Accent Chairs

An accent chair is a single-seat chair designed to complement your decor. You can use one to provide extra seating, elevate your style, and turn an empty spot into a cozy nook. They commonly go in a living room or bedroom.

Unlike typical chairs, they stand out due to their unique design, color, or material. They are a focal point in any space.

Accent chairs, or armchairs, come in many styles, each offering a unique look and feel.

Here's a breakdown of some popular types:

• Swivel chairs rotate, offering easy movement and versatility. They are perfect for when you need to turn between different focal points.
• Oversized chairs are also called "chair-and-a-half." They are larger than standard chairs, providing ample space and comfort.
• Wingback chairs have high backs and "wings" that extend to the armrests. They add a touch of traditional elegance.
• Modern chairs have clean lines and bold colors. They are perfect for adding a contemporary style to your space.
• Traditional chairs feature rolled arms, cabriole legs, and rich fabrics. They lend a timeless elegance to your living room.
• Barrel chairs are named for their barrel-like shape. They have a rounded back and deep seat.
• Lounge chairs are designed for relaxation. They have reclining backs and extended seats. Shop for recliners here.
• Club chairs have deep seats, rolled arms, and leather upholstery. They offer a masculine and sophisticated look.

Consider your décor and the needs of the room. You can talk to a Slumberland employee for more help with deciding. Or, shop all living room chairs, including recliners, chaises, and more.

A standard-sized chair has a height of 30-34 inches and a depth of 30-36 inches. But these are just guidelines. Measure your furniture and space to narrow your options. The right-sized chair will add balance to your space.

Here are some considerations:

• Height: They can either be lower or taller than your couch, depending on the look you're going for. A chair with a similar height to your sofa creates a cohesive flow. A taller chair adds visual interest and acts as a focal point.
• Depth: Generally, you want a similar or shallower depth to your sofa. It will create a conversational distance when placed opposite your sofa.
• Width: Ensure the chair's width fits your space without overwhelming it. Oversized chairs are great for spacious rooms but might crowd a smaller area. Measure the available space and other furniture to ensure a balanced look.
• Usage: How will the chair be used? A large, cushioned option is ideal for long periods of sitting. A small, upright chair is better for occasional use or guests.

Slumberland carries chairs that range from $100 to over $1200. The cost varied depending on the material and features. Consider your budget to help narrow your decision.

The most comfortable material depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle. We carry a wide range of upholstery options.

Here are considerations for each material:

• Fabric: A fabric chair, including cotton and linen, is soft and inviting. It also comes in many colors, patterns, and textures.
• Faux Leather: Faux leather is a budget-friendly alternative to genuine leather. It offers a luxurious look for a fraction of the cost. It is also easier to maintain and more stain-resistant.
• Microfiber: Microfiber is a very soft, synthetic material that is durable and stain-resistant. It fits best in high-traffic areas.
• Leather: A genuine leather accent chair is elegant and durable. It develops a beautiful patina over time, is easy to clean, and is stain-resistant. Leather generally becomes softer over time.
• Vinyl: Vinyl is a cost-effective alternative to leather. It is known for its affordability, durability, and waterproofing. But, it is not as breathable as other materials and can feel cold.

We recommend you visit a Slumberland near you to feel the difference in materials. To add to the comfort, you can always add a throw pillow, blanket, or ottoman.

Here are some tips for the most impact and comfort:

Living Room:

• Next to a sofa: Create more seating, conversation, and balance. You can also add an ottoman for somewhere to put your feet up.
• In an empty corner: Transform an unused space into a cozy reading nook with a side table and floor lamp.
• Across from another chair: Create a cozy conversational area with a coffee table between two chairs.
• Opposite a fireplace or window: Define a separate space to relax and read a good book.

Bedroom:

• At the foot of a bed: Add a touch of elegance and a convenient spot to unwind.
• In a corner: A corner placement can create a quiet reading nook.
• Near a vanity or desk: Add functionality to the space by providing a seat for grooming or work tasks.

Your goal with placement is to enhance both the look and functionality.

The perfect side chair balances style, comfort, and functionality. Here are some key considerations:

Define your budget

• Set a budget for how much you want to spend. It will reduce your options and prevent disappointment.

Determine the purpose

• Decide how you plan to use the chair. Will it be for occasional seating, a reading nook, or purely decorative? The chair's purpose will influence the size, shape, and material. Swivel chairs, for instance, add flexibility to open floor plans.

Consider your style

• Do you want your armchair to match or contrast your existing furniture? Consider your current style, like modern, traditional, or contemporary. But don't be afraid to mix and match! A modern accent chair can add a touch of personality to a traditional living room.

Test the comfort

• If you plan to use the chair for extra seating, test different depths, heights, and cushioning. A deeper seat is better for lounging. A shallower seat is better for sitting upright. High-back chairs provide more support. Lower-back chairs can be more casual.

Choose the right material

• Fabric is soft. Leather is timelessly elegant. Microfiber is known for its durability and ease of cleaning. Choose a material that suits your preferences and needs. Opt for easier-to-clean materials like vinyl for high-traffic areas and busy homes.

Consider size and proportions

• Measure the area to determine the appropriate size. You want a chair that allows traffic to flow through the room.

Try before you buy

• Visit your local Slumberland and test the chair before purchasing. Consider the comfort, color, and fabric. When in doubt, you have a set period to return the chair once you bring it home.

Yes, you can reupholster armchairs and accent chairs! Reupholstering is a great way to revive a tired-looking chair, update its style, and save money.

But, reupholstering a chair can be a challenging task, especially for beginners. It requires specific tools, materials, and upholstery skills. If you're handy and enjoy DIY projects, reupholstering a chair can be rewarding.
