If you’re buying some chairs for your living room, consider the intended uses: is this an armchair large enough for sitting with two people, a lounge chair that’s great to read in, an accent chair to add some style, or an armchair suited to two?
Leaning chairs are perfect for extra seating with a stylish touch. Shearling chairs, like this one from Eternity Modern, also make a chic statement.
Lounge Chair

Or choose a lounge chair in a strong colour to make it stand out or a chair with neutral slipcovering to blend in with décor, a rug and accessories.
Refined touches such as stately rolled arms and nailhead trim dress up the look with formal detail, while modern accent chairs boast slimmed-down silhouettes and contemporary finishes that pair beautifully with sofas, loveseats and sectionals.

Slipcovered Accent Chair
