What’s an Accent Chair & Why does Everyone Want Them … Quite simply and Accent Chair is a single seated chair which is typically more substantial in size and design. The fun part … express yourself - Accent chairs are used in many areas of the home to create décor interest- pizzas and the obvious, additional seating. That’s why they’ve are so popular – they add a new look, feel, extra seating, colour and fun to any room. Here are some of the more popular style names, defined on Wikipedia.
Club and or Tub Chair: club chair - a fully upholstered chair having solid sides and a low back and an easy chair having a semicircular back and, with the wings or arms, forming a single upholstered piece.
Slipper Chair: an armless, upholstered chair with short legs so it sits lower to the ground.
Occasional Chair: portable chair that is used less frequently or a chair that's used for additional seating.
Wingback Chair: an easy chair or club chair with "wings" mounted to the back of the chair, typically, but not always, stretching down to the arm rest.
Bergère Chair: an enclosed upholstered French armchair (fauteuil) with an upholstered back and armrests.

What’s your style? Using the definitions you learned, is there a shape that you’re drawn to: modern, traditional, transitional, high or low back, which ‘feel’s most fitting to you?
