Regardless of your taste, a statement piece can add a simple touch of elegance, and more often than not, bring new life to the room.
This is according to Alon Sachs, from Mobelli Furniture + Living, who says statement chairs need not be bold or overly colourful.
He says although bold colours and patterns draw attention, the materials used and the design of the piece tell their own story. A subtle, elegant piece can make the same statement while adding character and personality.
Alon shares four tips to consider when buying a statement chair…
1. Revert to retro
If your home’s décor is modern and contemporary, add a retro statement piece to your space. Instantly, it will add a touch of style to the most simply designed areas.
Though it’s largely thought that statement chairs are all about style, comfort is as important and should never be overlooked when choosing furniture.
2. Who said three is a crowd
Consider placing two statement chairs opposite a sofa for that coordinated look.
And get those creative juices flowing by exploring with mixed materials to add a bit of extra flair to the area.
3. Contrast is in
To achieve this look, pair two completely different pieces together by combining soft and puffy sofas with an armchair with clean lines and an elegantly designed statement chair or two.
Mixed materials are on-trend this year and they allow you to play around with sleek frames and woven fabric.
Get creative and add those strokes of colour, patterns or textures to your space while still sticking to your individual style and preference - it’s 100% doable.
4. Scale is key
Consider your space when decorating and adding new pieces.
Getting the balance right is important, especially when matching up a large sofa with a small chair.
Make your space work for you by incorporating smaller, sleeker pieces, and remember to make space for a compact coffee or side table.
5. Add your own twist
Create an indoor area that reflects your personality. Think of a statement chair as a ‘touch of difference’, and difference need not be extravagant. Stick to what works and with pieces that reflect personal style.
Statement pieces are on-trend the world over. They enhance an indoor area by adding interest to the space and help to create a cohesive and coordinated look quite easily. There’s a bonus too – statement pieces are guaranteed to turn heads.
