I’ve written about my love of chairs on many occasions and think every home needs a “happy” chair, one that if playful and distinct in its style, one with a bit of a split personality.
One of my favorite ways to achieve a “happy chair” look is with pattern mixing. I love the look for chairs that have one pattern on the front and a different pattern on the sides or back. The more pattern mixing the better!
Here are few inspiring looks…
