20 Fun Accent Living Room Chairs
Accent chairs are chairs that are placed strategically in a room to provide additional seating. There are two approaches to making use of an accent chair. One approach is to place the chair in a position that complements or accents the colors and textures of larger pieces, such as a sofa. A second approach to the use of an accent chair is to create a secondary seating area within the room.
An accent chair can come in just about any design that can be imagined. The chair may be a simple straight-back chair with arms, such as a rocking chair. An accent chair can also be a larger piece, such as a chaise lounge. The idea is to have the chairs work in conjunction with the rest of the furniture in the room so the overall look is harmonious even while the space is given an additional purpose or function. Check out the list below.

A good example of the use of an accent chair would be in a large living room. A main conversation area may be grouped around a focal point, such as a fireplace. However, it may be practical as well as attractive to create a secondary seating area for reading or other purposes. This is where the concept of an accent chair comes into the picture. Other type of accent furniture can work for the living rooms too.
