Let’s introduce you to the top 10 best accent chairs!

10 Best Accent Chair Styles to Instantly Elevate Your Living Room

Cozy? Lush? Chic? No matter what your style is, we’ve got an accent chair for you.

1. Papasan Chair

One of our absolute favorite accent chairs is the big Papasan chair. It’s a gigantic circular chair, usually made out of sturdy rattan palm, with a big comfy cushion on top of it. And when you see it, you instantly want to curl up in it like a child who is ready to take a nap.

If you’ve got an extra corner or an ample amount of space, we would recommend this chair to add a playful, bohemian vibe to your living room.

2. Arm Chair

Everybody loves a good armchair. They are comfy, they are sturdy, and they are versatile. You simply can’t go wrong with a good armchair.

Also, with the number of colors and styles they come it today, you can be as modern and chic as you like or as cozy and fuzzy as you like. As an added bonus? If it has extra big, plushy arms, another person can sit or lean on the side.

3. Slipper Chair

Imagine an armchair without the arms, now you have a slipper chair. Slipper chairs are designed to help homeowners save space. Without the bulky arms of an armchair, they are great if you have just enough space for a chair. They’ll help you close the awkward gap in the living room and streamline the space by giving it a modern touch.

4. Nest Chair

A nest chair is exactly like it sounds. It looks like a bird’s nest and there are usually two styles. One is made out of rattan, giving it a realistic bird’s nest look and the other is made of upholstery and flexible foam like a regular armchair.

A nest chair is circular at the bottom with semi-circle arms. They are sort of like a cross between the Papasan chair and a traditional armchair.

5. Convertible Chair

A convertible chair is great if you have room for a chair that can extend and spread out. The frames are usually constructed out of sturdy metals that can be easily folded and extended. The back can usually be lowered and the bottom can be stretched out like a lounge chair.

If you like leaning back or lying down on your chairs to watch TV or take naps, then you might like the convertible chairs.

6. Club Chair

The Club chair is a U-shaped chair with a sleek rounded back. If you get one in leather, it oozes style and luxury like the ones found in traditional men’s clubs back in the days.

Today, the club chair can also be found in fabric materials which gives it less bachelor look. If you don’t like having too much fluff but still want a simple, stylish chair, a club chair might be the way to go.

7. Egg Chair

The Egg chair is a classic designer accent chair. It was first designed by the Danish designer, Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for a hotel in Copenhagen. If you have young children or you are a fan of retro styles, you might like the egg chair.

Due to its unusually dome-shaped back, the Egg chair is actually quite difficult to make which makes it more exclusive than most chairs. If you’ve ever sat in one though, you would know they are extremely comfortable and are practically nap-inducing since it shelters the person sitting in it.

8. Side Chair

A side chair is like a slimmer version of the slipper chair. It has no arms and its tiny frame is meant to fit into tiny spaces. They can be used as accent chairs in living rooms, bedrooms, or even the dining room.

Side chairs are extremely versatile and there’s a design for just about every person out there. Buy two for each end of the dining table or keep them around for when you have extra guests.

9. Lounge Chair

We won’t go into details about what a lounge chair is because you’ve probably seen one before. If you’ve got the space, a lounge chair can be an excellent addition to your living room. They are for those who enjoy ultimate relaxation.

Lounge chairs can look casual or formal depending on the type of material it’s made out of. We do have to warn you though if you get this chair, your guests might not want to leave or they’ll fight over it.

10. Wing Chair

Imagine a guy sitting in front of his fireplace, smoking his cigar in his robe–he’s probably sitting on a Wing chair.

Wing chairs make beautiful accent chairs because they are luxurious looking like club chairs, except with “wings” on the side. They are commonly found in old libraries, clubhouses, or mansions. A Wing chair can instantly elevate your space but if you prefer a more casual look, you can also find ones that are less dramatic.

‘Accent’ Doesn’t Mean ‘Distract’!

The last thing we want you to remember when picking out an accent chair is that it should match the rest of your furniture. Sure, an egg chair looks cool but if your room is full of leather, it’s going to look a little bit odd.
