I've Seen 100s of Martha Stewart-Designed Furnishings, but This Upholstered Chair Is Her Smartest – It's Discreetly Functional (and Under $258)

In the last year, I've spent more hours than I can confess scrolling through Martha Stewart's collections, and I'm consistently impressed with her offerings. The original influencer has mastered the intricate art of style and functionality in every accent chair she designs – but arguably nothing epitomizes this like her upholstered dining armchair.

Martha Stewart's London Dining Armchair (available at Wayfair) is an entertainer's must-have. Still, it also has a life beyond the dining room – it's equally at home in a living room or a cozy reading nook as it is alongside your table. Its neutral style needs no lengthy explanation, but its secret casters are much more discreet.

Beneath its elegantly skirted base, these hidden casters provide smooth, effortless movement while maintaining a polished look – and I'm seriously impressed by this secret functionality.

I'll admit, as someone who lives in a tiny apartment, I'm equally impressed by its versatility. Though labelled as a dining chair, its neutral palette means it wouldn't look out of place in my small living room, especially when I need extra seating over this hosting period.

I was notorious for bringing random dining chairs and stools into my living space for my guests, but this chair changes the game. It looks like it's made for a living room, and, thanks to its plush design, I can be sure my guests will be comfy all evening long.

If you’re excited by the idea of adding a Martha Stewart-designed chair to your home – but this upholstered piece isn’t quite your style (and that's totally understandable!) – don’t worry. Wayfair has discounted several of our favorite Martha-designed pieces this weekend. Check out some Homes & Gardens-approved picks below.
