An accent chair is a stylish and functional piece of furniture that serves as a decorative element in any room. It can enhance the overall design or provide a contrasting touch to your existing décor. Accent chairs come in various styles, including armchairs for comfort, swivel chairs for versatility, and barrel chairs for a cozy feel. 

When selecting an accent chair, consider the following factors to find the perfect match for your space:

• Style: Choose an accent chair that complements the room's existing furniture and décor style. A modern-style accent chair is suitable for most contemporary spaces.
• Size and scale: Ensure the accent chair fits well in the designated area without overwhelming the space. Measure the room and consider other furniture dimensions to maintain balance.
• Comfort: Look for features like armrests, cushioned seats, and supportive backrests. If the accent chair will be used for reading or relaxing, prioritize comfort.
• Material and color: Select materials that suit your lifestyle, such as leather for easy cleaning or fabric for a cozier feel. Color is also crucial—choose a hue that either blends with or stands out from the existing color palette.

Cleaning an accent chair varies depending on the material:

• Fabric accent chairs: Vacuum regularly to remove dust and dirt. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, use a fabric-safe cleaner.
• Faux and genuine leather accent chairs: Wipe down the surfaces with a damp cloth, and apply a leather conditioner every few months to maintain their look and prevent cracking. A leather armchair benefits greatly from this care.
• Velvet accent chairs: Gently brush the fabric to keep it looking smooth. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and avoid excessive rubbing.
• Cane and wicker accent chairs: Use a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dirt, and avoid soaking these materials. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
• Wood accent chairs: Dust regularly and use a wood cleaner to maintain their finish. A swivel chair with a wood base should be treated with care to ensure longevity.

Swivel chairs are designed to rotate 270 or 360 degrees, providing unparalleled flexibility and convenience. Whether you want to pivot towards a conversation, adjust your view, or simply find a more comfortable position, swivel chairs offer seamless movement and enhanced ergonomics.

• Barrel chairs: Barrel chairs are uniquely designed accent chairs characterized by their rounded backs and arms, which resemble barrels. They provide a comfortable seating choice that blends elegance and coziness, ideal for a range of environments, from living rooms to reading corners.
• Armchair: An armchair, on the other hand, is a standard piece of furniture designed for comfort. It typically has no lifting mechanisms and is primarily used for sitting and relaxing.
