Hello! My living room is continuing to shape up- this week I choose from my favorite 7 pink chairs and narrowed it down to one. Want to see what I choose?! Drum roll please…
I got the Tyley chair from World Market! It was marked down to $149.99 for Labor Day so I drove over and picked it up!
how to pick the right accent chair
Here is what I took into consideration when picking out the chair:
- color- I wanted to pull in pink because it is the accent color in the room. Having a chair with pink will help it stand out and be a feature piece.
- pattern- I considered choosing a chair with a pattern, but worried that it would become dated quickly. I looked at geometric patterns (stripes, buffalo checks) as they will stay current the longest, but figured that having a pink chair would help it stand out enough. The Tyley chair does have a subtle texture so that will help give it interest.
- scale- the chair we used to have in the room is HUGE and really dominated the space. We didn’t need a chair that big (it was always the dumping chair- where bags and junk ended up) and so I purposely wanted a smaller chair that you could easily walk around. The back of the chair is really low which is nice since it sits in the middle of the room- so it doesn’t obscure the view. It is also the perfect scale for my husband and I and is super comfortable!
- style- my taste is definitely more traditional, but I am starting to love more mid century pieces. I wanted something with fun lines that wasn’t too serious.
how the chair looks in my living room
Want to see the chair in the room?
Doesn’t it look so cute?! Plus the scale is perfect! I can’t wait to see it next to the new sofa when it arrives (hopefully next week!).
I felt like these pictures didn’t do it justice, so I staged this little cutie so I could really show her off!
Is Lucy just the cutest little dog or what?! That is her place to sleep so she doubled as my model for these pictures :).
I’m thrilled with how The Tyley chair looks in my room! What do you think? Would you put a pink chair in your living room? I can’t wait to share with you the rest of the makeover! The sofa will be next and then possibly a bookcase and then the final reveal!

It seems like mid century is everywhere. My house is traditional but more of a relaxed traditional if that makes sense!

Yes- that totally makes sense! My grandma’s house is all original mid century and I adore it. Maybe that’s where my love for this chair comes from 😉
