When a good friend asked for some dining room chair suggestions, it seemed like a simple task. But it’s weirdly difficult to find ones that are both comfortable and aesthetically appealing. So we asked a few of our favorite interior designers for the ones they think look good. And because many of these (don’t we all want a set of original Jean Prouvé Standard Chairs?) require a second mortgage, we dug around for some great affordable options, too. Kelly Wearstler’s instantly recognizable glam interiors—The Viceroy hotels, The Tides, Bergdorf Goodman—are responsible for an entire aesthetic. She has her own collection of home goods and accessories: It’s not all that surprising that one of her designs, the Elliott Chair, is on several designers’ lists. Studio Dining Chair Kelly Wearstler, $2,500 “My Studio Dining Chair has such a sexy, glamorous aura. Its curved, burnished bronze frame creates a distinctive, elegant form. I have it upholstered in a soft, luxurious cowhide in one of the conference rooms at my studio.”

“I have always been drawn to metal and this chair is unique because of its curved shape: It really softens the look. The chair is incredibly elegant but with a perfect amount of edge.” Kelly Wearstler Elliott Chair Kelly Wearstler, $3,600 “The Elliott Chair is a signature piece and perennial bestseller from my studio collection that is named for one of my boys. I love the juxtaposition between its classic form and modern proportions.” “The beauty of this glamorous vintage-inspired piece lies in its sculptural design. The bold lines in antiqued brass mixed with the textured reptile leather really create a one-of-a kind piece.” Beverly Side ChairHD Buttercup, $1675 Subtly exotic, these manage to be glamorous and simple at once.

'A lot of the jobs were too far so the travel expenses outweighed the wages, meaning by the time I had covered petrol, there wouldn't be enough left over to cover bills and shopping,' she told FEMAIL. 'Also, I was considered over-qualified for some jobs, and too inexperienced for others.' The final straw came when Vicky's ailing car gave up on the way to an interview.

'I have used eBay a lot in the past to sell items from around the house that I didn't need any more, and purchased things in the past myself,' she said. 'It's a huge platform already set up with its own customers, so it was very helpful in the sense that it take much to get started.

This week, Chancellor George Osbourne announced new tax breaks for 'microentrepreneurs' in the 2016 Budget. Individuals who make money on the side with ventures including eBay will not have to declare any earnings of up to £2,000. On top of that, another £1,000 tax-free allowance will be on offer specifically for online venders. Announcing the changes, Mr Osborne told MPs: 'There will be no forms to fill in, no tax to pay – it's a tax break for the digital age and at least half a million people will benefit.' An eBay spokesperson said: 'We welcome this personal tax allowance which shows that Britain is leading the way in recognising the rise of micro entrepreneurs. 'More and more people are using eBay's marketplace to supplement their income and the Chancellor is right to reward and encourage them to take part in the digital economy still further.'
