What Is An Accent Chair?

Accent chairs offer contrast and fun to rooms with dominant themes. They deliver a delightful change of pace in your room's design. Choosing one of these is more than just finding functionality and usability; you also choose the aesthetic qualities they communicate. The purpose of these chairs is two-fold: to catch your attention and complement the overall room theme.

Can an accent chair be reupholstered?

Yes! You can reupholster accent chairs with a new set of clean upholstery. The process isn't nearly as complicated as you may imagine it would be, and there are many benefits to doing this over buying a new piece of furniture. You have the option to customize it however you want. From fabrics to leather, you can choose the look and feel of your accent chair.

Can an accent chair be repaired?

Yes, you can repair accent chairs. Depending on the type of damage, your chair may be easy or hard to fix. Simple stitching can fix some upholstery tears and rips. However, you may need to patch it or replace the upholstery altogether if the tears are bad enough.Frame damage, on the other hand, can ruin a chair. Breaking the frame can cause irreparable damage to your chair.

How Do You Pick The Right Size Accent Chair?

It’s essential to consider the size of your space when picking a chair size and who will be using it, and the other furniture in the area. A good rule of thumb is your accent chair should be as tall as your sofa and other chairs in your room. At Bassett, we offer various sizes for your needs, from small to large.

Q: Why Choose An Accent Chair?

Finding furniture items that match each other is a natural way to go about furnishing a room. That's why furniture sets are so popular. The only downside with that approach is that everything tends to look the same. Any interior designer worth their salt will advise you to avoid creating a living space featuring too much of any one thing. If you're furnishing a retail space, a clean, minimalist, monochromatic approach makes sense. But, that's not the case when it comes to your home. Creating elegant living spaces requires warmth, style, and comfort. It also requires an eye for contrast and balance. That's precisely where accent chairs come in handy.

Q: Are Accent Chairs Comfortable?

Exhaustive attention to detail goes into creating our accent chairs. Details play a major role in our commitment to building quality furniture that stands the test of time. From the construction and materials to the careful stitching and manufacturing, we make each chair very carefully. We make all of our accent chairs with an interlocking, solid wood frame design and thicker laminated hardwood. The final result is a finished accent chair that is as durable as it is comfortable, so you can enjoy your accent chair for years to come.

Q: What Material is the Most Comfortable for an Accent Chair?

When picking fabric or leather upholstered accent chairs, it’s important to think about their location and intended purpose. Depending on where you place your accent chair, the level of its use will change. For example, a chair will receive a lot of wear and tear in high traffic areas and heavy use in the family room, living room, or den. If that’s the case and you’re worried about your accent chair’s durability, you might opt for a chair with protective and durable fabric to avoid stains and dirt. However, if you plan on using your accent piece in a low-traffic area like a bedroom or formal space, you can opt for something a bit more elegant to better fit your decor.
