Accent Chairs

Z Gallerie accent chairs are designed to be the sculptural piece that gives a room its personality. The collection spans curved swivel silhouettes, tufted velvet armchairs, slim modern frames, and statement-making bolder shapes in velvet, performance fabric, boucle, and leather.

Place one beside a sofa to break up matching upholstery, anchor an empty corner with a sculptural shape, or pair two by a fireplace to create a conversation area. An accent chair is often the piece that lifts a room from finished to genuinely designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do accent chairs work best in a room?▼

Beside a sofa to break up matching upholstery, anchoring an empty corner, flanking a fireplace in pairs, or tucked into a bedroom or office as a reading chair. The point is contrast: choose a shape, fabric, or color that's different from the surrounding seating.

How do I choose an accent chair that works with my sofa?▼

Pick a chair with a different shape and fabric than the sofa, but in a complementary color family. A boucle swivel chair pairs well with a velvet sofa; a tufted armchair contrasts a clean-lined sectional. Vary at least one element so the chair stands out as an accent.

What's the difference between a swivel and a stationary accent chair?▼

A swivel chair rotates on a base, which makes it easier to face different parts of an open-concept room without rearranging. A stationary chair holds one position, which gives it a more anchored, sculptural feel. Swivels work in active living spaces; stationary suits more formal rooms.

What materials do Z Gallerie accent chairs come in?▼

Upholstery options include velvet, easy-care performance fabric, boucle, and leather. Frames span exposed metal, wood, and fully upholstered designs. Many styles are also available made-to-order in your choice of fabric.

How do I keep an upholstered accent chair looking new?▼

Vacuum the seat and cushions with an upholstery attachment and rotate cushions where possible so they wear evenly. Blot spills right away rather than rubbing. Check the fabric's cleaning code in the product details, since velvet, boucle, and performance fabrics each clean differently.
