Living Room

When you're looking for the perfect accent chair to complement your living room design, first consider these four things.

  1. The chair's purpose.
  2. Your room's style.
  3. The chair's color and upholstery.
  4. The size of the space.

Bedroom

When shopping for a chair for your bedroom, first determine what role that chair will play. 

  1. Will this chair be only occasionally used, such as sitting on to change clothes?
  2. Are you fitting this chair in a space that will become your favorite relaxation area?
  3. Is this chair solely a visual accent to drape a throw over the back or arm?

How much space will you have for this chair? You need to be able to move comfortably around your room. Measure your space before you shop so you know if you have room for something more luxurious, perhaps something with an ottoman, or if you need something small that can be pushed into the corner.

Kitchen

Buying kitchen chairs takes forethought. Mixing and matching tables and chairs can be more challenging than you think. Kitchen chairs must work with the table, the room, and even the body style of your guests.

Consider your table design when shopping for chairs. A straight angled table with tapered legs may work better with straight-legged chairs with a square or rectangular build. Sinuous leg tables may do better with chairs with swirls in their design or similar leg structure.

How big is your table, and what body style do your guests have? Twenty-two inches is the standard width for an armless dining chair. If your dining table is larger than average, consider going with wider chairs or chairs with arms. Measure your table height and choose chairs that allow a minimum of 12 inches from the top of the seat to the top of the table.

How moveable do your chairs need to be? Young children and the elderly will have a more difficult time moving heavy chairs. If you choose upholstered chairs, make sure they're not too heavy to move in and out.

If you're looking for easy to care for chairs, choose upholstery that's ready for accidents. Leather, Ultrasuede, and cotton blends are easier to clean. Fabrics like chenille and velvet will show wear and be more difficult to clean.

Home Office

Your home office may be where you work to make a living, or it could be as simple as a writing desk for paying bills and writing correspondence. These two situations have very different requirements, and your chair needs are unique for each one.

For a desk or office table that will only be used occasionally, your chair needs stress aesthetics more than functionality. Measure the height of your desk or table and choose a pleasing accent chair or an executive chair that fits comfortably with it and the design flow of your room.
