An accent chair is a seating piece that can be placed strategically inside a room to provide style and added seating. There are two ways that you can use an accent chair; first, you can have it positioned at a place where it best complements or highlights the textures and colors of larger pieces; second, it can also serve as a secondary seating unit in a room.
There are many accent chair styles to choose from. You can have the simple, straight-back sitting piece, one with arms, or you can have a rocking chair. This chair can also be a bigger piece like a chaise lounge.
Accent Chair Placement
The whole point of using an accent chair is to have it work in conjunction with all the other furniture in a room. The look that you are supposed to achieve should be harmonious and functional. And, oh, don’t forget that they have to look pretty, too.
A wonderful example of a chair that has been strategically placed inside a huge living room is when it is grouped with other seating units in the conversation area. There always has to be a focal point like a fireplace. It is also attractive to have a secondary seating place for all your reading activities. This place is where an accent chair can also be used.
Whether you would want a reading nook or the living room as a home for your accent chair, it is important to pick the one that would define that space, give it personality, and a breath of fresh air.
Here are some basic tips in finding the right accent chair –
Find the Right Pattern
If all the other furniture pieces lack character, then it’s about time to add some spice. A patterned accent chair should be able to do this. A well-chosen pattern can pull all the other colors on other furniture, making the design look more unified.
A patterned accent chair is a wonderful focal point for any room. It can also add depth that no other piece of furniture will be able to give.
Choose the Right Style
There are many accent chair styles ranging from recliners, club chairs to wing chairs. Since this is so, make sure that you find the right one that will answer your requirements and fulfill your preferences. Make sure that it won’t clash with the current room décor or you’d end up having to shop for another accent chair, if not have it reupholstered and such. In short, if you want to have zero headaches, be sure to choose the right style from the onset. Of course, you would not want cramp an oversized lounger inside a cozy living room. That seating unit will surely gather attention but one that isn’t pleasant.
Now don’t be afraid to experiment with the styles, though. Even patterns that don’t match can fit perfectly together once they are placed in a room. The accent chair’s pattern may not be an exact match to your current furniture but you should be able to see some aspect that will anchor it to the rest of your design pieces. For instance, you can use the red on the rose painting and have it on as a base color for your accent chair.
The Right Fabric Matters
The fabric used on your accent chair is also important. One of the classic choices is suede but think twice about using it if you have kids and pets at home.
For those who are looking for a more classic vibe, you can choose leather. This can give the room a more organic look. Of course, your choice of accent chair fabric all boils down to what is best for day-to-day living. It is also important to note what would best achieve your perceived look.
