Armchairs & Accent Chairs
Armchairs & Accent Chairs buying guide
Choose an armchair or accent chair that adds useful seating without crowding the room. Compare the chair’s overall footprint, seat proportions, upholstery and frame so it suits both the intended space and the way it will be used.
What to compare before choosing
- Check the footprint: Measure width and depth at the widest points, then allow space around arms, nearby tables and walking routes.
- Compare sitting positions: A deeper seat supports relaxed lounging, while a more upright back can suit reading, conversation or occasional dining.
- Review upholstery care: Look at the listed fabric or leather type and follow the product-specific cleaning guidance.
- Check delivery access: Include the chair back and arms when comparing its dimensions with doorways, stairs and tight corners.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an armchair and an accent chair?
An armchair is defined by its arms, while an accent chair is selected partly for visual impact and may have arms or an armless design.
How much space should I leave around an armchair?
Leave enough room to sit down comfortably and keep the main walkway clear. Include any side table or floor lamp in your floor plan.
Can an accent chair work in a bedroom or office?
Yes. A compact chair can create a reading or dressing area, provided its dimensions and sitting position suit the available space.
