When someone drops by unexpectedly, the first thing we usually say after the greeting and hug is "come in" and then "take a seat."
Sitting is more conducive to visiting than standing. At cocktail parties we stand and mingle, but at home we sit and relax while catching up and talking. We want our guests to be comfortable.
A small-scale chair that is big on style has a dark, aubergine finish with leopard-print hairhide and black leather upholstery with nail trim.
At the end of a long day, we want nothing more than to sit, generally with the beverage of choice and something to read. Where we sit is important -- our chair needs to be functional and comfortable as well as beautiful and stylish and complementary to other elements in the room.
For the man of the house, a generous tufted leather wing chair is just the thing for unwinding after a long day at the office. It has loads of nailhead trim and a four piece stretcher.
Great seating choices are unlimited in size, style, color and texture of the coverings. Coverings may include leathers, hairhides, chenilles, jacquards, velvets, silks, prints, or perhaps a combination of materials. Trims can include nail head accents or welts or decorative trim, or simple baseball stitching and no trim. The sky is the limit, as they say.
This handsome and cozy wing chair is upholstered in a combination of materials: a wool blend plaid fabric and a soft leather seat, with inlaid leather on sides and back.
If you are like me, when you are ready to take a seat, you look for one that feels like an old friend - it is where you want to be at the end of the day to relax, to read the paper and then perhaps match your wits with the contestants on Jeopardy. So take a seat ...a Maitland-Smith seat.
