Consider the living room's overall function when matching accent chairs to sofas - swivel chairs work well with sectional sofas for flexible conversation areas. Choose chairs that share design elements like similar leg styles or frame shapes but vary in color or pattern for coordinated variety. Ashley offers both swivel chairs and stationary accent chairs that complement their sofa styles while providing functional seating options.

Your accent chair can either match your sofa or stand out in a bold, complementary pattern or hue. As long as the overall vibe of your furniture is harmonious, you can customize each piece to your heart’s content. Here are some ideas:

• An accent chair in a stripe fabric would look great in a country or coastal living room.
• Classic accent chairs are often upholstered in neutral hues, or in black or brown leather.
• Your modern space would be accentuated with a striking chair tailored with a novelty pattern fabric or in white.

And don’t forget to finish your space—accent chairs pair well with a small ottoman to use as a footstool or with an accent table for placing drinks, books, and décor.
