Our advice Buying Guide
How to match a vintage upholstered chair with your home decor?
Vintage upholstered chairs are available in a multitude of colors, making them super easy to match with most, if not all, spaces. All you have to do is pick an accent color found in your furniture, decor, and accessories. For instance, if pops of blue can be found throughout the room, your best bet will be an upholstery that’s either fully blue or has blue in the upholstery’s pattern. Moreover, if your home decor is fairly neutral, you can stick with a vintage upholstered chair in a neutral shade for a cohesive look or go bold with a vibrant color such as green or yellow to create a striking focal point.
Can vintage upholstered chairs be used as an office chair?
Vintage upholstered chairs don’t usually have wheels like most office chairs, but you can still use them in an office if you don’t mind the lack of mobility. They are often very comfortable, and if their back is high enough, they can provide adequate support while you work. Depending on your office flooring, consider investing in an office chair mat or soft covers for the feet to protect your floor.
Vintage upholstered chairs also add visual flair and elegance to your office. Even if you’re trying to decorate a home office that few other people see, having a splash of color or patterned texture can add to an enjoyable workstation atmosphere.
Where to find vintage upholstered chairs?
Vintage upholstered chairs are making a comeback, so many retailers are actually offering vintage-inspired wingbacks and other plush armchair options.
However, if you’re looking for a truly vintage chair, it may be the best idea to look online for resale auctions or thrift shops. Alternatively, you can go to garage sales or thrift shops in your area to see what may be local to you.
