Very often, accent chairs take on a supporting role to other, more substantial pieces of furniture like sofas and entertainment consoles, which can easily dominate a room's visuals. Ample, stylish, and comfortable seating options are a must, and accent chairs often offer comfortable and versatile seats in the house. Not only that, accent chairs are often one of the most affordable, high-impact pieces you can add to a room to immediately dictate or change its style and design direction.
