What are accent chairs?

Accent chairs are chairs that are designed to stand out in a room. They are often used to add a pop of color or texture to a space, or to provide additional seating. Accent chairs come in a variety of styles, including traditional, modern, and transitional, and can be made from a range of materials, such as leather, velvet, and linen.

What is the difference between an accent chair and a sofa chair?

The main difference between an accent chair and a sofa chair is their size. Accent chairs are typically smaller than sofa chairs and are designed to be used as additional seating in a room. Sofa chairs, on the other hand, are larger and are designed to be used as the primary seating in a room. Additionally, sofa chairs often come with a matching sofa, while accent chairs are typically standalone pieces.

What should I consider when buying an accent or sofa chair?

When buying an accent or sofa chair, there are several factors to consider. First, consider the style of the chair and how it will fit in with the overall design of your room. Next, consider the material of the chair and how it will hold up over time. If you have pets or children, you may want to choose a material that is easy to clean and durable. Finally, consider the comfort of the chair and whether it will be a comfortable place to sit for extended periods of time.

Chevron accent chairs. The geometric lines and crisp colors of the chevron pattern is the perfect way to give a transitional room a modernistic edge.
Floral accent chairs. Roses, magnolias and other botanicals printed in subdued colors across a soft accent chair are sure to sweeten up any space.
Abstract accent chairs. Thought-provoking art isn’t just for museums! Look for abstract patterns and interesting colors to add visual interest to an otherwise uninspired design.
Striped accent chairs. High in versatility yet still super stylish, stripes are renowned among designers for their elongating properties; use them to open up a small space!
Plaid accent chairs. Rustic meets farmhouse meets country when you style a standout accent chair – especially one made of distressed wood – with plaid or gingham upholstery.
Trellis accent chairs. A design classic, trellis is the perfect way to add depth to and contrast with an overall solid, monochrome palette.
Paisley accent chairs. A little bit retro, a little bit country and a whole lot chic – the dainty lines and feminine curlicues of paisley patterned accent chairs, especially in bright colors, will be sure to soften up any space.

How to Transform a Space with a Patterned Accent Chair

Scope out the overall color scheme of your existing living room or bedroom. If your space currently features two or three main colors, then pick one of those colors as the featured color of your patterned chair. If your space features more than three, adding a patterned accent chair to the mix will most likely make your space feel loud and chaotic – so consider stripping down the palette.
Enter a minimalist mindset. To make a patterned accent chair stand out, you want the surrounding décor to be kept to a minimum. If you’re planning on placing the chair to the side of a sofa, remove any patterned items currently in the area that could compete with the design, such as a tablecloth or curtains.
Balance with a throw. On its own, a patterned accent chair is designed to feel bold and attention grabbing, but if your style is a bit more subdued, consider offsetting it with a solid neutral blanket draped over the backrest and one arm. This will help to soften and break up stretches of uninterrupted pattern with a calming center of focus – without detracting from the chic upholstery!
