Matching chair to desk

3 years ago

Hey, I'm having a really hard time matching a chair to this desk. I would like to take into consideration the fact that it's a SMALL desk and that I have a few colours going on here...

Any and all advice is extremely welcome!

Not very exciting, but I think I would go with this chair from Wayfair.

Then hang a great print over the desk which incorporates all the colors:

Of course, art is subjective, showing this just for inspiration.

I matched my two couches but then have several other pieces that are totally different. I never tried to match them because to me each piece has personality now. Plus in your case the salesman has told you up front the dye will be different enough that it will look like you've tried and failed. In your place, I would go for maybe a pattern with a little of your saddle brown in it...or maybe a totally different colored fun leather in say red?...blue? which would pull in those framed pictures on your wall. OR!!! maybe even "cow-hide"...something FUN!...after all it is a gameroom!!! My 2 dark brown couches and my 2 rockers with their light brown seats and "cow-hide" backs...

For 20 years, nothing has matched. And since I liked estate sale vintage lamps, all my lamps were different too. But about 5 years ago, I bought two matching lamps from JCPenney. It was kind of nice having the two lamps in the bedroom match, while being on unmatched antique bed tables and unmatched vintage furniture. It's like the lamps linked everything together. About 3 years ago, I found two more nice looking lamps at HomeGoods, these two with deep red shades, so I moved them into the bedroom, placing one on a rattan table also from HomeGoods, and one on a vintage sewing machine base, turned into a night table. My rattan bed was bought new off the net, my dressers bought at different times from estate sales, one is painted black and one is pecan. My mahogany desk came from a classified ad, and the leather desk chair came from Sam's Club. The two JCPenney lamps moved into the living room where they are the only two matching entities in another sea of furniture that works well together, but does not match. and that's the way I decorate....

What kind of chair goes with this desk?

I don't use a chair at our secretary since I don't use it as a desk, but if it's going in a guest room, the chair you match with it should be light enough for whoever may be staying in the room to pull over to it if you think people will want to use it as a desk. many traditional styles would look nice with it. but, unless you think you will have guests really needing and sitting at a desk, I would just get an upholstered, comfortable reading chair(instead of a side chair for them to move) and use the secretary more as a decorative piece rather than a desk. if it's for your bedroom and you really want to use it as a desk, I would consider getting a 'real' desk that has more space for your legs and drawers that aren't directly in front of your legs...

You can change almost anything in a rental, as long as you restore it to the ugly it was. So yes, you CAN paint walls, and yes, you can take down a hideous light, and hang something else until you leave, and you can hang it at the right height too. You can hang large and lightweight canvas art with command hooks. ....................You can do any darn thing you want that isn't PERMANENT.https://www.hayneedle.com/product/belham-living-paige-open-back-dining-chair-brown-herringbone-set-of-2.cfm

yes, a faux eames chair like the one JudyG posted will look good. keep in mind though, do you need to worry about back pain or anything? I tried using a chair exactly like that for my desk, and it hurt my back. I don't have a problem sitting at it at my dining room table playing board games for hours, but for some reason when it was my office chair, it was uncomfortable.

now I use this chair from Ikea. it's not fancy, and the seat is firm. but I like it because it's small, cute, height adjustable, and the firm seat "reminds" me that I need to get up and walk around every now and then. this is a 1-2 hour desk chair, not an all day one. but my lower back never hurts in this!

here's another angle of the Ikea chair -- in off white. the desk has a similar feel to yours to give you an idea.

I would not buy a desk chair I hadn't actually sat in for a significant amount of time in.

Find a real store that is open and bring your lap top and sit in the chair at a desk for at least 10 minutes. Or if this is for someone else, have them do it.

that's true if you need to sit at your desk for a few hours a day. choosing the right ergonomic chair can be really difficult. no kidding, I bought a brand new Aeron chair last year and after two weeks, gave it to my husband (and yes, I did try it out in the showroom). now I prefer that hard Ikea chair, which I've happily been using every day for several months. go figure.
