Accent Chairs

Before you find your new favorite accent chair, we’d like to help you on your shopping journey by answering a couple of simple questions.

What are accent chairs?

Sometimes known as occasional chairs, accent chairs usually go in your living room. They have many uses, whether it’s to complement your décor, add a splash of color, bring additional seating, create a new focal point, or make a reading corner.

You can also place an accent chair in almost any room in your home, such as in your dining room as a dining chair, in the home office as a desk chair, or in your bedroom for a cozy seating area before bedtime.

Do accent chairs have to match your living room furniture?

No, an accent chair doesn’t have to match your sofa or other furniture in the room. It can add an eye-catching presence that stands out from the rest. You can spruce up a plain space or undefined corner with a different color, pattern, or style.

How to place accent chairs in the living room?

If you want to create a reading corner, you can place an accent chair in a corner near a window or bookcase.

When you want the accent chair to be integrated with the rest of the room, you can place it to the side or across from your existing living room furniture.

How to decorate accent chairs?

There are a few different ways you can do that. Depending on the size of your accent chair, you can add an accent pillow on top. For example, if you have a pattern accent chair, look for a solid color pillow that will match it. A side table can be added to the right or left of an accent chair, so it’s easy to reach for your beverage or phone while relaxing in your living room.

If your living room is missing an area rug, you can find one that is similar to the color of your new accent chair so they can complement each other. You can also do this by adding any wall art or accessories that match your new chair to create a consistent color scheme throughout your living room!

How to pick accent chair height?

That will depend on what you would like to place next to your chair. If you’re going for a side table, make sure the height of the accent chair will make it easy and comfortable for you to grab anything from the top of the table. If you plan on adding an ottoman as a footrest, make sure the accent chair isn't too low.How to choose the perfect accent chairs?This is up to you to decide.
