Living Room Update with New Chairs
I have been wanting to replace the wingback chairs in our living room with something more modern for a long while. I finally bit the bullet and bought new chairs for this space and I’m thrilled with how they look.
New Chairs for our Living Room
I replaced two wingback chairs in our living room with two Ivo 30″ Wingback Chairs in Beige Linen from Wayfair.
I love how these chairs look in our living room!
Our Old Wingback Chairs
Our old chairs were wingback chairs that my mom snagged for me at her church’s auction for $4 each. I had them recovered and they have served me well for many years.
These chairs are in great condition but I was tired of both their style and fabric.
What a Difference New Chairs Make
I love the lower profile of my new chairs. The old wingback chairs somewhat blocked the view of the mantel and these do not.
Their linen fabric also makes the room seem lighter and brighter.
I also like the nailhead trim along the sides and arms.
Like the new chair that recently purchased for our family room, the seats on these chairs are somewhat hard.
I find the chair comfortable enough to sit on for a short time, but not one that I’d choose to relax in night after night.
Sherman is the main family member who uses this room and he has claimed the sofa, so these chairs are mostly just for looks.
Are you wondering what I did with the wingback chairs? They are currently in a room upstairs until I decide their fate.
This post gave you a sneak peek of my spring mantel. I’ll share more on that next week!
They look great, Paula! You know I always love to see your fireplace so I like that they are a little lower than the old chairs. Nice choice – pinned!

Paula, I love the new style and the brightness these chairs give your room. Your chairs are so much more updated and stylish. These chairs allow more viewing of your mantel and room, great job picking them….enjoy! 💛
Thank you so much, Karen! I love the new look.
Paula
Love the new chairs Paula. They really do make a difference in the look of the room. Who would think that just replacing 2 chairs could change the look of a room? 🙂 I really like the style of the chairs. Can’t wait to see more of your Spring mantel.
Paula,
Loving the new chairs. They are lighter and brighter. I noticed right away they let the details on the fireplace wall show better. Made your curtains a show piece too.
Love the peek at your spring mantle.

Thank you so much, Linda!

The new lighter chairs look terrific. I was eyeing some similar chairs but was hesitant to order something I haven’t actually seen or sat in so I definitely appreciate your photos and comments about the comfort factor. I’m not looking for something to lounge in all the time…just sit for short periods of time occasionally so I found your post to be quite helpful. Thanks!
Hi, Sherry! If you just need chairs for sitting in for a short period of time, these will work just fine for you.
Paula
Oh wow! What a huge difference, I LOVE the new look! I honestly can’t believe how the chairs transformed the room and seems like everything came together perfectly. I loved the other chairs too but your new ones are truly perfect for your living room!
They look perfect in your room! And they definitely fit better and add some brightness! Good choice! Pinned!
Thank you so much, Julie! I’m so glad that I finally invested in new chairs.
Paula
these are gorgeous Paula, they match your lighter wall color and rug perfectly! yes, on that wonderful nail head trim!
Thank you so much, Debra! I am thrilled with them and am so glad that I finally bit the bullet!
Paula
These new chairs are beautiful! They’re perfect for your space. Pinned!
Thank you, Lynne! I love the updated look.
Paula
The new chairs are the perfect update for this room! Love the look!
Thank you, Joyce! I’m really glad that I invested in them.

Oh, I do love the profile of these chairs! Are they comfortable? I am always afraid to order furniture or beds on line because I can’t try them out first!!
The chairs are pretty but hard. I bought them for their looks, so being hard doesn’t matter to me. They are comfortable for sitting and chatting but I wouldn’t buy them if you want a chair that you plan to relax in for multiple hours a day.
