If you thought chairs are just an ordinary furniture item, you are wrong. These days interior designers have given chairs a significant place in their scheme of design and interiors.

We scout for the latest trends in the chairs to help you pick and choose ideas that’ll blend in beautifully with your lifestyle and aesthetic sense.

No more drab

Chairs with a panache are called ‘Accent Chairs’, which provide not just a seating platform, but are a great way to add a new silhouette, style and colour to a room. Well chosen, these reflect a particular taste and lifestyle.

Play with colours

Right now, there’s a wave of bold bright hues, so look for colours like turquoise, emerald pink, and even red. And you have arrived. Yes, such colours might be too loud for your taste, but you don’t have to splash them across your entire home. You could always tone down the bright element by coordinating well with other home accessories. Remember incorporating such shades will add energy to a room.

Designed for modern homes, Pepperfry has also introduced 'HomeHQ' range of furniture that flawlessly blends bold, contemporary designs with a flair. A great mix of modern, unconventional, yet sophisticated and quirky, there is something for every home in this range be it in seating, dining, etc. Designed to make a statement they bring along a touché of personality with their colour, texture, unusual shape and exotic material. The chairs and tables from this range are design enthusiast's delight.

Relax on pouffes

Going beyond chairs, put your feet up and relax on lovely handcrafted pouffes. A zany collection of handcrafted unique pouffes can solve all your seating problems to plonk down in your favourite corner. These petite pieces add charm to your living space and are one of the easiest ways to create a casual, comfortable and a totally bohemian vibe. Scatter these around the living room as an alternative to bulkier seating, or use some in the bedroom for impromptu lounging or toss a few in the backyard for a cozy space.

Chic & comfort

If you are looking for elegant chairs with oodles of comfort then scout for easy chairs and bucket dining chairs. These reflect a good sense of balance, proportion, and colour. Designer collections with silk upholstery blend on Burma teak and the aquamarine colour palette is making waves in the interiors space. Easy chairs with soft cushioning and bucket dining chairs in quirky shapes synchronise with the latest trend.

Eco friendly chairs
