Colorful accent chairs are an easy way to update and invigorate your space. In the world of today, they are making waves in decor, and it’s pretty obvious why they are so popular. So, if you find yourself boxed into a too-neutral color palette and you are becoming a bit bored by it but you still don’t feel ready to make a huge change to the interior design of the room, add an accent chair for more color or focus.
The great thing about accent armchairs is that they can turn your color palette around instantly. Therefore, by having a new accent chair color in place, you can freely add a few decorative accessories in the same hue to give your space that elusive put-together look. Here are some awesome contemporary armchair design varieties.
Barrel chair
The low, chic and comfortable profile along with the fully curved backrest make this chair the perfect piece if you want to create a more luxurious feel in the room. Its design makes it the perfect addition to your living room but you can also put it in the bedroom. Pair a couple of these to create a comfy seating area whenever your friends come over.
Wing chair
Cozy up by the fire with a cup of tea and read a book while sinking in the layers of this awesome contemporary armchair design. It features sheltering “wings” at the top and a high backrest with arms which make it that much cozier. You can use a couple of these beauties to balance the scale of a large sectional sofa. Today you can find this timeless classic in more modern versions and choose the one that suits your interior best.
Statement chair
As its name implies, this type of chair usually comes with a strong silhouette and a bold colour and oftentimes unique pattern. It leaves a rather strong impact on the overall design of the room, so be careful when combining it with other pieces. So, where to place this piece of furniture for the ultimate dramatic statement? In front of the window or in an entrance hall.
Swivel chair
Regardless whether it is an upholstered armchair or a desk chair, this one is the ideal type for spots where you need more comfort. For instance, you can place it in your living room and spend hours chilling in it watching TV. You can even move it from your home office to the family room if you need an extra seat. It is the ideal choice for a pop of colour in a small space as it has a double role acting both as a functional piece of furniture and a decor element.
Slipper chair
This is an armless model that can easily fit in any small space. You can usually see them in bedrooms as its minimalistic design is great for “slipping” on your shoes without taking up too much space. However, it can also be used in literally any room in your home. Since these chairs have no arms they take up a less visual space so you can freely use them in smaller spaces.
