Accent Furniture

When choosing accent furniture, remember to consider the room's scale, the style of the current furniture, and your style. Accent furniture pieces are meant to add small, aesthetic, and functional touches to a space so avoid overwhelming a room with too many furniture pieces. Also consider:

The room's purpose and function. What are all the activities the room will be host to? Which pieces of accent furniture will help to accomplish these activities? Extra seating? Storage? etc.

Measure the space and shape. There may be a lot of accent chairs you'd like to add to your space, but will they fit or will they take up most of the space? Can they sit comfortably in a corner or would you need something rounded? These factors will help you to narrow down your initial selections.

Take note of the room's overall style and colors. One of the main purposes of accent furniture is to add a noticeable contrast. If your furniture and style is black and white minimalist, try a colorful chair or wood accent table.

The number one tip is to use accent furniture to create a focal point in the room.
