How to Choose The Right Occasional Chair

Enhance your living space with the timeless charm of accent chairs. No longer just an extra seat, these chairs add depth and character to any room's décor, elevating its overall aesthetic.

Imagine the subtle vibrancy a well-chosen accent chair brings to your neutral-toned haven, like the rattan chairs gracing a corner of your home as our Spain swivel chair would do. But selecting the perfect accent chair isn't just about aesthetics; it's a thoughtful process that considers space, style, and functionality.

Let's delve into the art of choosing the right occasional chair:

1. Functionality: Determine how your chair will be used. Is it primarily for seating or as a decorative piece? Understanding its purpose will guide your selection process.
2. Colour Harmony: While your chair doesn't have to match everything, it should harmonize with your room's colour scheme. Aim for cohesion in both tone and style.
3. Proportional Balance: Ensure your chair complements the scale of your existing furniture. A large couch pairs well with a substantial occasional chair like our Cologne Occasional chair pictured, maintaining visual balance within the space.
   

   

4. Pattern and Texture: Embrace the opportunity to introduce patterns and textures that enhance your room's ambiance. Whether blending seamlessly or making a bold statement, let your chair's design speak volumes.
5. Style Synergy: Strive for synergy between your chair and the room's overall style. Whether it's a classic Hamptons style chair like our Louis armchair or a modern wing-back, let it seamlessly integrate into your design narrative.
