Like other pieces of accent furniture, stylish accent chairs are used to complement your existing furniture and put some zest in your décor. They are used to add additional seating to your living room, bedroom and dining room. If you are lucky enough to have the space, adding an accent chair can give you the opportunity to express your personality and individualize your space.

According to Deepak Jain, owner of Home Living Furniture in Howell, New Jersey, accent chairs are extremely popular with shoppers. “People love to pick out accent chairs,” he said. “Whether they are looking forward to watching TV in a recliner with their feet up or a quiet spot on a chaise longue to catch up with the latest novel, accent chairs get an enthusiastic thumbs up. We display a huge choice of accent chair collections in our showroom from the most well-known national brands, and we always offer discount prices.”

Choosing the Right Accent Chair

Accent chairs can add an air of stately elegance or provide a place to relax in comfort. They can make a strong statement of style, or they can integrate with the existing furniture while waiting to be used for extra seating. The type of accent chair you choose depends on how you intend to use it, as well as the space available in the room. Deepak Jain recommends that shoppers choose their accent chair based on style so it will work well in the room. A club chair will complement the furniture in a formal library, while an impressive wingback chair goes well in a classic living room.

He also offers tips for shoppers looking for the right accent chair. “Pay attention to the fabric, since that is what defines the look and feel of your accent chair and defines its care. If you have children or pets, pick a durable fabric. People who love a rugged feel can choose suede or leather,” he said. “Accent chairs can be used to provide a pop of color in a neutral room. Picture a quiet living room with dove greys and whites, and then add an exciting bright red armchair. Instant drama!”

Popular Types of Accent Chairs

Add personality to your décor by choosing the right style of accent chair.

The Dramatic Wingback
Most of us have walked into a formal living room with a pair of wingback accent chairs that add classic elegance. The dramatic winged sides and tall back make the wingback easy to identify. To choose a wingback you need a good amount of space and a large sofa for balance.
The Comfy Club Chair
The club chair is a favorite accent chair that will stand the test of time. The first club chairs made their appearance in the English gentleman’s clubs in the 1800’s. They are still popular for living rooms today. Traditionally upholstered in leather with nail head trim, the club chair is a substantial chair that should be placed away from a fireplace and direct sunlight.

The Practical Side Chair

Side chairs are used for extra seating in the dining room or living room. They feature upholstered frame construction and sometimes include arms for comfort. People choose side chairs because they take up less space than other types of accent chairs.

The Glamorous Chaise Longue
The “long chair” or chaise longue is a stylish accent chair often found in the bedroom. Traditional chaise longue chairs are curvy and sensuous, and today they can be found in more contemporary styles with straighter lines. Chaise longues provide a quiet place to relax in the bedroom during the day for a quick nap or for reading a book.
