Home Style Decorating

Cozy comfortable chairs, collected wooden chairs, whatever your taste, interesting chairs can give your cottage a personally charming and eclectic flair. The following are some secrets to create chair charm in your home:

• French Flair. Upholstered chairs with French curved legs and backs create a sophisticated cottage look. They don’t have to be expensive. You can search flea markets, consignment shops and reupholsters.
• Ladderback Love. Rush seat ladder-back chairs add architectural interest. A different color for each rung can add interest.
• Quite a Pair. Pair two classic rolled-arm upholstered chairs next to each other with a small table in between to encourage reading and conversation.
• Quirky Consignment. Scour consignment stores for sturdy and interesting looking wooden chairs of different but complementary styles and size. Paint each one a different but complementary color and use around your dining table.
• Unique Upholstery. Purchase several upholstered chairs in interesting but different styles and unify them by reupholstering all in the same upholstery fabric. Choose pieces with interesting wood trim and legs for a diverse look.
• Wicker Wonder. Collect different styles of wicker chairs and chaises and paint them all the same color for a unified look. To tie them together, add floral seat cushion in one style upholstery fabric.
• Slipcover Splendor. Soft comfortable slipcovers say instant cottage. Try white canvas or a faded floral print.
• Quintessential Quilts. If your favorite upholstered chair needs recovering but you don’t have the funds, drape your favorite quilt over it. You can also consider using a favorite quilt as the actual upholstery fabric for a unique and charming look.
• Fabric Finesse. Search upholstery fabric outlets for the best quality of upholstery fabric you can find. If you have saved money on the cost of the chair, you can splurge on the fabric.
• White Wonder. Paint all your chairs’ woodwork white and upholster with colorful floral fabric for a fresh and airy look.
