Bamboo Chairs

I think I've finally decided on getting a cute little faux bamboo chair for my office. I think it would pair nicely with my desk. The desk is a flea market find with some classical detailing on it. It's a little beat up, but otherwise very charming. I prefer a painted chair in a fun color with a solid upholstered seat, or a white lacquer with a great print on the seat. I've rounded up some of the best examples of how to incorporate bamboo chairs into your home.

Here, Betsy Burnham painted a bamboo armchair powder blue and used it as a desk chair.

The Lonny Magazine office uses this bamboo chair as extra seating around a table. Perfect to pull up for an impromptu meeting.

Light and airy, it is the perfect choice to set aside a large window or glass door.

Nate Berkus uses a pair in his living room. They are easy to move and would be nicely suited to slide over next to the sofa during a cocktail party to allow a more intimate conversation.


This Elle Decor photo is an example of how bamboo chairs mix effortlessly with various styles and eras of furniture.


Palmer Weiss used this little cutie to place a stack of books. It is always at the ready should you need an extra seat.

  1. I never thought about it before, but you are right that the light/airiness would work for a desk too, without taking up too much visual space.

  3. Painted chairs are always fun. But if you want to get the eco setting inside the room then leave it just like that.
