Can an accent chair be taller than a sofa?

Many people associate accent or occasional chairs with smaller, more compact pieces that are designed to sit alongside a larger sofa or sectional. However, it is certainly possible to find an accent chair that is taller in height than the sofa itself. This can provide a unique and interesting aesthetic, allowing you to play with proportions and create an eye-catching look in your living room or family room.

For example, you might choose to pair a short, round accent chair with a tall and sleek leather couch. Or you could choose to use an oversized accent chair as the centre piece of your seating arrangement, placing it opposite a narrow bookcase or another large item.

At the end of the day, there are many ways that you can incorporate an accent chair that is taller than your couch into your home decor. So don't hesitate to be bold and experiment with different looks and styles! After all, when done right, these types of creative pairings can result in a beautiful and dynamic space that is sure to impress.

What is an occasional chair?

An occasional chair is a piece of furniture that is designed to be used in a variety of different settings and circumstances. Unlike regular chairs, which are typically designed for long-term use or for sitting at a table, occasional chairs are versatile enough to serve multiple functions.

They may be used as accent pieces in a room, as extra seating for guests or family members, or simply as convenient places to rest when needed. Because they can be easily moved from one location to another, occasional chairs make it easy to achieve an inviting, functional interior space that meets all your needs.

Whether you are looking for a stylish new statement piece or simply want more comfortable seating options around the house, one of our occasional chairs is sure to fit the bill.

What's the best fabric to use?

Choosing the right fabric for an occasional chair is a matter of both form and function. In terms of form, certain fabrics are more fashionable or stylish than others, so it's important to consider how you want the chair to look. However, from a functional standpoint, not all fabrics are created equal. Some materials may be too thin or light, while others may be too thick and stiff, leaving you feeling uncomfortable or stifled in your chair.

At the end of the day, there is no one-size-fits-all fabric that is perfect for all occasions. Instead, it's important to carefully consider your needs and preferences when choosing a fabric for your chair. Whether you want a sleek, modern look of corduroy like our Savvy Sling Chairs or something softer and more cozy, like velvet. So don't hesitate to do some research, try out different options in person, and explore all of your options until you find the perfect fit or, head in store to try them for yourself!
