What Is An Accent Chair?

What Material is the Most Comfortable for an Accent Chair?

When picking fabric or leather upholstered accent chairs, it’s important to think about their location and intended purpose. Depending on where you place your accent chair, the level of its use will change. For example, a chair will receive a lot of wear and tear in high traffic areas and heavy use in the family room, living room, or den. If that’s the case and you’re worried about your accent chair’s durability, you might opt for a chair with protective and durable fabric to avoid stains and dirt. However, if you plan on using your accent piece in a low-traffic area like a bedroom or formal space, you can opt for something a bit more elegant to better fit your decor.

Can an accent chair be reupholstered?

Q: Why Choose An Accent Chair?

Finding furniture items that match each other is a natural way to go about furnishing a room. That's why furniture sets are so popular. The only downside with that approach is that everything tends to look the same. Any interior designer worth their salt will advise you to avoid creating a living space featuring too much of any one thing. If you're furnishing a retail space, a clean, minimalist, monochromatic approach makes sense. But, that's not the case when it comes to your home. Creating elegant living spaces requires warmth, style, and comfort. It also requires an eye for contrast and balance. That's precisely where accent chairs come in handy.
