A chair can often be the finishing touch in your living space, and while it doesn't have to match your existing furniture, it should complement the space, fit well and of course, be comfortable! You'll want to consider the following when choosing your chair.
Measuring is a Must: A chair that's too large can overwhelm your room, while one that's too small may feel out of place. Be sure to measure your space and check this against the dimensions of the chair to ensure the perfect fit and flow. Remember to factor in a footstool to your measurements, in case you decide to add one in the future.
Material Matters: The material you choose will not only affect the look of your chair, but how practical it is too. Leather and fabric are great low-maintenance finishes for busy households where spills are expected, while velvet and boucle are pefect for a super-soft and cosy feel.
Pick for Purpose: Consider how you'd like to use the chair. For occasional use or making a statement, style takes the lead with accent chairs being the perfect option. In need of a go to space for reading or relaxing? Armchairs and recliners are best, where comfort comes first.
Make it a Match: If an accent chair is your thing, most design rules can be ignored, as it's designed to stand out! Looking for something to tie in with your existing furniture? Try to coordinate the tone, texture and finish. Try to match the style too, whether it be traditional, modern or Scandi etc. to ensure a cohesive look and feel.
