How to Choose an Accent Chair
Adding the right accent chair in Ireland can bring personality, colour, and comfort to your space. Here’s how to make the best choice based on colour, placement, and intended use.
1. Choose a Standout Colour
An accent chair should either complement your existing palette or introduce an eye-catching pop. Velvet options like the VL Jude Accent Chair in Green offer rich, statement-making tones. Consider deep blue, burnt orange, or muted pink for diverse design themes.
2. Think About Placement
- Living room: Tuck an accent chair beside the sofa or opposite the TV for balance.
- Bedroom: Place a chair near a window or vanity to create a cosy reading corner.
- Hallways or corners: Accent chairs can fill empty spaces without crowding smaller rooms.
3. Match Use Case and Function
How will the chair be used? Choose based on comfort, style, and durability:
- If you want a compact design with vibrant upholstery, the Jude chair is perfect.
- If you prefer softer texture with subtle colours, consider the Humphrey Accent Chair Light Grey, which blends modern design with comfort. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- For small spaces, look for slim dimensions with solid support and plush cushioning.
4. Style and Cohesion
Ensure your chair fits the room’s style—Scandi minimalism, mid-century, or traditional. Oak legs, gold-tipped frames, or textured fabric can subtly match your existing décor.
The Jude collection offers velvet upholstery on tapered wood legs with gold detailing—ideal for adding a touch of elegance without overpowering the space. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
5. Durability and Care
- Velvet upholstery adds luxury but may require brushing and occasional vacuuming.
- Chenille fabric, as used in the Humphrey chair, offers a soft finish that resists wear and stains.
- Always check whether the accent chair has a sturdy frame and resilient foam for lasting comfort.
