The Best Accent Chairs for Your Bedroom

There are few things that can elevate the overall aesthetic of your bedroom. If we’re talking interior design, that might be the choice of cozy pillows and carpets, warm lighting or a good artwork. But if we’re talking about bedroom furniture, more and more people are choosing accent chairs for their bedroom. Let’s explore the topic more to help you understand why an accent chair might be perfect choice for your bedroom.

Benefits of accent chairs in the bedroom

We spend most of our time in our bedrooms. Besides the obvious, our bedrooms serve as a personal retreat where we can unwind and relax. Especially when we tend to spend more time there, investing in an accent chair can bring plenty of benefits. Reading a book or watching tv will be more comfortable with a chair’s proper back support. Rearranging your room’s layout often will be easier, as an accent chair can be moved effortlessly around your space. And the best part? Arranging everyday furniture like accent chairs into your bedroom will add visual interest and depth to the bedroom’s overall aesthetic. 

How to choose a bedroom accent chair?

Size

Now that investing in a bedroom chair sounds promising, let’s figure out the few next steps. Firstly, think about how much free space you have. If you plan a huge overhaul, make sure you can accommodate all the existing furniture. Take into account the size of your new chair. Remember that too big of a chair could easily overwhelm the space. That’s why, if you don’t have much space, think of smaller chairs, like this Teddy Boucle Fabric White Chiara Accent Chair. With a low and rounded back it might be a great addition to your space while not overwhelming it.

Comfort

Adding a chair to your bedroom might serve only aesthetic purposes and that’s completely fine. If so, accent chairs will be perfect. But if you plan on getting more comfortable in your bedroom, you might want to consider chairs with a soft to firm padding and a back support, just like wingback chairs. Today, many wingback chairs offer reclining mechanisms, adding that next level of relaxation. Think of this Velvet Bottle Green Marianna Manual Recliner Wingback Chair. Positioning it in the corner of your room will create a cozy reading nook.

Style

When it comes to matching your chair with furniture you already have, consider keeping it in the same decor style or a very similar colour palette. The best strategy is to allow the new bedroom chair to complement your existing space. If your room is more traditional in style, try adding chairs upholstered in bottle greens, golds or creams. If your bedroom’s style is more minimalistic, think of grey or white chairs. If its more contemporary, consider adding a touch of colour by incorporating accents of emerald greens, deep reds or muted yellows. 

Where should a chair go in a bedroom?

In a corner

Perhaps the best place to position your accent chair in a bedroom would be the corner. It would visually „soften” edges of the corner while making the whole area more cosy. Corners are also perfect if you always wanted a dedicated reading nook. Think of this Black Patchwork Chesterfield Wingback Chair. Just add a little table or shelf with a small lamp next to the chair, and you’ll turn a boring corner into a perfect reading nook in your own bedroom.

Next to the bed

You might also think about incorporating your bedroom chair right next to your bed. That would enhance the overall style of your bedroom while creating a stylish focal point. Overtime, you can style it with different pillows and blankets, to add a personal touch to your room. It is also believed that placing a chair next to a bed could improve Feng Shui and contribute to the positive energy flow. 

Dressing area

If you plan a vanity area or dressing area in your bedroom, incorporating a stylish chair might take you closer to your goal. Take this Nicci Accent Chair with Footstool for example. Placing it in front of a dresser will not only make your getting ready routine easier, but will add visual interest to your room. With the addition of a footstool, it would offer support for tired legs after a long day.

Popular bedroom chairs

Boucle chairs

When it comes to furniture trends in the past few years, sofas and chairs upholstered in a teddy or boucle fabric have seen the biggest rise in popularity, just like this Teddy Boucle Fabric White Kensington Accent Chair. Its textured, looped fabric will add softness and coziness to any room, while compact size would help to incorporate it in the smallest bedrooms.

Recliners

Recliners were designed with comfort in mind. That’s why they are beneficial for those who enjoy relaxing for a long time with a book or in front of tv. Today, it is possible to find recliner chairs upholstered in a variety of materials, like faux leather, velvet or patchwork, making it easier to find the one that matches your aesthetic and lifestyle.

Chaise lounges

Making a huge comeback in recent years, chaise lounges prove time and again to be a timeless piece of furniture. With their prolonged form, they are perfect for unwinding with a book or taking a nap. If you’re looking for chaise lounges, you might want to think about this Faux Leather Suede Brown Right Hand Facing Monroe Chaise Lounge. It would be perfect for a bedroom, as it takes up less space than traditional sofas. Upholstered in a stylish faux leather suede brown fabric will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.

Summary

Bedrooms are special places in our homes. As we spend more and more time indoors, it might be worth giving these spaces more love and consideration. Incorporating accent chairs and other design elements might not only make them more cosy, but make them truly ours.
