Envy-Worthy Throne Chairs to Make You Feel Like Royalty

While the very first throne chair is believed to have been stolen as a war trophy, we doubt anyone will feel envious enough about your throne chair to duel you over it nowadays. Although you never know, they are pretty cool! In living rooms, studies, and dens, these chairs prove a focal point that almost demands respect from guests. Sitting in a throne chair is sure to make you feel powerful, important, and even royal. Here are some great ones we recommend.

Purchasing a Throne Chair

What makes a throne chair so special, and how can you find one that’s right for you? Consider these points first:

• Style: Perhaps the most important aspect of the throne chair is the overall style you want to achieve: a party prop probably doesn’t need all the fancy bells and whistles, but if the chair is becoming an accent piece of furniture, you’ll want a little more flair.
• Size: Throne chairs range in size from smaller to “just right” to “how in the world did you get that in here?” Carefully choose the size that best fits your needs or your space.
• Comfort Level: If you’re buying the chair just for looks or as a prop, comfort probably isn’t a very big deal. However, if you’re planning to sit in your chair often, find one with nice padding or cushions.
