House of Nomad Anywhere Chair in Black & White Checked
The House of Nomad Anywhere Chair in black and white checked is the kind of piece that makes a room feel considered without trying too hard. With its bold check pattern and relaxed silhouette, it moves easily from living room to bedroom to reading nook—wherever you need an extra seat and a little extra character. At Shop House of Nomad, we love pieces that earn their place in your home, and this chair is designed to do exactly that.
Why the Anywhere Chair Works in Real Homes
Most of us don't have a spare room to dedicate to a single chair. The Anywhere Chair is built for the way people actually live: it's light enough to reposition when the mood strikes, compact enough for tight corners, and comfortable enough that guests will actually sit in it. The black and white checked upholstery adds graphic punch without committing you to a strong color, which means it plays well with almost any palette you already have.
Because the pattern is classic rather than trendy, the chair won't feel dated in a year or two. It's a piece you can build around—or simply enjoy as the finishing touch in a room that's already coming together.
Where to Put It: Styling Ideas for Every Room
- Living room: Pair it with a neutral sofa and a small side table to create a conversation corner. The check pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming the space.
- Bedroom: Use it as a bedside chair for reading, dressing, or laying out tomorrow's outfit. It's a softer alternative to a bench at the foot of the bed.
- Entryway: A chair by the door gives you a spot to sit while pulling on shoes—and makes the first impression of your home feel intentional.
- Home office: Pull it up to a desk for a guest, or place it in the corner as a spot to take a call away from the screen.
- Reading nook: Add a floor lamp and a small stack of books, and you have a dedicated corner for slowing down.
Because the chair is designed to move, don't feel locked into one placement. Try it in one room for a week, then another—you'll quickly learn where it earns its keep.
How to Mix Black and White Checks with Your Existing Decor
Checked upholstery can feel intimidating if you're used to solid colors, but it's one of the easiest patterns to live with. Here are a few guidelines:
- Keep the rest of the room calm. Let the chair be the pattern moment. Solids, subtle textures, and natural materials like wood, rattan, and linen will balance it beautifully.
- Layer in warm tones. Camel leather, terracotta ceramics, or a warm wood floor keep the black and white from feeling stark.
- Repeat the pattern sparingly. A matching pillow or a small checked throw can tie the chair to the rest of the room—just don't overdo it.
- Consider scale. In a small room, a single patterned chair reads as a deliberate accent. In a large room, it can anchor a seating group.
Comfort and Practicality: What to Expect
The Anywhere Chair is designed for everyday use—perching, reading, chatting, and occasionally serving as a landing spot for a folded throw. Its proportions suit adults and kids alike, and the upholstery is chosen for durability as much as looks. As with any upholstered piece, keep it out of direct, prolonged sunlight to protect the fabric, and vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment to lift dust from the weave.
For spills, blot—don't rub—with a clean, dry cloth, and spot-clean according to the care guidance included with your chair. If you're unsure, test any cleaning product on a hidden area first.
Pairing the Chair with Other House of Nomad Pieces
The black and white checked Anywhere Chair sits comfortably alongside the rest of the Shop House of Nomad collection. Consider pairing it with a woven basket for blankets, a simple side table, or a textured rug to soften the graphic pattern. Because the chair is neutral in color but bold in pattern, it works as a bridge between styles—equally at home in a modern apartment, a traditional house, or a collected, layered space.
