Tips for Choosing the Perfect Accent Chair Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect armchair for your living room: Measure the available space you have selected to place the chair in your living room. This will ensure you pick an accent chair style that works well within your available square footage. Take pictures of your sofa(s) and main furniture pieces to make sure you select accent chairs that complement and enhance your key furniture items. Think about how you would like to use your occasional chair. Pay particular attention to form and function. Comfort here is just as important as style. Set a budget to help you narrow down your options and effectively manage your resources. Visit furnishings stores both in-person and online to assess your options in the market. Online stores tend to have a much broader range of accent chairs to check out than your local stores that are limited by their square footage. If opting to make an online purchase, read product reviews where available beforehand. Pay attention to the best and worst reviews to better gauge people’s purchase and user experiences.   If you choose to make an in-store purchase, sit on your chosen accent chair model to assess how comfortable and elegant it is. Inquire in-store about the best way to maintain and clean up your chair fabric to maximise its longevity.
