Unlike the accent wall, which usually just makes a room look unfinished, an accent chair is the perfect finishing touch. It can bring color, pattern, and playful shapes into a room in a more low-commitment way than a couch. Yes, I know patterned couches are having a moment, and my TBC carts are filled with options that I am not quite ready to click “buy” just yet. But an accent chair? More affordable, more flexible – that I can commit to.
And not all accent chairs have to make an accent with color or pattern, the materials can be what makes it more of a feature in the room. There's a reason neutral-lovers were so obsessed with a bouclé accent chair; it added an accent without needing to be bold. Stylistic differences aside, all accent chairs share one common trait – they have the potential to redefine a room without committing to a huge new piece of furniture.
