The tradition of a bedroom slipper chair is an elegant but utilitarian seat for dressing. Typically, the chairs are compact and low to the ground so they don't steal space. They're also armless (to allow movement) and upholstered (to avoid runners in the pantyhose).
Links and prices after the jump!
We first rounded up three chairs that adhere to the standard. Then, keeping the essence of the slipper chair in mind, we threw the rules out the window and found three more that could turn your modern-day bedroom into a true boudoir.

I have 2 of a MUCH earlier version of the Bianco chair (from the 50's or 60's.) Anybody know what "retro" chair Room and Board based their version on?

I'm not sure nikkicole, but I have a similiar chair in my living room right now too! I bought it on ebay and I'd say its from the 50s or 60s as well. It definitely cost a lot less than the R&B chair :)
