Decorating With a Wing Chair

Wing chairs work well with many furniture styles. Although the basic design remains the same, the chair has evolved to suit home fashion trends. Fabrics and textures have also kept up with homeowners' needs. Wing chairs offer a cozy seating space for one person; however, a pair of chairs creates a welcome area for chatting between friends.

Instructions

    • 1

      Set the wing chair off to one side of a fireplace or window. Place a small rug beneath the chair to draw attention to the chair and the area.

    • 2

      Drape a cozy throw over the back of the chair. Choose a color from the chair fabric or an accent color from the room decor.

    • 3

      Select a small footstool to place in front of the chair. Coordinate the chair and footstool fabric if purchased separately. A solid fabric for one will go well with a printed fabric of the other piece.

    • 4

      Use a side table and floor lamp to create a reading area. Place a basket beside the chair to hold books or a hand craft, such as crocheting or knitting.

    • 5

      Opt for a wing chair as additional seating in a home office. Select leather or plaid fabric for a masculine office space. Choose a solid or floral print for a feminine touch.

      Place a small pillow in the chair and use for back support as well as an attractive accessory.
