We’re back with another installment in the home office makeover series. This time, I’ve got a round up of chairs. Jessica’s redesign has left her with a perfect nook for a reading chair, but she wants it to be just so–a chair with a high back and cozy feel. She asked me for some recommendations and here are some of my favorites.
The Alice
At 52″ tall, this Overstock.com chair is definitely taller-than-average, and the sleek wings keep it cozy. It would look absolutely stunning against Jessica’s painted purple brick wall, and would make a perfect spot for client calls or sketching design ideas.
Versailles Domed Burlap-Backed Chair
I’m a sucker for the high drama of this porter’s chair from Restoration Hardware. At a whopping 62″ tall, I think it may even be taller than Jessica herself, and it would create a cozy reading retreat in her office.
Sienna Chair
The shortest of the bunch, this sleek ivory leather chair from Jayson Home and Garden is still 42″ tall (which is taller than typical occasional chairs). The nailhead trim gives it a classic look, but the chair still feels really modern because of the clean lines.
Minimalist Wing Chair
The Minimalist Wing Chair by Pearson is upholstered in a menswear-inspired windowpane plaid which gives it a sophisticated, cozy feel. It’s 45″ tall, so it’s a bit taller than the Sienna, and it has classic, yet sleek lines.
It’s currently on sale via One King’s Lane for just $1099 (from its regular retail price of $2500). If you’ve never heard of OKL, it’s a members-only home goods site.

So, which chair would you choose? And how do you feel about extra-tall chairs in the office?

I love that Restoration Hardware chair! It’s way out of my budget, though. You wouldn’t happen to know of any cheaper versions, would you?
I love the last chair–it’s gorgeous, and a great price! I hadn’t realized that taller chairs were unusual, but now that you mention it, they are often kind of short for a room with a higher ceiling.
Leslie, you might try searching “Porter’s Chair” as well–the Restoration Hardware chair goes by a lot of differnet names, but I think that’s the most common. I agree, it’s lovely, though I’m not sure you’ll be able to find one for much less–they tend to be pricey (and worth it, I think).
