Accent chairs

From £450

Give any room in your home an extra boost of personality with our range of accent armchairs. These statement occasional chairs perform double duty, as stylish extra seating, to add instant character and transform an unused space into an eye-catching focal point.

Our selection of stylish and comfortable armchairs also creates a visual statement in your home and can be purchased as a standalone piece or as the perfect final touch to a living room.

What is an accent chair?

Accent chairs are designed to create visual impact in a room. Traditionally, they’re a different colour, material, or shape to the rest of your furniture, like your sofa, to create a distinctive focal point. You can also pair your new accent chair with our range of matching or contrasting footstools to make an extra stylish statement.

These chairs can be added to a living room, bedroom, or hallway to create additional seating or bring visual interest without taking up too much space.

All our accent chairs are made using only the best materials, and you can choose from a range of durable fabrics and varying styles. These occasional chairs are built with solid hardwood frames for exceptional strength and boast a combination or foam and fibre-filled cushions for that supremely comfortable feeling when you lean back.

What is an occasional chair?

Accent chairs are also known as occasional chairs or statement chairs due to their primary function as a visual element for your space rather than an everyday practical piece of furniture.

Whether creating an inviting reading nook in the living room, adding extra seating in the dining room, or as a stylish place to relax in the bedroom, accent chairs are a versatile addition to any room. Head over to our blog for more inspiration on how to choose an accent chair for your living room.

Accent chairs in different colours

There are so many options when it comes to choosing the colour of your occasional chair.

Opt for neutral shades, such as cream accent chairs, for a grounded and understated addition to any corner of your home.

More colourful chair options are ideal if you want to make a statement; choose from timeless grey, mustard yellow, rich blue, and many more.

Does an accent chair need to be a different colour to your sofa?

An accent chair doesn’t necessarily need to be a different colour. Its purpose is to stand out from your sofa and serve as a statement piece in the room. However, the occasional chair can differ in colour, shape, material, or texture to truly make an impact.

You can find out more about how to mix and match sofas and chairs over on the blog.
