One of the best ways to update a room is to add an accent chair. Not only will you provide extra seating (so practical!), accent chairs will enhance the style, palette and vibe of a space. With the extraordinary diversity of accent chairs available today, there’s no limit to how you can rejuvenate – even redefine – a room with the right chair choice. Read on…
We have accent chairs available in variety of styles, shapes, materials and sizes.
Styles.
Retro. Contemporary. Traditional. Ultra Modern. Industrial. French Country. Curved. Linear. Sleek. Ornate. What style is calling your name? Explore, explore, explore. Find the chair of your dreams. Maybe two chairs. Maybe more. The impact they make on a space is huge.
Shapes.
From a slipper chair to a club chair, from a wing back chair to a recliner, from an elegant Bergere chair to a simple rattan armchair – every silhouette adds its unique charm to a room. Match to your existing seating and décor theme, or introduce a chair that’s in bold contrast. Very cool. Very exciting.
Materials.
Again, diversity reigns. Choose from wood (dark and glossy to rugged and distressed), metal finishes (iron, gold, silver and bronze), leathers (smooth or distressed), suede and of course, fabric in every conceivable colour and pattern.

The Unexpected.
There’s a definite movement towards the unique and unusual in accent chairs. Whether it’s a bright turquoise leather, a thick faux fur upholstery, a bold floral on a conservative silhouette, accent chairs are fresher than ever. Whimsy abounds. Adventure calls. Have fun!
Purpose.
Don’t forget practicality! Will your chair be used a lot? Is it for reading or watching TV? Will it help define a conversation nook? Function, durability and comfort are still priorities.
Integration.
These days, almost anything goes in terms of mixing and matching. Experiment with eclectic and try an accent chair in juxtaposition to your room’s style. Or add an accent chair with a bright pop of colour in your neutral space. But be cautious. Be sure seat heights are balanced, that the scale is consistent and that there’s a unifying element to keep the look cohesive.
One of my favourite things about accent chairs is that they work in just about every room! Go beyond the living room. Add accent chair chic to your bedroom, bathroom, foyer – everywhere.
