Occasional Chairs. One of life's overlooked wonders.
A bold statement, but I believe every home should have one. I have been looking to acquire one for some time now. Short of visiting every charity shop in my area, posting an advert on gumtree, or sifting through the offerings of freecycle, occasional chairs, or just regular ol' armchairs if you like, can be quite an expensive purchase.
I don't want a particularly fancy one. All I require is wings, legs, and a square enough, comfy enough seat cushion to melt into. I know you can get ornate Rococo and Baroque style ones, which is all very nice and silky but not quite it. You can get funky retro ones, but they tend to come with a certain itchiness. And then of course you can get into the whole upholstering fiasco.
The whole idea is of simplicity. A plain, unassuming, inconspicuous armchair. Not an armchair that comes as a set with a three piece suite. A stand alone, winged, chair. That would make me very happy...and cosy.
Looking deceptively uncomfortable, more likely the case is that it is not...
