palette or brown leather. Don’t forget that you can also use traditional wing chairs to add a cozier or vintage vibe to other interior styles, from contemporary to bohemian and more.

However, to ensure a consistent result, try and choose a traditional wing chair in a color that complements your room’s palette or that includes a feature that’s also known for your type of décor: for example, decorative legs in a shabby chic room or a monochrome finish in a minimalist setting.

Traditional wing chairs have gorgeous silhouettes that are already a statement in themselves. Because of this, we recommend sticking to a smaller pattern, or one that complements patterns already in your home. The exception would be if you’re hoping your traditional wing chair will be a very bold statement in your home—which would work best if the rest of your decor is already quite minimal and neutral. In any case, we’d steer clear of any large or complicated patterns, as they might be very difficult to match cleanly across the many seams of a wing chair.
