Get the Modern Classic Look for Less!
My favorite home decorating style is a mix of contemporary modern and classic traditional. I think the two styles pair so well together and create a fresh, and casual atmosphere in a home. Whenever I’m browsing through Pinterest, “Modern Classic” is a style that I see all throughout designer homes. I love the look, but I don’t love the price!
I’m a big believer that you can have a stylish home on a regular budget. There’s no reason that you need to spend $90 on a pillow cover (for example) in order to have a beautiful home. That’s just crazy! So, I decided it was time to start figuring out how I could get that modern classic look for less.
Today I’m sharing my favorite charming accent chairs.
Our living room is in need of some accent chairs. We have a great couch, but it’s really the only seating furniture that we have. It would be nice to have a few chairs in the space for extra space when we have guests and to add more interest.
Accent chairs should complement the couch but not exactly match. Lately, there are tons of mid-century style chairs I’ve been seeing in designer spaces. I love the look of the angled wooden arms and the upholstered cushions.
Accent chairs are a great way to mix modern and classic styles to create a cohesive living space. Here are some of my favorites!

This is another traditional structure chair with a modern geometric patterned back. I like the bold contrast of the black and white in this one. I think this would fit in nicely in a slightly more formal space.

I love that this chair is a nice mix of modern and traditional. The gray color is rich and would look amazing with some light and fresh throw pillows mixed in. I also love that it’s a mix of a curved back and clean lines in the front.

Christine, what a great chair round up! Had to let you know how much I love all of these. Did you select accent chairs yet? Would love to know which one you chose.
Hey Quanda! Thanks so much for your kind words. I think we’re going to get two of the #5 chair. The one in the middle of the picture. I haven’t ordered them yet, but I am going to soon!
