Tufted Back Chairs

Tufted-Back Chairs for Mid-Century Modern Appeal

Make a statement with a tufted-back chair in the living room. A bold upholstery color, such as yellow, teal or orange, highlights patterns found in existing decor elements—area rugs, vases and wall art included. If you prefer a more understated look instead, a neutral shade creates an impression on an upright or relaxed silhouette. Alternatively, find an accent chair with buttons that emphasize its mid-century modern appeal. One with a coordinating ottoman gives you a spot to kick back to enjoy a favorite show or book. To convert the space into a reading nook, just situate an end table and reading lamp nearby. Looking for a more versatile approach? A chair on a swivel base allows anyone seated to turn toward the conversation, while a rocker permits soothing movement for winding babies or toddlers down before bedtime. In the office, two tufted-back chairs with a coffee table at their center create a casual meeting area. For a more formal atmosphere, try dark leather hues.
