Accent Chairs with Ottoman

Accent chair with ottoman sizes and footprint

An accent chair with ottoman takes more floor space than a chair alone, because the ottoman sits in front of the seat. Measured widths here run 29.8 to 49.2 inches, depths 27.4 to 60 inches and heights 24.8 to 40.2 inches, so check whether a listing measures the chair alone or the chair and ottoman together.

Seat heights run 17 to 21.7 inches. Plan space to walk around the ottoman, or push it against the chair when it is not in use.

Oversized accent chair with ottoman for lounging

An oversized accent chair with ottoman gives you room to curl up, read or nap. Some models here have a deep seat, some recline, some rock, and select models are longer lounge chairs built for stretching out.

Before choosing a larger model, measure doorways and hallways as well as the room, since the chair has to fit through them on the way in. Some models suit a nursery, where a footrest helps during long feedings.

Accent chair with storage ottoman and extras

An accent chair with storage ottoman hides blankets, books or remotes inside the footrest. Storage is available on some models, and some add USB charging for a phone or tablet.

A storage ottoman also works as a spare seat, or as a small table with a tray on top. Select models need no assembly, which helps if you want the chair ready soon after it arrives.

Chair and ottoman set fabrics and frames

A chair and ottoman set here is upholstered in corduroy, chenille, velvet, sherpa or other fabric, with the ottoman covered to match. Corduroy and chenille have a soft, textured feel, velvet has a smooth sheen, and sherpa feels warm and fluffy.

Some models use solid wood in the frame. Gray, beige and green are the most common colors, with brown, white, blue and orange also available. Vacuum the upholstery regularly, brush corduroy and velvet along the pile to keep the texture even, and follow the care label for spills.
