Five Fabulous Accent Chairs
Accent chairs provide extra seating whilst also giving you chance to incorporate another colour, trend, style and shape into your home. As the name suggests, accent chairs can be used to bring something totally different to your space that you want to enjoy just a hint of.
Although you may feel like your furniture needs to have a practical purpose above all else, we think accent chairs are a unique opportunity to have fun with your décor. Buy something simply because you love it and it will bring excitement and life to your home in a way that outweighs the practical benefits that dominate most of our other furniture buys.
We’ve got tonnes of accent chairs, armchairs and occasional chairs on our website but here we’ve just picked out five of our favourites to get you started…
Clean Contemporary
The crisp, clean lines and minimal detailing of contemporary pieces are a welcome break from our hectic everyday lives, especially if you live in a smaller home that can easily become cluttered and messy.
But sometimes, contemporary interiors lack that cosy feeling that most of us love about our homes. With an accent chair, you can enjoy just a hint of the look.
The SITS Max has an ultra-sleek design with a compact frame and futuristic looking chrome legs. Choose from a huge range of fabrics and leathers from the brightest pops of colour to subdued neutrals.
A Modern Classic
If the sleek nature of the contemporary look isn’t for you, a classic piece with a modern twist might be more your thing.
The Alexander & James Betsy has a pretty fluted design with classic stud detailing that’s brought to life by this seasons must have fabrics and colours. The tub style makes for the perfect reading nook where you can escape into your own world.
60’s icon
The retro look is something a lot of us can appreciate but there’s no denying that an entirely retro themed room is a little bit intimidating. This is where accent chairs come in.
A retro looking accent chair like this G Plan Vintage Sixty Three Armchair can be used to hint at the retro trend without making your whole room scream sixties revival.
Here the chair is upholstered in statement contrasting fabrics but the look can be toned down further by choosing a single neutral colour.
Simply Leather
As much as accent chairs can be fun and exciting, a simply designed piece can bring just as much to an interior, plus they are probably the pieces you will get the most use out of over the years.
The Alexander & James Stockholm in classic Jin Brown Leather is a beautiful piece you’ll never tire of. The mid-tone leather will suit any decor, so it’s definitely a versatile piece that can be moved from room to room (or even house to house!)
Sophisticated Florals
Florals can easily look dated but in a small doses they look sophisticated and stylish, especially against a more modern décor.
The Isabelle Chair from Parker Knoll Maison collection has a romantic floral print that would look perfect in the corner of a calming bedroom.
