5 Ways to Style an Accent Chair at Home

An accent chair is the easiest way to give a room personality. The right chair adds colour, texture and an extra seat – all in one piece. Here are five simple ways to style one in your home.

1. Create a reading corner

Place an accent chair next to a window or a floor lamp, add a small side table and a cushion, and you have a cosy spot for books and morning coffee.

2. Pair it with your sofa

Angle an accent chair at the side of your sofa to create a conversation area. Choose a chair that contrasts with the sofa – a textured bouclé chair next to a smooth fabric sofa, for example.

3. Add it to the bedroom

A lounge chair in the corner of the bedroom gives you a place to sit while getting ready, or to unwind at the end of the day. Add a throw blanket for a layered look.

4. Use it as a statement piece

In an entryway or a large living room, a sculptural chair in a rich colour like mustard or rust becomes a focal point on its own.

5. Layer with cushions and throws

A textured cushion or a light throw makes an accent chair look inviting and helps tie it to the rest of your colour palette.

Quick tips

• Measure your space first – leave walking room around the chair.
• Match the chair's seat height to nearby sofas for a balanced look.
• Repeat the chair's colour once more in the room (a cushion or a vase) to make it feel intentional.
