A great pop of colour, an unexpected pattern, and a big dose of function; the accent chair can do a lot for your home. Don’t know where to start? We’ve got three easy ways you can add colour, pattern, and function into your home with the help of the awesome accent chair.

Dining Room Drama

Why not bring a little drama to your dining room? Adding in a bold wing chair at each end of the table can really add elegance and surprise to the room, not to mention comfort for those long after dining conversations. Short on space? Why not try using a variety of occasional chairs in different colours or fabrics to add some whimsy and charm.

Lounging Lady

What is your loungewear of choice? Whether it is silk and fancy, or sweatpants and slouchy socks, a great comfy lounger accent chair can be just the ticket to achieving the ultimate in comfort. In the dressing room or bathroom, a soft slipper chair can add much-needed seating for those days when you want to spend a little longer getting ready. Or maybe you want to linger over a good book? A wing chair or extra deep club chair could hold your attention while you escape into the pages.

Enticing Entrances

We all like to make a great entrance, and so does our home. Make your entryway enticing, welcoming, and functional by adding an accent chair fit for the space. A small seat allows everyone a simple spot for shoe removal, putting down a handbag, or simply collapsing after a busy day. An entryway accent chair is also a great way to add a dash of colour or pattern, helping to welcome you home. Check out this great photo inspiration source on Houzz for ideas.
