Arm chairs and cane statues are becoming popular in sculptures in the living room in 2025. Consider bulbous shapes, asymmetry, or wood frames that can also be pieces of art.

Even in a modern minimalist-styled space, a single bold chair would alter the tone altogether.
2. Arm Chairs in Unexpected Kitchen Corners
Among 2025 trends that are most shocking to me is the idea to put an arm chair in the kitchen. Reading recipes or morning coffee sessions are precisely what this concept would be perfect to ease up the otherwise functional environment. Put it at a corner in the presence of a window or breakfast corner. Select a fabric that cannot be used on upholstery which subtly contrasts the cabinetry- such as soft linen or distressed leather- to ward off cool surfaces.
3. Reupholstered Vintage Finds with Bold Colors
Have some hobby-pirates you love flea markets or you cleaned out your grandmother and she left you a chair? 2025 is the occasion you need to boldly reupholster them to.

It’s a favorite trick among decorators like Emily Henderson. Go with muted colors to have timeless style or jewel ones to have glams.
6. Painted Wooden Arm Chairs with Character
The arm chairs that are made of painted wood are experiencing renaissance. Be it a farmhouse-y piece covered in chalky sage or a mid-century frame that has been painted in a glossy navy, adding a splash of color to the woods adds life into pieces people have forgotten about. They are fantastic to give character to a sleeping room reading corner or a nook centered in a recessed hallway. Here the DIY feel is embracing, down to earth and intensely intimate.
7. Arm Chairs That Match Your Couch and Sofa Set
Styling your arm chair with your sofas and couch and cushions may sound a retrograde idea like it used to be in the past, but it is classy reappearance in 2025 with a twist.

The same fabric as the couch on an upholstered armchair in a living room creates harmony that is not boring to look at.

Leather arm chairs in old tobacco or dark espresso tones are serious pieces that will appeal to loft or city interior-loving fans.
