Shop Houzz: Our Most Popular Accent Chairs (64 photos)

The Club Chair

The club chair was created in France, where it is called the fauteuil confortable, or “comfortable chair.” It comes in many silhouettes, styles and materials, from warm leather with a distinctive nailhead trim to patterned upholstery with tufted details.

The Occasional Chair

The basic appeal of the occasional chair is that it can be easily moved where needed. Typically lightweight, occasional chairs vary greatly in style: tufted French country options, low-back corner chairs, leatherette seats with collapsible bases and so on.

The Wingback Chair

With its signature winged sides and tall back, the wingback chair helps protect your head and torso from drafts. It also provides a warm and portrait-worthy place to sit when placed in front of a fireplace. Wingbacks come in countless versions, from traditional and modern leather and upholstered styles to contemporary transparent ones.

The Showstoppers

For an accent chair that packs some extra pizazz, you can’t go wrong with the iconic midcentury styles by the masters, like Eames, Wegner, Olsen and Jacobsen. You can also add some drama with eclectic head-turning pieces: Consider the Philippe Starck Mademoiselle chair, a seat covered with textile flowers, a silhouette fit for a queen and more.
