Occasional & Accent Chairs

Accent chairs are designed to stand out as a statement piece in a room, often featuring bold colours, unique upholstery, or eye-catching designs. Occasional chairs, on the other hand, prioritise versatility and can be easily moved around to provide additional seating when needed. Both types add character and functionality to your furniture arrangement.  

Consider the size, shape, and style of the chair in relation to your existing furniture. A well-chosen accent chair should enhance the room without overpowering it. Look for complementary textures and colours that either blend seamlessly or create an intentional contrast. Comfort is also key, so opt for a soft seat that provides both support and relaxation.  

Accent and occasional chairs come in a variety of shapes and styles to suit different interiors. Classic armchairs provide timeless elegance, while slipper chairs offer a sleek, armless design perfect for smaller spaces. High back armchairs create a bold statement with their high backrests, and barrel chairs bring a cosy, curved silhouette. For a modern touch, sculptural chairs with unique forms can add a contemporary edge to your decor.  

Occasional chairs work well in living rooms, bedrooms, and even entryways, offering extra seating without taking up too much space. You can place one in a reading nook with a throw for added comfort and warmth or use a pair to frame a coffee table and create a conversational seating area. Their versatility makes them a great addition to any room.  

When mixing accent chairs with other furniture, consider colours, materials, and styles that create a cohesive look. If you prefer a coordinated design, choose chairs with matching fabric or finishes. For an eclectic approach, mix different shapes and textures while maintaining a common element, such as a shared colour palette or design feature.  

If you're looking for a comfortable chair to rest and relax while still adding interest to your room, our rocking chairs are a great choice. They come with an ottoman, so you can put your feet up and unwind after a long day. With their gentle motion and supportive design, they offer a cosy seating option that feels as relaxing as a chaise or recliner without taking up as much space.
