Accent Chairs

Accent chairs here include tufted lounge chairs, Chesterfield styles, wingbacks, barrel chairs, slipper and swivel chairs, and several sold with an ottoman or toss pillow. Upholstery ranges from velvet, linen, chenille and boucle to faux fur, faux leather and genuine leather, on wood or metal frames.

Add a footrest from ottomans and a small side table for drinks and books. Tip: choose a seat height within an inch or two of your sofa so the room feels even.

How to choose an accent chair

An accent chair should do one job well: reading, conversation or simply adding color.

For reading: a lounge or wingback chair with a higher back and arms, plus an ottoman.
For conversation: a pair of barrel or swivel chairs facing the sofa, about 4 to 8 feet apart.
For small spaces: armless slipper chairs take up less visual room.
For color: velvet or boucle in a contrasting tone becomes the focal point.

Check fabric for your household. Faux leather and tighter weaves wipe clean and handle pets better; velvet and boucle feel soft but show wear faster in high-traffic spots. Measure the chair's depth as well as its width, since lounge styles can run deep.

Angle chairs slightly toward the center of the room and anchor them with a rug. Our living room rug placement guide shows how front legs should sit. For pillow pairing, see throw pillows.
