Accent chairs (also known as lounge chairs) play many roles beyond just function in design. They’re used to provide extra seating and can also create a focal point in a room since they typically contrast with a fun pattern or color. You can place accent chairs in a pair or alone, depending on the style of your room. Have fun with them! Remember that accent chairs are bulkier than a regular chair and can be as big as 30" x 30" with the seat height at 15"-18".
