I love searching for interesting accent chairs for spaces. Whether single or in a pair, an accent chair is a great way to bring color and interest to a room. An interesting shape or unexpected color adds a unique layer to the room as a whole, especially with a vintage chair that shows a little age or details from a different era.

Golden Yellow Armless Chair - $241.99 »
Some rooms are just begging for a shot of yellow. The neutral shape keeps the color from feeling too bold and lets it fit into any style of room.

Brighton Chair — Ingrid Palampore - $399.00 »
You can't go wrong with a sweet little slipper chair in a Chinoiserie style fabric. This brings a pretty feminine touch. Add a dark pillow to counter it a little.

Pair of Petite Bedroom Chairs Detail - $2,400.00 »
I'm dying over the bullion fringe trim on these lovely ladies. Despite being "bedroom" chairs I think they could also be in a living room or sitting room.

Emperor Armchair - $695.00 »
This could work as captain chairs in a dining room or flanking a console table. The wood is unfinished and so pretty. It would add a natural contrast to a slick and modern table.

Cowhide Wingback Chair - $3,499.00 »
Cowhide isn't for everyone, but it can be incredibly versatile and mix with very modern design or more rustic spaces. Don't limit it to the hunting lodge!

Faux bamboo Accent Chair - $499.91 »
Faux bamboo is becoming a classic accent piece. Pair with a table or desk, or just tuck it into a corner. I'd update the fabric to coordinate with the room.

Gabrielle Armchair - $699.00 »
Not quite a wingback, not quite a slipper chair, just a beautiful curvy chair. Bedroom material for sure.

Add a modern touch to any space. It's best paired with something with a bit of weight, like a desk or chunky round side table.

Vintage Lucite Tub Chairs - $2,800.00 »
These are awesome! I like the ikat cushions, but I'd maybe have them redone in a fuchsia silk.

Antique Leather Dining Chair - $395.00 »
Designer Windsor Smith likes to tuck unique chairs like this one into the corner as extra seating and a conversation piece. The woodwork detail is beautiful and it adds an interesting layer to the room.

Clarke Chair - $2,495.00 »
Beautiful leather with Parsons-style arms. I'd pop a couple of these into a modern man cave and maybe add an orange throw over the arm.

Liza Armless Chair Detail - $2,650.00 »
Ikat may be on its way "out" for now, but this is a pretty version of it and in a great shade of blue. The bonus is that this chair actually looks comfortable!
