I’ve seen an explosion of directors chairs that aren’t the basic chair you’re used to seeing! These come in different materials such as leather and they have more stylish lines than ones you’ve seen before. Today I’m sharing some of my favorite director chairs and ideas for using them in your home. (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here})
A director chair can look super stylish at a desk:

especially one where you see the back of the chair as much or more than the front:

And a set of director chairs such as {these chairs that are a combination of leather & oak} creates a relaxed, casual vibe when used around a dining table:
You can find them made of outdoor friendly materials too such as {these director chairs} with a teak frame:
You can find director chairs in counter height too! I love {these teak director’s counter stools} that are perfect for raised seating poolside or beachside:
I also love {these campaign stools} that have a similar look and would be perfect for kitchen island seating:
Do you have a favorite?

This reminds me of the French chairs I passed on at the Goodwill nearby. I was about to go back and get them when my friend next door calls and says, hey come and see what I just bought at the Goodwill.” Total bummer!! Next time, you won’t hesitate. Nor will I.

Oh my gosh Jennifer – that’s so crazy that they landed in your neighbor’s house. And now they taunt you every time you’re visiting your friend, right?!

This just gives us something to laugh about! I never have to wonder who got those great chairs. Too funny.

Okay adding this to our hunt list! I love the black leather for a office!!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
Would love it if we found one!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
I feel your pain on the antique french sofa – with your CL luck, another one will come your way!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
Bummer – what did you miss out on? You seem to have had a pretty great CL track record as of late otherwise!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
I was a complete chair hoarder too before we moved into this house and lost all of our storage space. Our movers said he’d never seen anyone with more chairs but I have a feeling that you would rival me!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
I get it -obviously I’m a stewer too 🙂
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
You can bet that I won’t leave the next one behind!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
It’s true that often something better is around the corner!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
Thanks Vel – I’ll just keep on looking!

My favorite is the bamboo ones, don’t think I’ve ever seen those before! You know I don’t see directors chairs too often now that I think about it. We live and learn right? I know I’ve missed out on so many great finds. Think it’s because we have to draw the line somewhere, we can’t buy everything!! lol
Taylor Greenwalt says
Kris…I have done that so many times and it takes me a long time to stop kicking myself for not buying it!
