Collection: Accent Chairs

Choosing an accent chair

• Its job: for reading, look for a high back and a footrest; for conversation, a compact chair moves easily from room to room.
• Material: velvet, corduroy, sherpa, faux fur, faux leather or floral fabric; texture matters as much as colour.
• Style: mid-century with wooden arms, gold metal legs, Nordic, retro or a tufted wingback.
• Motion: a rocking chair helps you unwind at night, and a swivel papasan turns toward the window or the TV.

Frequently asked questions

How do I pair an accent chair with a sofa?

Pick a seat height close to the sofa's, then play with contrasting colour or texture. Angled toward the sofa, it invites conversation.

Which accent chair is best for long reading sessions?

Go for a high back, a thick cushion and somewhere to rest your feet, such as an ottoman or built-in footrest. Add a lamp and a small table within reach.
