Decorating With Vintage Theater Seats

Theater Room

• Vintage theater seats can set the tone for a vintage-themed home theater or media room. Use upholstered theater seats to provide a comfortable place to sit while watching movies. Soft leather, vintage vinyl or dark velvet are some options. Add to the vintage theme by including a vintage popcorn maker and hanging vintage theater posters on the walls. Hang velvet curtains or display a velvet rope on chrome stands to create a aisle if you want the full theater effect.

Living Room

• Set up your vintage theater seats in the living room to add flair and provide extra seating for guests that doesn't take up too much room. Tie the seats in with your other decor by placing matching pillows on the theater seats and the sofa or using the same wood finish on your shelves and tables as the seats. The seats can fold up to take up less space when you don't need them, and easily be moved when you need to rearrange your seating.

Entryway or Hallway

• Place your vintage theater seats in a narrow hallway or entryway to create style and provide a place to sit when necessary without taking up unnecessary space. Add a floor vase or small shelf next to the bench to hold baskets, umbrellas or small items that you typically need on your way out of the house. Drape a throw over the backs of the chairs for a comfortable feel and stylish look.

Kitchen

• Pair your vintage theater seats with an old wood table in the same finish in your kitchen nook. The vintage look and feel of the seats will complement an eclectic or country style. Tie the theater aspect of the seats into your kitchen decor with framed movie posters or figurines. Alternatively, use patterns or images on cushions for the seats that complement the kitchen curtains, dishtowels or other textiles.
