Showcase your seating.
There was a time when we designed our home office or work zone for comfort and efficiency. Not anymore! With the advent of the hybrid workforce and Zoom meetings becoming the standard, these spaces are on display for the world to see. The first step to a display-worthy office and study space is a stylish office chair: A chair that presents an air of professionalism and intrigue. It’s trendy and cool and a far cry from the ordinary boring office chairs of yesterday.
Are you ready to flaunt your taste and fashion at your next Zoom meeting? We’ve selected our favorite top eight stylish office chairs, from designer leather to velvet and viral. And while these chairs may scream fashion, they’re also quite comfortable — a win-win!

Color affects our emotions and feelings. We know blue soothes and red shouts passion. But what about white? According to Color Psychology, white represents a blank canvas—the freedom of new beginnings, creativity and order. New job, anyone?
The Nouhaus +Posture Ergonomic Office Chair, made with white PU leather, offers modern luxury and the perfect mix of elegance and functionality. After all, you shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and design. With five different lumbar support options and adjustable, curved, padded armrests, you get both. For those looking for an air of mystery or warmth, it also comes in black and taupe.
Wingback chairs and the traditionalist

What impression do you get when you walk into an office with a wingback chair? It’s the home of a distinguished executive, possibly one with old-world money. Invented in the 16th century, these chairs were at one time made only for royalty. The tall backrest that curves out to the side and the “wings” that partially enclose you definitely make an elegant statement.
The Boss Office Products Wingback Traditional Chair comes in black and burgundy. Its traditional button-tufted styling, brass nails and elegant mahogany wood finish shout dignified and regal.
Gold and velvet for modern glamour

Fortunately, in today’s world, stylish is not synonymous with straight-back chairs. Sometimes you want the luxury of kicking back, taking breaks to listen to your favorite playlists or reading a chapter of your newest can’t-put-down book.
The glitzhome Mid-Century Modern Air Leatherette Office Chair looks beyond professional with its high back, soft and smooth black leatherette and padded headrest. Little will your colleagues on the other side of the camera know that it has an adjustable angle of up to 105 degrees and is ergonomically designed for long stints at your desk.
When stylish translates to relaxed

As the ancient Chinese proverb says, “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” Imagine pressing a button to enjoy a vibrating massage right before your online meeting begins. Or right after a Zoom meeting that doesn’t go quite as planned.
Fortunately, GURLLEU offers a stylish massage office chair that reclines to 175 degrees, letting you lock it in at any angle. For the ultimate comfort, pull out the retractable footrest.
The viral Tik Tok chair

An office chair gone viral must have some exotic features, right? Or maybe it’s designed to let you sit cross-legged. If you guessed the latter, you would be correct.
The Emiah Armless Office Chair offers an extra wide seat and an armless design, giving you the space to cross your legs while working. The U-shaped design ensures a correct sitting posture while the tilt function lets you recline to 120 degrees.
If you’re a fidgeter or want to practice the lotus sitting position while working or Zooming, this may be your ideal chair. Keep in mind they’ll be no gliding across the floor from file cabinets to the bookshelf and back to the desk. Instead of casters, it’s grounded by non-slip natural rubber feet pads.
Art Deco with modern accents

Do you appreciate clean lines, sleek geometric forms and simple design? If so, Art Leon Desk Chairs may call you. These mid-century modern swivel accent chairs feature curved armrests, high-quality linen and solid wood legs. You can choose from brown, grey, off-white and yellow linen.
A 360-degree swivel base lets you multitask with ease. And, to top it off, these chairs come in sets of two.
Creating your Zoom-ready space
Once you’ve picked out your stylish office chair, explore the other details, like the space behind you that everyone sees in an online meeting. One stand-out art piece, a collection of books, plants or artistic photos can create warmth and interest. A blank wall, on the other hand, can leave a bland impression.
One A/B test study found that 41% of over 1,500 participants used a blank wall as a backdrop. The impression? Those with blank walls received the lowest perceived ratings in trustworthiness, professionalism and intelligence.
Are you ready to spruce up your home office and create the best impression at your next Zoom meeting? Start with one of these stylish office chairs, then let your inner muse and designer take over.
