Placement tips
Consider the following tips when choosing and placing your accent chairs.
Accent chairs are ideal for reading, relaxing, and studying. However, because chairs are not suitable for seating in front of small tables (especially when eating), you may want to place them against the wall or attach one to a desk in a reading area rather than positioning it near a bar table. This will avoid accidents such as bumping into the table and spilling food and drink.
The most effective way to arrange your chairs is as a group of two or more, but this doesn’t mean that you should keep multiples of the same chair. For example, two loveseats would be an ideal choice if you want to make a cozy spot for two people to cuddle up.
Most chairs are designed with a rectangular backrest and rounded arms, but some are square or oval. Arrange your chairs according to the style and comfort they will offer. For example, multi-seating groupings generally require chairs with arms so that people can lean back during conversations without getting their backsides dirty from the floor even if it is covered by a rug.
They are designed to give a pop of color to any room. However, it is best to place them so that they don’t have direct contact with a wall or else you may lose some of their vibrancy in the room.
