How to Decorate Your Living Room with Accent Chairs

The living room is one of the most important rooms in your home. It is where you gather with friends and family to entertain and spend quality time together, so you want to make your living room decor just right. Offering plenty of seating is a great way to make your living space more inviting. We recommend decorating with accent chairs in your living room to help fill your space and provide ample seating for your guests. Let’s go through a few different styles to help you decide which accent chair is right for your space. 

Types of Accent Chairs

Swivel Accent Chairs

Swivel chairs are designed with comfort in mind and are perfect for adding a relaxing vibe to your living space. They are also exceptionally useful because they provide functional and comfortable seating. They maximize the layout and utility of a space. If you enjoy gathering with guests in your living room, a swivel chair is an excellent option as an accent chair.

Wingback Accent Chairs 

Wingback chairs help bring a classic, traditional flair to your living room. Their distinctive shape is sure to make a statement and bring a dramatic focal point to your space. We recommend choosing a neutral color for your couch and opting for a vibrantly colored wingback accent chair to make a bold design statement. With padded, winged sides and a tall back, a wingback chair is an elegant choice for your living room.

Barrel Accent Chairs

Barrel accent chairs provide an inviting yet chic look to any living room. They are known for their comfortable fully-curved back, which resembles the cross-section of a barrel. Soft upholstery and plenty of padding make barrel chairs a great place to sit and relax. If you love midcentury modern design, a barrel accent chair is perfect for you. 

How to Choose the Right Accent Chair for You

• Match your aesthetic

When choosing your accent chair, make sure it complements the style and color scheme of your living room. Although accent chairs are great for making a statement, you don’t want it to look like it doesn’t belong in your space. Cohesion plays a large role in good interior design.

• Keep your guests in mind

If your main goal is to provide additional seating for your guests, you should opt for a comfortable accent chair that they will actually enjoy sitting in. The chair should offer plenty of support so guests will have no complaints while sitting for longer periods of time. Cleo’s Furniture offers high-quality accent chairs that provide plenty of comfortable support.

• Choose the right size

The right chair depends on the size of your living room, the existing furniture in your living room, and more. You want to be sure that the height of your accent chair is close to the height of your sofa. When shopping for a new accent chair, you should know the measurements of your other living room furniture pieces.
