What are Accent Chairs Used For?

When it comes to interior design and styling different rooms in your home, different types of accent furniture are used to create a captivating point of contrast that brings a room’s look together.

Much in the way that an accent wall is a singular wall in any room designed to make a room pop, so too is an accent chair used for the same means. Accent chairs are typically single-seat chairs with a bold colour or patterned design that contrasts and complements the overall look of the room.

While they still serve the functional purpose of being a place to sit, they’re also there to serve as a visual flourish for the room’s overall aesthetic.

How Many Accent Chairs Should I Have In My Living Room?

Given that accent chairs are intended to provide contrast in a room’s design, ideally you’d focus on having one or two accent chairs in your living room. Of course, this can differ depending on the size of the room and the other furniture you have.


For much larger living rooms with more space to spare, you could potentially use multiple accent chairs, but you just want to be mindful of balancing aesthetics and practicality. You don’t want more chairs than you need for functional purposes, and you don’t want to flood a room with so many accent chairs that they no longer feel like actual accent pieces.

How to Use Accent Chairs

Accent chairs can be used in any room where you want to create a carefully balanced contrast between the chair itself and the other furniture and features of the room.


When considering one for your room, the team at Factory Buys suggest asking the following questions:


  • Do you have the space for an accent chair without it obstructing the flow or pathing of the space?

  • Which colour or pattern is going to act as a good contrast to the other features of the room?

  • What practical purpose can your accent chair serve? Beyond aesthetic impact, is it still functional for the space?

  • Is the space best served by an accent chair or a different type of accent-focused design (e.g. an accent wall)?


Accent chairs aren’t supposed to dominate the space they’re in; they’re supposed to add a unique flair to them. If your accent chair is drawing attention away from everything else in the room, then it’s not adding character as much as it’s becoming the main character of the space.

How to Match Accent Chairs with Sofas

When matching an accent chair to a sofa, you want to keep contrast in mind. A good basic point to start from is the design of both. As they’re supposed to contrast but complement each other, you’d want to match a sofa with subdued colours to an accent chair with bold bright colours or vice versa.


The same applies to patterns. If your sofa has no determined pattern, then it’d be worth considering an accent chair with an eye-catching pattern. If your sofa does have a patterned design, then your accent chair could either a) be a single solid colour or b) have a patterned design that contrasts that of your sofa.


Consider the shape of your sofa, as well. If it’s rounded, an accent chair with a more squared-off build could serve as a nice contrast. And, again, you can apply this in reverse - a rounded accent chair for a squared-off sofa.


While the sofa and chair may contrast on their own, you can bring a sense of cohesion between them by placing similar cushions, blankets, or throws onto them. It maintains contrast while spreading a familiar visual language between them.
