Island Chair Chic: A Home Upgrade
A couple of years ago, we gave our home a fresh makeover right before moving in – stay tuned for more on that in a future post. With our house getting a chic new look, it became clear that our furniture needed an upgrade. Step by step, we’re transforming our space. Our latest project? Finding the perfect island chairs. Our current barstools, which my husband had in his place before we joined forces, have done their duty. But it’s time for a change to bring our seating up to par with the new vibe of the house.
Imagine a blend of mid-century modern with a dash of boho – that’s my style. So far, everything’s been pretty neutral, allowing these chairs to either blend seamlessly or pop with a burst of color. Decisions, decisions!
Our chair requirements are simple and focused:
– Must-have a backrest
– No arms
– Bar height
– Sturdy and reliable
– Timeless in design
– Fits within our budget
After diving into hours of research, I’ve narrowed down my choices to four top contenders. Let’s take a closer look!
This chair stole my heart with its smooth curved back, light wood, and touch of rattan – a perfect example of minimalist charm. Any concerns? Well, our home currently doesn’t feature much of that light wood, but we’re planning to update the furniture in the same room soon. And about the fabric seat cushion? A quick application of Scotchgard should do the trick.
This chair boasts a sleek and neutral wood with subtle black accents, creating an effortless allure. Its simplicity is its strength, suitable for a variety of styles. The square back and seat promise comfort in an understated package. To tie everything together, I’m thinking of incorporating the wood tone into other accent pieces, like a bench or decorative containers.
Similar to Option 1, this contender features a square back for a twist. A classic choice that exudes timeless elegance – a safe bet. The smooth wood, rattan accent, and light wood color continue to catch my eye. Different back design, same allure.
This sleek leather option effortlessly combines timelessness and modernity. We’re drawn to the honey-colored leather, although the other shades are tempting too. It blends in seamlessly, maybe almost too well considering our existing color palette.
In the end, after carefully measuring and thoughtful contemplation, we’ve settled on the Simple & Sleek option. This versatile gem perfectly captures the timeless touch of modernity that I’m excited to infuse throughout our home. The fact that it’s from Target and offers an easy return option significantly influenced our decision. No worries about return fees – a big plus for furniture shopping. And guess what? They’re comfortable, sturdy, and a breeze to assemble.
We’re beyond thrilled to have this checked off our list!
