How to Style an Accent Chair Like a Pro

An accent chair isn’t just another piece of furniture—it’s a design powerhouse. Whether you love bold and eclectic or soft and serene, the right styling makes it the star of your space.

1. Pick the Perfect Chair

Before we style it, you need the one. Are you after a bold, look-at-me moment, or something more subtle to complement your vibe? Go for interesting shapes, unique fabrics, or a fun pop of color that makes your space sing.

2. Find Its Sweet Spot

An accent chair should feel just right in your space—not like it's crashing the party. Try placing it next to a window for the ultimate reading nook, tucking it in an empty corner for balance, or letting it cozy up to your sofa for extra seating (and extra style points).

3. Layer Like a Pro

Your chair deserves the VIP treatment. Add a textured throw blanket casually draped over the arm, or toss on a stylish pillow for a little extra flair. Mixing textures—think velvet, linen, or faux fur—creates depth and makes your chair beg to be sat in.

4. Side Table = Must-Have

A cute little side table next to your chair isn’t just functional—it’s a design moment. It's the perfect place for your coffee cup, a chic candle, or that book you totally intend to finish.

5. Ground It with a Rug

A rug under your accent chair helps define the space and pulls the whole look together. Whether you go bold or neutral, it’s like the finishing touch that makes everything feel intentional and oh-so-stylish.

6. Add Your Personal Touch

Here’s where the magic happens—you. Style your chair with pieces that scream you, whether it's a cool sculpture, a stack of your favorite design books, or a funky floor lamp that makes a statement. The goal? A space that feels effortless, stylish, and 100% yours.
