50 of the Best Designed Chairs

One of the easiest ways to improve upon an existing décor scheme is to throw in an armchair that will improve upon everything else. All of a sudden a futon and basic flat-pack coffee table look a little more luxe when styled beside a midcentury modern seat. Make the most out of the stuff you already own with these seats that will elevate your bum and a room’s style. See our picks in the gallery.
