details >Step one of crafting your perfect accent chair involves choosing the right design, the perfect fabric or leather, and, if applicable, the best finish for you. Then, our craftspeople take the lead, pouring our tradition for excellent craftsmanship into building, tailoring, and finishing your dream-chair-come-true.
All of our upholstered chairs are tailored by hand with richly colored fabrics for an exquisite appearance. You can further customize many accent chairs with a variety of tufting options, welting, and nailhead trim for a look that’s unique to you and your home.
Accent chairs have many names—“side chair,” “armchair,” “living room chair,” among others—but those are just a lot of ways to refer to a chair that complements (or “accents”) your other furniture. Some have arms, others don’t; some have high backs, some have low backs. These chairs can come in a variety of leathers, fabrics, patterns, and colors.
Accent chairs or chaises look great in nearly any space, but are a common choice for living rooms, sitting rooms, studies or libraries, or even bedrooms.

Accent chairs come in many shapes and sizes, large and small. We offer small accent chairs in a variety of styles to suit your aesthetic, even in small rooms. In general, you’ll want a foot or two of space in front of your accent chair so you can walk around comfortably.
With all the types of accent chairs there are, you’re sure to find one you love.
Swivel chairs make it easier to face what’s happening—conversation, TV-watching, whatever—without turning your body. Because the chair moves instead of you, you can turn without a second thought. We find that these chairs are of special benefit to people with lower back pain because you don’t have to twist in your seat.
Put a personal spin on your favorite style story with a swivel chair to suit your space. Try out a classic skirted chair in a cozy fabric, a modern barrel chair in rich leather, or a sleek, slim-profile chair that blends into small spaces.
Your accent chair can either match your sofa or stand out in a bold, complementary pattern or hue. As long as the overall vibe of your furniture is harmonious, you can customize each piece to your heart’s content. Here are some ideas:
And don’t forget to finish your space—accent chairs pair well with a small ottoman to use as a footstool or with an accent table for placing drinks, books, and décor.

Our accent chairs are designed with supportive seats to give you the exact amount of comfort you want. We use the same cushions that we use in our world-class sofas, with foams certified through the CertiPUR-US® program for their lasting durability; you can also find other cushion options, like featherblend, in our Design Centers. With the proper care, your accent chair cushions will keep their shape through years of comfortable sitting.
