Accent chairs are single seat chairs that create an eye-catching focal point in a room and provide an additional seating option.
They are rarely used as regular seating like traditional chairs – instead, they are used as accent pieces and often have a decorative design that pulls together the look and feel of the decor through their colour, material and shape.
Accent chairs are increasing in popularity and thanks to their versatility, can be added to any room in the home such as the living room, bedroom or home office. They come in a variety of styles and different materials and finishes, in fact just about any design that can be imagined, so work well in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
As upholstery experts, we love upholstered dining chairs. They elevate comfort and bring added warmth, colour and texture to your dining room. The choice does however raise cost. So, if your budget is limited, we would recommend non-upholstered designs. If you have young children and pets, these chairs are easier to maintain as well, although our high-performance treated fabrics make cleaning up spills a breeze.
DID YOU KNOW: Our upholstered chairs can be ordered from our full range of 100+ fabrics and leathers and be customised to your exact needs. Explore our customisation concept here.
Dining chairs come in a myriad of leg designs. From substantial wooden to slim-line metal. From conventional 4-leg to gravity-defying cantilevers. A good starting point is to choose a leg form that compliments your table’s. And if your chairs and table include the same materials types, make sure they match. For example, avoid pairing dark wood chair legs with a blond wood table top.
If your table has a statement pedestal base, don’t hide it behind bulky chair legs. Give it the attention it deserves and choose minimal legs in a dark tone.
TIP: Need to store some chairs away? Choose a stackable design.
Armchairs are great for ramping up comfort and often give dining rooms a more formal and dramatic feel. They also make leaving the table easier for the elderly or those with back issues. Armrest designs are often wider than armless alternatives, so double check your seat spacing. And do check the armrest height: too tall and your chair won’t tuck in under your table top.
TIP: An easy design trick for rectangular tables – choose an armrest design for the table heads, and the same chair without armrests for the lengths.
The backrest is very much a defining element of your chair and the dining environment it helps form. For a rather formal expression, choose a sleek and tall design, and double-down on the aesthetic with luxurious leather. To give your space a more relaxed feel, go for welcoming organic curves like those of our bestseller, the Adelaide chair. Or create a striking counterbalance to a clean, pared-down table with a sculptural form like the Ottawa chair by Karim Rashid.
For a relaxed and communal setup, you could consider a bench. They’re great for squeezing guests in for big get-togethers. And can live a second life when stood against a large wall. Our London bench can be tailored to your exact needs. Shelf or no shelf? Upholstered cushion or non-upholstered seat. Back rest or no backrest? The choice is yours.
Matching dining chair sets have been the go-to for centuries. When done right, the look is effortlessly elegant and harmonious. But in recent years, more of us are breaking the rule and mixing designs. An easy way into the trend is to work with two sets. So, on a square table, you would place one set of chairs at opposing sides, and another set at the remaining. For even more individuality, play with different designs all round in a range of complementary colours.
TIP: The fully mixed look is tricky to pull off. Speak to our Interior Designers for help.
