Designer Advice:

The traditional charm of these chairs makes them a good option for a classic décor scheme. If your living room is decorated in neutrals, we recommend opting for one of the brighter colors, as the bold pattern will infuse color into a space. Make sure to accent with accessories in similar colors to bring the theme together.

Shell Unusual Chair

Shell Unusual Chair

Mistana™ Teen

Upholstered in velvet for a luxe feel, this armchair has a solid and manufactured wood frame. The recessed arms and shell-shaped back lend it a wholly glam vibe, whereas the tapered wooden legs are suited for modern décor schemes.

$179.99 $399

Designer Advice:

For a 1920s look, we recommend choosing either the green or teal color option. Both of these options are jewel tones that bring richness to a room. As the legs are a light wood shade, a neutral carpet shade would look best to prevent a mismatched wood look. We recommend leaving it bare to accentuate the shell back.

Designer Advice:

The angular look of this chair is perfect for a modern living room. We recommend the red or orange finish options for an ultra-modern look. Pair with bright white furniture and a silver lamp for a sophisticated and stylish vibe. However, bear in mind that this chair may not be the most comfortable choice for long lounging sessions due to its armless design.

Designer Advice:

For the most authentic coastal look, we recommend opting for the white frame option. To add texture to a room, any striped options would look good and fit the theme well. Finish the look with a fringed rug beneath your chair, a textured cushion, or a matching throw in a neutral color.

Buying Guide

If you're looking for furniture which is slightly different, it doesn't get much more exciting than unusual armchairs. Comfortable, stylish and an ideal way to add a unique look to your home, there are various designs available for you to explore. Available in sizes to suit almost every room and every person, let's take a look at what you could buy for your house.

Bean-shaped armchair

This style of armchair somewhat resembles the famous Bean in the city of Chicago. If you want something like this for your home, it could be a great investment. While its frame is metal and hard, you can easily make the chair more comfortable by adding a throw, blankets, and cushions. The shiny surface of the armchair means it is ideal for modern homes. Large enough to fit an adult but cozy enough for a child too, this versatile piece of furniture is suitable for almost any room in the house. Its rounded base is able to settle firmly on the ground, while the indented seat provides ultimate comfort for your body.

Patchwork armchair

You could make your own patchwork armchair using your favorite materials, old clothing, and fabric items which have sentimental value to you. Alternatively, you can look at what is available on the market, since there are plenty of possibilities. Often seen with bright and bold colors, including blues, greens, reds and yellows, this style of armchair is purposely intended to stand out and give your room a different feel. Traditionally, there are copper or brass button along the back of the chair, which makes this piece of furniture ideal for the older and more traditional family homes.

Light up armchair

Created using long beams which are able to light up when the chair is connected to a power source and switched on, this innovative armchair is a great way to avoid turning the lights on in the evening as you watch the TV or have a cozy drink with your partner. The beams are different colors, and in addition to being powered by electricity, there are also styles which are able to glow in the dark. A solid wooden frame around the edges of the chair ensures that everything is kept together and does not cause any worry as to the safety of the beams. The addition of cushions and blankets will make this chair more comfortable, although it's important to check before you buy what the safety recommendations are.

Natural ash board armchair

Positioned upon a criss-cross frame which keeps this piece of furniture as sturdy as possible, it comes with a highly contemporary look that will certainly raise questions in any home. You're almost guaranteed to be the first among your friends with this design. The curved and natural wooden beams or ash boards come together to make a comfortable and rounded armchair, created with your comfort in mind. The size is approximately 4-5 feet in length, making it ideal to use as a love seat as well as a singular armchair for one.
