One of the most important decisions to make about the new workspace, other than the desk of course, is what type of chair do we need/want. Breaking it down to the simplest terms, there are two options: a rolling chair or a non-rolling chair.
How can a decision be this hard? Especially when it seems so simple.
Domaine ℅ Emily Henderson
As per usual, Emily Henderson did a rolling chair perfectly. It's cute, sculptural and modern all by itself. Then she went and had it reupholstered and now it looks even better. So smart. So simple.
My thoughts on a rolling chair in our workspace:
- We have wall to wall carpeted floors, will the wheels destroy the carpet?
- Rolling chairs can be found at all price points, but I would want to customize mine. Cost of chair + fabric + labor = expensive?
- Our workspace doubles as a guest room, a rolling chair doesn't really scream "peaceful nights rest".
So it turns out Emily Henderson can also do a non-rolling chair in an office, too. I love, love, love this blue velvet tufted wing back, paired with the natural wood, it's just yummy.
But, will a non-rolling chair work in our space:
- Will the immobility of the chair drive me crazy? Getting stuck on the carpet, etc.
- Will an upholstered chair take up too much visual space in an already
over stuffedcramped room?
Help a girl out, won't you? Let me know if you have a rolling chair in a carpeted space and if it works for you. Or let me know how much you love or hate your non-rolling desk chair. All opinions welcome. I did find a deal and a half on an upholstered chair that could work…
until next time,
