If you’re looking to refresh your home interiors, investing in one of the best accent chairs could be the little change that makes a world of difference. While stylish accessories like luxury throws or plush rugs make for excellent finishing touches, the impact of an eye-catching accent chair should not be underestimated.
Not only can an accent armchair spice-up your living-space, but it’ll give you a new little nook within your home to just put your feet up on a footstool, pop a cuppa’ on your side table and escape the dreary news headlines with your favourite book, podcast or latest Netflix obsession.
Velvet accent chairs seem to be the most popular choice when it comes to texture, but coming up close in popularity is bouclé – a tufted texture that we’re seeing more and more of in the world of interiors. Likewise, rattan and faux leather are still strong luxe choices, along with linen and cotton – all solid choices if you’re after that effortlessly chic vibe.

We’ve picked out the trendiest chairs available right now, from wingback chairs, recliner chairs, high back chairs, rocking chairs, to leather armchairs, there’s something here to suit everyone.
