Accent Chair FAQs

1. Why choose an accent chair?

Accent chairs are a great way to add a statement piece to your design. A pop of colour or a unique texture can help to draw eyes to a specific area of your living room. They’re also as functional as they are decorative, making them a great choice for expanding your décor without sacrificing space for seating.

2. How to style your home with an accent chair

An accent armchair can spruce up a dull corner of your room, or pull attention to the middle of your space as a centrepiece. Try pairing your accent chair with a side table for a cosy retreat, or add a contrasting rug to highlight its surrounding area.

3. How many accent chairs can you have in a living room?

The number of seats needed in a room depends on the size of your space. Smaller rooms may only need one or two accent chairs, while larger spaces can accommodate more. Accent armchairs are most effective when used in moderation, as they stand out from the rest of your seats, so be sure not to clutter your design too much.

4. Should an accent chair match your sofa?

Your living room’s design will often look better if your accent chair doesn’t match your sofa, as this contrast allows it to stand out more for a bolder effect. Try pairing a dark coloured sofa with a lighter statement chair, or vice versa, for a striking look.

5. How to accessorise an accent chair

There are plenty of ways to customise an occasional chair with your own personal touches. Try pairing your chair with soft furnishings, using a blend of textures or patterns to make your seating stand out even more.
