How to Choose an Accent Chair With Ottoman
A chair-and-ottoman combination can turn an unused corner of a living room, bedroom or office into a comfortable place to read, relax or watch television. The best set for your space depends on how much room you have, the level of support you prefer and how you plan to use the chair.
Consider the Chair’s Dimensions
Measure the intended location before ordering. Remember to measure not only the width of the chair but also the total floor space required when the ottoman is positioned in front of it. Reclining chairs may require additional clearance behind the backrest.
Choose the Right Upholstery
Velvet creates a soft, decorative appearance, while chenille can provide a cozy textured surface. Fabric is versatile for everyday spaces, while faux leather can deliver a more structured, contemporary appearance and is generally easy to wipe clean.
Swivel vs. Stationary Chairs
A swivel chair can be convenient in an open living space because you can turn toward a television, conversation area or desk without moving the entire chair. Stationary chairs offer a more traditional furniture arrangement and may be preferable when the chair needs to stay aligned with other furniture.
Adjustable and Reclining Designs
If you plan to use your chair for both reading and resting, an adjustable-back model can be particularly useful. An upright position works well for reading, while a more reclined position is better suited to relaxing.
Accent Chair & Ottoman FAQs
What is an accent chair with an ottoman?
It is a standalone upholstered chair paired with a separate footrest. Many sets use matching upholstery so the two pieces appear as one coordinated furniture set.
Is an ottoman worth having with an accent chair?
An ottoman gives you a place to elevate your legs and can make an accent chair more comfortable for reading, watching TV or relaxing. Some ottomans can also function as occasional extra seating.
Where should I put a chair and ottoman?
Popular locations include a living-room corner, beside a bookcase, near a bedroom window, inside a home office or in a dedicated reading nook.
Are swivel accent chairs good for living rooms?
They can work especially well in rooms with several focal points because the chair can rotate toward conversations, windows or entertainment areas.
What should I measure before buying?
Measure the chair width, depth and height as well as the available floor area for the ottoman. For reclining models, allow enough room for the backrest to move.
