Traditional Accent Chairs
One of the best ways to add interest to virtually any room in your home is by adding an antique accent chair. These traditional accent chairs are especially pleasing to the eye because of their unique profiles and classical sensibilities; they draw your gaze to a focal point in the room which in turn enhances the surrounding setting. These chairs go great in the corner of a master bedroom, opposite the bed, or as a pair flanking the fireplace or an antique coffee table in the living room. One or two properly placed traditional accent chairs can transform an entire room and add functional seating while also creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for you and your house guests.
The first step in adding an accent piece to your home is to determine the style and functionality that will suit you best. Are you tight on space? Is comfort more important or style more important? Do you prefer traditional upholstery or a classic, but updated look? Small living room and bedroom spaces can benefit from armless chairs (sometimes referred to as side chairs). If comfort is your main goal then go with something that not only has an upholstered seat, but also an upholstered back like our Victorian Spoon-back Armchair; the coil spring seat cushion is tremendously comfortable while the tufted backrest offers visual interest and additional back support. Lastly, choose your fabrics wisely. Patterned damasks and jacquards are classic and will always look stunning in a traditional home, but if you want a more modern or contemporary vibe go with a colorful textured fabric like our designer soft knits.
