Who doesn't love a good dose of vintage style in their home? Whether you go all out and create a decade-specific recreation house or just like the odd nuance here and there, we think everyone can make great use of some pretty vintage touches and nothing is easier to source or place than a good chair! Interior designers often look for eye-catching sofas and chairs to add a little extra life to a living room or even a bedroom, so why not come with us now and take a look at some of our favorite styles? We think you'll need a sit down after seeing how gorgeous these all are!

1. The classic leather Chesterfield.

Quilted, sophisticated and timeless. Not to mention amazing to look at and super comfortable.

2. Velvet revival.

Crushed gray velvet?Are you kidding us? SO COOL and on trend with gray being THE color right now!

3. Fancy feet!

Oooh, these Queen Anne revival chairs really do it for us! Talk about antiques with a twist as well, thanks to a modern seat pad!

4. Danish style.

Danish furniture will never go out of style and always makes a playful nod to times gone by. This sofa is everything we love  and that color! Wow!

5. Studded leather.

For chairs with extra oomph, you can't go wrong with a leather seat that has metal studs holding it to a wooden base!  Great for home offices!

6. Groovy baby!

Does this chair make you want to sit down baby? Hell yeah it does! The 60s are alive and well with this little kissing couch!

7. Lay back on leather.

Why do we love these amazing chairs? Because the leather is all broken in and buttery! What a gorgeous look!

8. Office style!

No wonder everybody wanted an office job in the 50s and 60s! Look at the chairs they got to sit on! Hello ergonomic tweed!

9. Cocktail bar vibes.

Steel and turquoise is blowing our minds! So atomic and funky!

10. Fur-bulous!

The tapered legs and bold furry upholstery here is decadent as hell!

11. Commune comfort.

Can't you just picture flopping on this amazing velvet corner sofa with the rest of the family? Retro heaven!

12. Egg chairs!

Always a classic vintage find, egg chairs, in bright colors, make a real statement!

13. Regency cool.

Can you picture any chairs looking more at home in a library than these ones? So posh and striking!

14. Wicker is a wonder.

Vintage wicker chairs make our hearts sing. Simple styles are great, but look up peacock chairs too!

15. Bold wood.

How charming is this steadfast little wooden chair? With a rust-colored upholstery scheme, it has a very stoic look.

16. Wingback perfection.

Fireside wingback chairs are something else! We even love it when people reupholster them in modern fabrics!

17. Don't forget the dining chairs!

If you think there are some sweet vintage sofas out there, start looking at dining chairs too! High-backed and usually pretty ornate, they can be phenomenal!

18. Recline on a chaise!

Hurrah for French vintage chairs that make us feel like glamorous movie stars! Imagine a chaise in the bedroom!

19. Vintage twist.

How about finding that ultimate vintage sofa and giving the woodwork a modern paint job? We LOVE this silver and blue number!

20. Beauty for the bathroom.

A delicate yet perfectly ornate metal chair would be the perfect way to add a little charm to a bathroom!

21. His and hers!

Finally, we had to show you this matching set! Imagine having a vintage chair for you and your partner! Luxury!
