Accent Chairs & Living Room Chairs That Complete Your Space
An accent chair does more than provide extra seating. It brings balance to your living room, adds personality to your décor, and creates a comfortable place to relax, read, or gather with family and friends. Whether you're furnishing a formal sitting room, completing a conversation area, or adding a finishing touch to your living room, Furniture Fair offers a wide selection of accent chairs and living room chairs designed for every style and budget.
Our collection includes fabric and leather chairs, swivel chairs, stationary chairs, chair-and-a-half designs, gliders, rockers, and handcrafted wood accent chairs. From modern silhouettes to timeless classics, you'll find chairs that complement your existing furniture while adding comfort and character to your home.
"One of the biggest mistakes customers make is treating accent chairs as the last piece they choose. We encourage homeowners to think about accent chairs early in the design process because they help balance the room, create better conversation areas, and often become everyone's favorite seat in the house."
David Girten, Store Manager, over 40 years experience
Shop Chairs by Style
Choosing the right chair starts with understanding how you plan to use it. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or everyday seating, Furniture Fair offers styles designed to fit a variety of homes and lifestyles.
Accent Chairs
Accent chairs are the foundation of our collection and one of the easiest ways to refresh a room without replacing all your furniture. They add color, texture, and personality while creating additional seating that feels intentional and inviting. Whether you prefer clean contemporary lines or classic traditional styling, an accent chair can become the finishing touch that brings your room together.
Swivel Chairs
Swivel chairs have become one of today's most popular seating choices because they combine comfort with flexibility. Perfect for open-concept homes, conversation areas, or rooms with multiple focal points, swivel chairs make it easy to turn toward the television, fireplace, or guests without moving the chair itself. Our collection also includes swivel gliders that add a smooth, relaxing motion many homeowners love.
Leather & Fabric Chairs
Fabric chairs offer warmth, softness, and nearly endless design possibilities, making them a favorite for family rooms and casual living spaces. Leather chairs provide timeless appeal, exceptional durability, and a sophisticated look that complements both traditional and contemporary homes. Whether you prefer rich leather or textured upholstery, you'll find options designed to fit your lifestyle. To learn more, read our guide on real leather vs. faux leather upholstery.
Chair-and-a-Half, Gliders & Specialty Chairs
Sometimes one chair simply isn't enough. Chair-and-a-half styles offer extra room to curl up with a book or relax with a child or pet. Glider chairs provide gentle motion that's perfect for quiet evenings, while handcrafted wood accent chairs and select premium designs add distinctive character and craftsmanship to your home.
Where Can You Use an Accent Chair?
Accent chairs aren't just for the living room. Their versatility makes them one of the hardest-working pieces of furniture in the home.
Consider adding an accent chair to:
A living room conversation area
A bedroom reading corner
A home office
A spacious entryway
A sitting room
A finished basement
A walk-in closet or dressing area
A thoughtfully placed chair can transform an unused corner into one of the most comfortable spots in your home. For more ideas, explore our guide on the best room accessories to complete your space.
How to Choose the Right Chair
The best accent chair is one that complements both your room and the way you live. For more tips on choosing furniture that fits your home, see our guide on what is the best couch for you.
When shopping, consider:
Room Size
Choose a chair that's appropriately scaled for the space. A chair should add seating without making the room feel crowded. For help, see our guide on how to measure your home for new furniture.
Comfort
Think about how the chair will be used. Reading, entertaining, and everyday lounging may each call for a different seat depth, back height, or arm style.
Upholstery
Performance fabrics are excellent for busy households, while leather offers long-lasting durability and timeless style.
Coordination
Your accent chair doesn't have to match your sofa exactly, but it should complement the room through color, texture, scale, or design style.
Accent Chair vs. Loveseat
Both provide additional seating, but they serve different purposes.
Choose an accent chair if you:
Want to complete a room with one additional seat.
Need flexibility when arranging furniture.
Want to introduce a bold fabric, texture, or color.
Need seating for a reading nook, office, or bedroom.
Choose a loveseat if you:
Need seating for two people.
Have enough space for a larger furniture piece.
Want to complement an existing sofa with coordinated seating.
Many homeowners combine accent chairs with sofas and loveseats to create balanced, welcoming living spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions About Living Room Chairs
An accent chair is a standalone chair designed to provide additional seating while enhancing the overall style of a room.
Not necessarily. Many designers recommend choosing chairs that coordinate with your sofa through color, material, or style rather than matching perfectly.
Swivel chairs are an excellent choice for open floor plans and conversation areas because they allow you to easily turn toward different parts of the room without moving the chair.
Leather offers durability and classic style, while fabric provides softness and a broader range of colors, textures, and patterns.
Accent chairs work well in living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, reading corners, entryways, and other spaces where additional seating is needed.
