When you think of Homebase, your mind usually jumps to paint, decking and garden furniture. Sumptuous furniture is probably the last thing to cross your mind right?
However, last year that all changed when Homebase created their version of the highly covetable velvet cocktail chair. This summer the brand has gone one step further by dressing up the chair in the hottest pattern of the year – Dalmatian print!

Dalmatian print has been the interior trend taking over homes and Instagram. From feature walls, rugs, to up-cycled desks, no surface has been left untouched by the spotty trend. Now it has made it's way onto one of our favourite accent chairs.
Priced at £70 the Dalmatian print version of the chair is £10 more expensive than the original Homebase occasion chair. However, in our opinion, it is still a bargain.
The chair is exactly the same as the one we all fell for last year. The only difference is the delicate monochrome spots, and the black solid wood legs.
When adding Dalmatian print into a room we'd recommend using it as an accent on a piece of furniture, accessories or feature wall to avoid you home looking like Cruella de Vil's secret lair.

If you aren't spotty for spots, you can still pick up one of Homebase's original colour block chairs. Velvet cocktail chairs have been bestsellers all over high street. Just take a peak at Oliver Bonas, Habitat or literally every other home store if you don't believe us.
The thing that sets the Homebase chair apart is the cost – it's available at a fraction of the price of other versions.

If you are in the market for an affordable gorgeous new cocktail chair we’ve found two great options for you to choose between. Can you spot the difference?
