I Searched For A Comfortable, Stylish AND Affordable Club/Reading Chairs – This Is What I Found

The “I” in the title of this post is from Emily as she was the one who pitched and did the initial research for this post. It all started with that little cutie green chair above from her best friend Robyn’s recently revealed living room. As most home projects go, the money-spending faucet was raging and all of them (Emily and her best friends) wanted to turn it way down. So when it was time to find a cozy chair for the reading corner, the term “affordable” when shopping was a priority. Now, the chair they chose was more in the $700 range which while not as expensive as it could have easily been, it also is cheap. However, in Em’s (and my) search we found nine high-rated, very cute, cozy reading chairs that are all under $400. What each of us considers “affordable” is based on a lot of different factors but given the current market, we felt good about these and thought the pricing was fair (and for those slammin deals, there’s always vintage shopping but that can come with all sorts of cost variables is reupholstering is needed). Hope you’ve got your book and a hot drink handy because it’s time to get cozy…

Soft Padded Armchair – $340

This was an Emily find I loved as soon as I saw it. The shape is the perfect balance of curved and sleek and how cute are those rounded feet?! Those really make this chair look more expensive than it is. If the white fabric makes you nervous, this chair also comes in three darker colors. It’s just so versatile style-wise so 10/10 from us. 

Wide Oversized Armchair Accent Chair – $310

Another Em find and what a great one! For it to be oversized (love a roomy chair) at the price is awesome. The MCM-inspired design will add a lot of style to your room and if green isn’t your preference there are eight other colors to choose from.  

Chanequa Oversized Upholstered Accent Chair – $340

This one I found on Wayfair and fell for the size and that wood base. So often the more “affordable” chairs have wood bases that don’t look…great. But from the looks of this photo and the customer one on the site, I’m impressed. This is another one that could be a style shapeshifter so it’s going to work in most homes. It also comes in 3 other more classically neutral colors. 

Extra Deep Accent Chair – $300

This cutie was an Emily pick and another one with a pretty wood base! I would call this look “soft modern”. It comes in four other colors and I also really like the camel boucle. 

Corduroy Deep Seat Single Sofa Accent Chair – $300

Oh, you know you could just sink into this one. It really reminds me of the Article sectional Emily put in the mountain house so it’s probably way she wanted to include it in this post. It’s big and comes in four other colors (the dark green is also so pretty). Reading a book, watching a movie, or scrolling on your phone would likely be a big joy in this one. 

Swivel Accent Chair Modern Barrel Armchair – $310

If you love an Amber Interiors or Studio McGee look, this is your chair. She’s cute, she swivels, she’s got a skirt and the reviews say she’s comfortable! What’s not to love? Well aside from the fact that it comes in two other colors. 

Namiyah Upholstered Armchair – $340

When I found this one I knew I had to include it. It’s a chair and a half (yay, big!) and the reviews confirm it’s as comfortable as it looks (and to me, it looks super comfy). There are also five other colors to choose from! This is definitely a better style for a more modern home but of course, we are fans of breaking the style rules if you want to. And actually, in the really light colors, it would be great with an organic casual style. P.S. You can also buy a version with a matching ottoman Read More
