So many chairs...
So many chairs but hard to know what one to purchase. I love a good club chair but it has to have a few qualities before I would even consider it. I have seen many beautiful chairs that look extremely relaxing and perfect, but after sitting in them for a minute you quickly realize that looks don’t always equal comfort. Here are some great options for club chairs that can either be placed in the bedroom corner for reading or in the family room for entertaining. A couple of them I currently own, the other ones are chairs I have actually sat in and tested to make sure of their quality and comfort. Prices range from high ($$$) to low ($), so that you can find the perfect option for you!
SWIVEL-GLIDER CHAIR: ($$)
This chair arrived shortly after my son Rory was born. It was originally purchased as a rocker for the nursery, but quickly won a place in our bedroom because of its beauty and comfort. Plus, I would normally rock Rory to sleep in our bedroom and then move him into the nursery. The BEST part about this chair is that we will keep it for many years even after we no longer need a rocker because of its modern beach style vibe. No need to cast it off as a nursery rocker, it has many more purposes than that! Lee industries makes an amazing slip-covered chair, very cozy, with custom fabric and colors. I ordered mine from Crate and Barrel a few years ago, but they don’t carry the chair at this time. I know you can special order this chair from various design show rooms locally (in your area). You just need to go to www.leeindustries.com and find a local dealer. We even purchased a matching ottoman for the chair so that it can be used more as a lounger, today.
SWIVEL CHAIR: ($)
The Feather Filled Swivel Brynn Armchair is a fabulous low cost option that looks gorgeous and is very comfortable. Because is it feather you will need to put in some work to make it always look beautiful, like the day you purchased it, but what furniture doesn’t take a little extra work to maintain its beauty? I remember talking to a furniture specialist at Crate and Barrel before we purchased our couch and I told her the reviews said the couch looked horrible after sitting in it. She told me that when you purchase furniture, it takes work to fluff it up, and maintain it. I took those words to heart and after we sit in our couch or chairs, I always fluff up the cushions and pillows to maintain the integrity of the couch and chairs. This chair is no different. It is a swivel so it can be turned from side to side for ease of conversation and television watching. The new gray color is stunning. I am thinking about getting one and soon, the price is perfect. This chair can be purchased at World Market.
CLUB CHAIR: ($$$)
This chair has been sitting in my home for over 10 years and it looks the same way as the day I purchased it. Quality is so important when you are looking for furniture that will withstand kids, dogs and visitors. We purchased a slip cover for this chair 3 years ago when we moved into our home. The best part is that it completely changed the look of the chair, but the quality and comfort is still here. Again, this is a chair that can be purchased by a design center and ordered from www.leeindustries.com , it can either be purchased upholstered, upholstered with an optional slip-cover or just slip-covered over muslin fabric.
LEATHER CHAIR: ($$)
Irving Roll Arm leather chair, is an overall fabulous leather chair. It is comfortable, affordable and comes in a variety of leather colors. You can order this chair with or without nail heads for two completely different looks. I do not own this chair, but I have a few friends that do. Every time I see it and cozy up in the chair, I ask them about it. This is a chatting chair, a television watching chair and most of all it is a chair with looks & character that will withstand the test of time. It is a classic chair that can combine with upholstered clean looks or slip-covered beach looks. This chair can be purchased at Pottery Barn.
