An accent chair is a single-seat chair chosen to complement a room's decor. It often stands out because of its unique color, design, or style, adding a point of interest and extra seating to your living room, bedroom, or entryway.

Consider the primary function you need. Armchairs are great for reading, Swivel chairs are perfect for conversation areas, slipper chairs are ideal for small spaces, and rocking chairs are best for relaxation. Explore our categories above to find the style that best fits your lifestyle.

First, measure the area where you plan to place the chair. Ensure there's enough space around it for movement (at least 18-24 inches). The chair's scale should complement your other furniture, like your sofa—not too big that it overwhelms the room, and not too small that it gets lost.

Accent chairs are incredibly versatile. The most popular spots are in a living room to provide extra seating, in a bedroom corner to create a cozy reading nook, or in an entryway to make a stylish first impression.
