Accent Chairs

Accent chairs for living room layouts

Accent chairs for living room seating usually sit across from or beside the sofa, angled in to form a conversation area. Place them within reach of a side table, about 18 inches from the coffee table, and keep main walkways around 30 inches wide.

A seat height close to the sofa's keeps conversation at eye level. A matching pair balances a room, while two different chairs work well when they share a color or scale.

Accent chairs for small spaces and bedrooms

Accent chairs for small spaces need a compact footprint and a light look, such as an armless chair, a barrel chair or a chair on slim legs. Check the listed width and depth against the spot, leaving room to pull the chair out and sit.

In a bedroom, a single chair beside a lamp or window makes a quiet corner, and select models include an ottoman or storage.

Swivel accent chairs, rocking and glider styles

Swivel accent chairs turn to face the TV, a window or the conversation, which helps in open rooms with more than one focal point. Some models here swivel, and some rock or glide, including chairs suited to a nursery.

Some models recline, and select chairs convert into a sleeper for an occasional guest.

Leather accent chairs and fabric choices

Leather accent chairs here come in genuine leather or vegan leather, which wipe clean more easily than textured fabrics. Fabric choices include boucle, velvet, sherpa, corduroy, chenille, linen, microfiber and faux fur, and select models use rattan.

Gray and beige are the most common colors, followed by green and brown.

Reading chair comfort and construction

A reading chair should support you for an hour or more, so look for a deep enough seat, a back high enough to rest your shoulders or head, and arms at a comfortable height.

Most accent chairs here list solid wood parts, such as legs or a frame, often with plywood or MDF panels, and some add a metal frame. Dust leather with a soft dry cloth and vacuum fabric with an upholstery attachment.
