Accent chairs are those one-offs that may not be part of your suite, but still have a special place in your home. Placed next to the bookcase they can be your own special ‘reading chair’, or simply positioned by your patio windows so that you can relax on rainy days and watch the garden grow while you sip a cup of tea. From retro ‘70s design icons to classical, ultra-modern to totally traditional, our accent chairs come in a huge range of styles.
- Leather or fabric? Choosing the right kind of cover will make a big difference to the impact your accent chair has on your interior design. A bold pattern such as the wonderfully traditional Brielle Wingback chair is a real statement piece that looks fabulous in a conservatory, while the pure Art Deco leather stylings of the Metropole Leather Chair are just right for a library or study.
- Accent chairs can be used outside as well as indoors. The Cooper Armless Channel Chair is an ultra-modern design that is a perfect patio relaxer, while the Maluku Natural Rattan Dining Side Chair can double up as an outdoor chair for those big family barbeques.
- Accent chairs can be quirky too. The unusual Payton Black and Natural Cane Rocker not only features a splayed cane back, but also has metal rockers making it a great nursery chair for new mums. Alternatively, the utterly retro Elin Circle Chair captures that 1970s chic with a vintage style fabric cover.
- Consider your surroundings when choosing an accent chair, and decide just how much of a presence you want it to have within the structure of your interior design. If you prefer something a little muted then choose lighter fabric styles that can be accented with back throws or colourful cushions.
Retro or modern, classic or quirky, there is a huge selection of accent chairs on offer that can be used in any room in the house.
