As mid-century classics do, Acapulco chairs are making a comeback, and not just on the patio. Just as hanging chairs found their way indoors, the Acapulco chair’s clean, geometric lines make it a natural fit with all kinds of furniture styles. Thanks to reissue by multiple manufacturers in an array of colors, sustainable materials and price points, it’s an indoor trend that’s here to stay. Whether you prefer them round, barrel-shaped or egg-shaped, here’s proof that Acapulco chairs make a bold boho statement in every room of the house. Scroll down to find out how to make Acapulco chairs work for your own aesthetic.
1. Living Room: The teal Acapulco chair looks right at home in this Barcelona living room. To get the same look, mix black and white cement tiles that’ll play well with industrial wood and metal pieces, and bring in a pop of color to mirror the intense blue statement wall. (via Vintage & Chic)
2. Kitchen: You may not immediately think a red Acapulco chair would be part of the kitchen decor, but this boho apartment in Madrid proves just how well it works. It feels both masculine and feminine with that pink SMEG fridge. (via Nuevo Estilo)
3. Office: This duo in black is a proper tie-in for the black fixtures and frames in this modern rustic room. Bring in layered textures like the faux fur rug and throws, to save the black and white theme from chilly austerity. (via Arianna Trapani / The Luxe Pad)
4. Deck: This super minimal home in Los Gatos is beautifully punctuated with moments of “chaos and color.” The iconic lines of the Acapulco chairs fit right in with the home’s indoor-outdoor synergy. (via Apartment Therapy)

In this room, soft and cushy textiles, wool and cashmere knitted blankets and luxurious carpets add warmth and coziness to the concrete floors. The simple black Acapulco chair works well with the stark, minimalist and industrial pieces. (via Jared Chambers / My Paradissi)
