We are currently looking at possible seating for the living room. A cheap option would to buy a few of the stackable Ikea "poufs". I am thinking two would be enough, and then we could have two of the Ikea stools. The only problem is when I went to Ikea last time I couldn't seem to find them anywhere?? I really like them though, and with the added touch of a nice throw, and maybe a tray, I'm thinking they would look tres chic!
Of course the X-bench is also a desirable option but not quite in the budget, and probably not big enough- the stools would be cozier.
What do you think?

IMHO you might consider a short divan to sit in front of that radiator. It's not as clunky as a sofa, or uncomfortable as a backless seat; remember the one I have in my living room? Something like this, but of course it needn't be so elaborate: http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/11100262/Gorgeous_Chaise_Lounge_Sofa_Settee/showimage.html
ReplyDeleteAlso, you might think about a sleigh-bed style seat, which is backless but still has the arms for more comfort: http://vandm.com/Egyptian_Revival_Chaise_Lounge
I think you could do floor pillows just as easily as the stools...
ReplyDeletethe west elm poufs you could really sink into, but I think they are sold out (plus they cost more than the ikea ones)
I bet you've been on Clist ...i have found some great little ottomans and stools on Clist!
Check out the urban outfitters globetrotter pouf!
ReplyDeleteI die...I love it so much! MAYBE FOR MY BASEMENT???
The Fleur embroidered pouf is sooo cute for only $49.99
ReplyDeleteThe globetrotter pouf is amazing!! Great pick!! I also love the Ikat chairs.... My sister told me she found two at Homesense, but when I went to the one on Yonge- they were gone unfortunately!!

But seriously they are great chairs, and cheap, but I never had a perfect spot in the house for them!
