Armchairs and Accent Chairs
Types of Accent Chairs (and What They’re Great For)
Here’s a quick hit list of popular styles and where they shine:
- Swivel chair: Spins 360°. Perfect for multi-tasking and switching conversations (or perspectives).
- Wingback: Tall, dramatic, and a bit traditional — perfect for reading corners or classic vibes.
- Club chair: Low, wide, and lounge-ready. Great for long chats or quiet nights in.
- Barrel chair: Sculptural and stylish with a curved embrace. A total show-stealer.
- Slipper chair: Armless, low-profile, and ideal for tight spots that need extra seating.
- Mid-century modern: Clean lines and tapered legs with just enough retro charm.
- Recliner: Kick back, relax, repeat.
- Chaise lounge: The daydreamer’s chair — built for full-body lounging.
- Rocking chair: Soothing motion meets classic charm.
Pick the Right Armchair for Real Life
Your armchair should do more than look good — it should *feel* good. Whether it’s your go-to reading nook, a quiet corner in the bedroom, or the finishing touch in the living room, find a style that fits your life, not just your layout.
Choose Materials That Go the Distance
- Leather: Timeless and tough, with a patina that just gets better.
- Performance fabric: Spill-resistant and built for busy homes. Go ahead, live a little.
- Sherpa: Feels like a hug. Looks like cozy sophistication.
- Velvet: Plush, polished, and just a bit extra — in the best way.
Size and Layout: The Practical Stuff
- Measure first: Avoid the dreaded “doesn’t fit” moment. Map out the space ahead of time.
- One or two? A solo chair makes a statement. A pair creates instant symmetry and a conversation zone.
- Seat height and depth matter: Need support? Prefer to sink in? Choose what suits your body and lifestyle. Here’s how.
How to Mix and Match Like You’ve Done This Before
Contrary to what your inner perfectionist says, matching is optional. Mixing materials, styles, and colours is how you add soul. Just keep these tips in your back pocket:
- Find common ground: Maybe it’s a shared material, color, or shape that ties things together.
- Balance shapes and sizes: Pair a chunky club chair with a sleek mid-century piece for contrast.
- Comfort counts: Variety’s great — as long as each chair earns its keep.
- Think like a curator: Let your furniture tell a story or highlight a feature, like a fireplace or art wall.
- Play with texture: Velvet and leather? Sherpa and wood? Yes, yes, and yes.
- Layer it up: A well-placed throw or cushion can pull the whole look together.
FAQ
What’s the difference between an accent chair and an armchair?
An armchair is made for comfort and everyday lounging. An accent chair is more about style, though we believe comfort should never be optional. Use them interchangeably, or together, depending on your space.
Which accent chairs work best in small living rooms?
Slipper chairs are the MVPs of small spaces — armless, low, and easy to tuck in. Bonus points if they have visible legs or light fabric to keep the room feeling airy. Need more tips? We’ve got you. Check out our guide on how to style a small living room.
Best chair for reading or relaxing?
Think deep seat, supportive back, and maybe an ottoman for full stretch-out potential. Something you can sink into — but still get up from without drama. Start here.
Can I pair my armchair with a matching sofa or ottoman?
Absolutely. A matching set creates a polished look. But mixing pieces with shared design details or tones gives you a more curated, lived-in feel. Either way, you win.
