Consider Shape
Depending upon what you are pairing your accent chair with, think of ideas to make it stand out and make a statement for itself. You can introduce a modern or a traditional style. But whatever you choose must sit well with everything else in the room. Don’t try to mix vintage with contemporary; the shape will be so out of shape!

Consider Size
The size of the chair should correspond with the scale of the room, no matter where your chair will be eventually placed, it should be in direct proportion to the room’s size. Ensure the chair’s seat height lies in balance with other seating in the room to create a streamlined visual flow. Too big or small will take the impact out of it, thus defeating the whole purpose!

Mix + Match
Need 2 chairs for the room? How about experimenting a little? Get two different yet similar patterns. Confused? Let the patterns play with one another by mixing two styles that are not identical! You can also try two contrasting colors on the chair and pair it with identical cushions to tie the design together.
