Determine the Accent Chair's Function & Aesthetic

For larger spaces, our accent chairs for the living room serve as both functional seating and sophisticated decor, with designs that catch the eye and invite you in.If your aesthetic leans towards the sleek and minimal, our living room chairs deliver clean lines and modern flair. For homes with a classic touch, try accent armchairs for the living room that feature soft fabrics and rich textures. And for those compact spots, accent chairs for sitting room areas can be a space-saving lifesaver without sacrificing style.
Decide the Placement of Your Accent Chair
Where you plan to place your accent chair will determine what size and structure is best for your space. If your space is compact, club chairs and barrel chairs are a great option. On the other hand, lounge chairs and chaises are the perfect living room accent chair for filling a large space. Is the accent chair going in the corner? A chic corner chair upholstered in an on-trend fabric like boucle or velvet instantly transforms unused floor space into the hottest seat in the house. Finally, decide what room your accent seating will be placed in. Perhaps you want a modern living room chair that makes a statement or fills up the room. In that case, choose one that complements your existing pieces without blending in; think a sculptural mid-century modern accent chair for an old-school space or a shaggy sheepskin piece for a glam lounge. Or maybe you want an accent chair for your bedroom that invites you to wind-down after a long day. In that case, select a chair with a curved body or inviting upholstery such as velvet.Styling Accent Chairs
Once you've picked out your new accent chair, it's time to accessorize. How you introduce your new accent chair to your home depends on your existing furniture assortment. Let your contemporary accent armchairs take center stage when paired with a muted sectional and a neutral accent rug. Perhaps you already have a statement sofa or stunning bed frame. In this case, choose a chair that blends in, such as a white accent chair. To complete the look of your contemporary accent chair, pair it with your favorite accent pillows or throw blankets so that every time you see your new seat you can't help but sit down.
