Have you decided to give up a boring set in favor of a bright chair that attracts attention? You have good taste: such solutions are now in trend and are widely used by designers. We tell you how to choose such a chair.
We decide on the functionality
However, an armchair in the interior is needed not only for beauty, so when searching for the ideal model, we advise you to start with the functional tasks that it will perform. For example, you have nowhere to seat a guest who has dropped in for tea. This means that you can not bother with the degree of hardness of the seat and focus on spectacular upholstery. It is another matter if you take the chair to the reading corner: in this case, you cannot ignore the seat depth, the height of the back, and the quality of the filler, and ideally look for a chair complete with a soft footrest.

We select the design and size
An accent chair does not necessarily have to be large: ideally, the size of the piece of furniture should be suggested by the proportions of the room. For example, in a small room with low ceilings, the iconic Egg will look bulky, but a low chair or a bean bag chair is an ideal choice for such a room. By the way, to imagine how much space the chair you like will take up, designers advise making an approximate model of it – for example, from shoe boxes. As for design and style, it is optimal to play on contrast: for example, if the furniture in the room is low and in a modern style, it will be perfectly complemented by a classic chair with a high back and cabriole legs.
Let’s try on the color
Monochrome furniture suits armchairs with patterns or ornaments (of course, provided that their palettes overlap). The opposite scheme also works a printed sofa + a monochromatic armchair in an active shade. However, if you are not a fan of prints, you can choose the color of your accent armchair based on the principle of opposite shades of the Itten color wheel (red – green, yellow – blue) or by the degree of lightness: a dark armchair will stand out against the background of light furniture and decoration – and vice versa.
Selecting materials
Here are some popular solutions from designers:
- against the background of furniture made of matte fabrics (cotton, linen, wool), armchairs made of fabrics with shine (silk, velvet, velour) will stand out beautifully;
- in Scandinavian interiors, armchairs upholstered in smooth leather, fluffy fur, or fashionable bouclé look great;
- chairs made of artificially aged, rough leather look good in loft interiors;
- If the sofa in the living room is a classic Chesterfield model, your choice is an English plaid chair.
Connecting the chair with the environment
So, the armchair has been chosen and has taken the leading place in the interior. All that remains is to add accessories so that the interior looks more complete. Throw a pillow or a blanket on it in the color of the sofa or curtains, or vice versa – complement the sofa and other armchairs with decorative textiles in the shade of the armchair upholstery. Another option: you can put a vase, a painting and even a couple of books with spines in the same color as the armchair on the coffee table. Done!
