ACCENT CHAIRS THAT MAKE A STATEMENT: ADD PERSONALITY TO YOUR LIVING ROOM
Pairing practicality with personality, accent chairs help you finesse your seating arrangements and define your style story. You can always be bolder with your choices when you select accent chairs for a living room, using them to inject a concentrated hit of character that makes a statement without overwhelming the space.
CB2’s furniture consistently delivers on style, so learn how to harness our high-design accent chairs to breathe new life into your living room.
Enhance your interiors
Living room chairs can be used to fine-tune your interior design scheme. In minimalist spaces, accentuate the aesthetic by styling with modern accent chairs boasting simple, clean lines. These pared-back spaces are also the ideal canvas for an unexpected pop of colour, such as a green accent chair or a retro or sculptural armchair that can act as a focal point.
If your living room is a Scandi or Japandi-inspired haven, consider neutral colour palettes, natural materials like cotton, and overstuffed designs when choosing an accent chair to nurture the airy comfort of these popular schemes.
Add personality
If your living room is missing a little something, a well-chosen accent chair can add that dash of design magic that instantly lifts the space. A couple of chic white armchairs can pull together a cool, edgy urban space, while a top-grade leather armchair can confidently infuse sophistication into your living room.
Accent chairs offer the perfect opportunity to play with colour, print, and texture. CB2’s selection of accent chairs features a range of contemporary shades, including bouclé, corduroy, leather, shearling, suede, and velvet, helping you add dimension to your living room.
Defining a space
Armchairs for living rooms offer superb functionality. Beyond being a comfortable spot to sit, they serve to define individual zones in your living room. For example, a lovely, deep leather armchair next to a floor lamp can create a snug reading nook, while a couple of armchairs styled around an accent table curate an intimate spot to chat over coffee.
If you have a work desk in your living room, help it blend seamlessly into the space by choosing an attractive accent chair in place of a traditional desk chair.
Prioritise practicality
If you're furnishing a bijou space, accent chairs are a dream. Armless designs and low profiles provide additional seating that won't overcrowd, allowing you to pair an armchair with a pouffe or ottoman for space-saving lounging.
For larger living rooms, you can place accent chairs at the ends of a sofa or sectional to anchor the arrangement and create a layout better suited to conversation. In sweeping spaces, use a statement piece to fill distracting visual gaps in corners or between larger items of living room furniture.
Family homes will benefit from CB2's collection of durable materials, including easy-to-clean leather that softens with use and performance fabrics that can be spot-cleaned when inevitable spills and sticky fingerprints arise.
