Dark Blue and Black for a Bold Look

A dark blue or black accent chair provides that perfect punch of drama in your living room or bedroom. The darker colors create a bold dynamic focal point and highlight the chair as an important design element in the space. Deep blue and black hues provide a stark contrast against lighter walls or furniture, allowing the chair to really stand out and catch the eye.

The rich midnight blues impart a feeling of tranquility and elegance, but the saturation still makes it an edgy choice over lighter blue hues. Navy blue glimmers with hints of green undertones, providing added depth. Classic black exudes modern elegance. The moody midnight tones set against neutrals create an air of upscale sophistication with a hint of mystique. Overall, the inky color choices lend a sense of intrigue while making a strong modern statement.

  • Ottoman or Leg Rest - Allows you to kick up your feet for the ultimate lounging experience. Extendable leg rests provide flexible options.

Placement and Style Tips

To allow your bold blue or black accent chair to really shine, follow these placement and styling tips:

  • Pair it with metallic accents like brass, gold, or silver to really make the chair pop against the glitz. A brass floor lamp or silver tufted bench adds a nice complementary shimmer.
  • Incorporate thickly woven or textured throw blankets in creams or blues on nearby sofas or beds to complement the chair. The mix of textures adds visual interest.
  • Add wood-toned side tables or shelves to balance the darkness of the chair. The richness of wood hues offsets the cooler blue and black tones.
  • Flank the chair with symmetrical, modern floor lamps to emphasize the central focal point. The symmetry draws the eye towards the accent chair.
  • Choose a patterned area rug with shades of blue, gray, and ivory to tie everything together. Chevrons or geometric patterns complement the chair's sleek lines.

    Care and Cleaning

    Proper care is needed to keep your prized blue or black accent chair looking its best:

    • Vacuum or wipe down fabric upholstery weekly to remove dust and debris that can wear down the material over time.
    • Clean woven fabric surfaces with a water-based fabric cleaner for stains. Check labels first and test on inconspicuous spots.
    • Wipe leather chairs down with a soft damp cloth and condition them regularly with leather cleaners to prevent cracking and peeling.
    • Check manufacturer instructions for any specific specialized cleaning recommendations for your particular chair.
    • Steam clean or professionally shampoo upholstery every 1-2 years for a deeper clean or whenever stains occur. This keeps the chair fresh.
    • Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade dark chair colors over time. Place in well-lit indoor areas instead.
    • Rotate the chair occasionally to evenly distribute wear and tear, so it ages gracefully.

    Other Options

    While we've focused on bold navy, midnight blue, and black chairs, consider an accent chair in a striking cobalt or royal blue shade for a refreshing alternative. These brighter blues add pops of fun vibrancy while still making a strong statement.
