Join us as we share our inspiration on how to style accent chairs and introduce the best bedroom accent chairs from Feather & Black.
Understanding accent chairs
As furniture experts, we are often asked the question, “What are accent chairs?” Far more than just functional or comfortable seating, an accent chair can be an integral element in curating your bedroom décor. The best bedroom accent chairs make a style statement, captivating attention and drawing the eye with unique characteristics, such as beautiful colours, distinctive design or striking fabric finishes.
Accent chairs come in many different sizes, shapes and styles. While selecting the right one can often feel a little overwhelming, it also presents a wonderful opportunity to showcase personality and flair in your interior design. You may prefer a sleek and contemporary finish, a bold and quirky shape or a more traditional, romantic feel. Allow your personal tastes to guide you in finding a beautiful accent chair that brings style, sophistication and character to your bedroom’s aesthetic.
Selecting the right accent chair for your bedroom
Selecting the best accent chair for your bedroom takes thoughtful consideration. The accent chair you choose should, of course, look beautiful, but it must also fit seamlessly with the proportions of the room. It’s essential to measure the available space in relation to the dimensions of your chosen accent chair, ensuring that it won’t overcrowd the room. A well-placed accent chair should enhance the flow of your bedroom design, rather than hinder it.
Those with a larger bedroom might lean towards a generously sized, armchair-style accent chair, embracing its spaciousness and comfort. For more intimate bedrooms, a neat and compact accent chair design is ideal, adding charm and functionality without overwhelming the décor. Creating a comfortable retreat in your bedroom sanctuary is also paramount. The best bedroom accent chairs offer a cosy place to relax and unwind, so indulge in plush upholstery, sumptuous fabrics and ergonomic design.
How to style accent chairs in your bedroom
While the best bedroom accent chairs can stand alone as a stunning statement piece, their beauty can be enhanced with elegant styling ideas. Follow our expert guidance on how to style accent chairs, finding the inspiration you need to make the most of this striking bedroom feature. Begin by carefully considering the location of your accent chair within the room, perhaps placing it by the window to indulge in soft natural sunlight or tucked into a corner to create a cosy reading nook.
Drape your accent chair with luxurious cushions and a textured throw, effortlessly elevating its comfort for an irresistibly soft and sumptuous feel. Play with a mix of fabrics, patterns and hues to add depth and romance to your accent chair. Whether you prefer bold contrasts or subtle, complementary shades, layering can bring your styling to life. Pair your accent chair with an elegant side table adorned with your favourite books, decorative trinkets and a charming lamp that casts a warm and inviting glow across the space.
Creating a theme with accent chairs
If your bedroom décor is influenced by a specific interior design theme, ensure you select an accent chair that complements the aesthetic – or even becomes the foundational centrepiece around which you style the rest of the room. Allow Feather & Black’s exquisite collection of the best bedroom accent chairs to inspire you in creating a breathtaking bedroom design that’s a true reflection of your personal taste.
