Modern accent chairs add interest to any room. They afford you the chance of adding new touches of shape, texture and color which trick and motivate the eye to move around a space and find it intriguing. Here are some innovative tips on how to pick the right one.

Be flexible. Accent chairs usually serve more than one purpose, so do not shy away from pulling your chaise from the master bedroom to the dining room if you are having a bigger group to join in, and a formal chair like the Admire Office Chair in White by Zuo Modern just might be the perfect thing to accent your hallway.

Consider floor space. Floor space will limit the number of accent chairs that you can put in a room. Ensure that traffic can still comfortably navigate around whoever is seated, keeping in mind those stretched out legs. If you are making a big style statement with these chairs, use only a few of them so they can be the focal point.

Size things up. Taller people  should avoid chairs that are too low to the ground. On the other hand, petite people will not like chairs with deep seat lengths. To allow you to use your accent chairs as extra seating in the dining area, opt for firm and sturdy ones that are of the right height.

Get pairs. Pairs of accent chairs like the “Lady Slipper” Zebra Print Accent Chair by Powell can replace a loveseat or flank an occasion table, creating a space that is both functional and appealing for socializing. Try matching chairs on either side of hall console or fireplace feature.

Go bold. An accent chair also does the job all on its own. An elegant chaise lounge or an quirky chair like the Pup Chair by Zuo Modern is good enough to punch up a room with its color, shape, fabric or shape. An accent chair that boldly embodies the theme of a room can make a stylish and strong focal point.

Tone down. A space that is already bold and bright  can be softened with neutral or pale-colored chair. Oversized furniture can be complemented with a smaller chair for balance as well as to create the illusion of more space.

Factor in arm space. Accent chairs come in various styles.  You need to make sure that you consider the space their arms will need. Check the dimensions using a taped outline or paper cut-out on the floor. Aside from being saving space, armless chairs can also do as double seating.

A separate space. Create a space apart by combining a chair next to a window with a lamp and small table, making a cozy reading nook. Pick a comfortable chair that reclines or one that can be used with an ottoman in an area of your home with low traffic that beckons to be enjoyed.

Consider use. Accent chairs in casual living rooms and recreational rooms are bound to be used frequently, so that should be comfortable enough for extended seating. On the other hand, chairs in bedrooms or hallways can be chosen more for their style.
