Chairs & Accent Chairs

Before you choose the best accent chair for your living room, we’re going to make your shopping trip easier by answering frequently asked questions.

What are accent chairs used for?

Accent chairs, also known as occasional chairs, are designed to provide additional seating and add an eye-catching presence to your living room. You can use them for a reading corner, bring a pop of color, balance your decor, or define the mood of your space. The right accent chair can completely transform a boring or undefined corner of your house and provide a new focal point to your layout.

Should accent chairs be the same height as the sofa?

Accent chairs don’t need to be the exact same height as your sofa, just make sure the furniture in your living room doesn't have completely different measurements. You can check out the dimensions of each accent chair conveniently by viewing our selection.

How do you arrange accent chairs?

If you’re creating a reading corner, you can add a cozy accent chair to a corner of your living room, bedroom, or home office. Place your accent chair across from a sofa, loveseat, or next to a side table. You can also add a throw blanket or accent pillow to your seating area if you're planning on complementing the look of your living room.

How to choose an accent chair color?

Think about your living room decor and decide if you would rather have something that stands out as a focal point or blends in with your existing color scheme. You can also play around with different patterns and designs, just make sure the style won't clash with the rest of your furniture.

What is the best accent chair for my space?

There is not only one right answer for that, but you should always consider the size, color, and style of the accent chair, especially when placing it next to other seating pieces. Our incredibly diverse accent chair section has a few options to spruce up any corner of your home.
