Not only is this chair super unique, it’s also a great way to add that pop of color that will catch the eye of anyone who walks by your home office. Awesome way to use pink in decor, right? You could risk making the watercolor directly to a chair, but we’d recommend using fabric instead - it’ll prevent from getting messy and guarantee a gorgeous result!
