How To Pick Out Accent Furniture for Your Home

Whether you’ve just moved into a new home, or are redecorating or remodeling, you may want to search out decorating tips or design inspiration. When choosing accent furniture for your home, there are a few different things you should consider to make sure you’re choosing pieces that you’ll love for years to come:

Consider Who Will be Using the Furniture

The style of accent furniture you choose will depend primarily on who will be using it from day to day. If you’re picking out dining room chairs that will only be used when company comes over, you may not worry about how comfortable they would feel to sit in for hours on end. But if you’re choosing accent chairs or sofa chairs that will be in your family room or living room and will be used every day by family and guests, the comfort of the chair will be more important than its overall style. 

Try to Complement Your Existing Color or Design Scheme

Your accent furniture should complement your home’s existing color and design scheme. Choose fabric or upholstery that has at least one color in common with the decor in the rest of the room it will be in. If your living room is decorated in a modern or minimalist style, you may not want to add in antique accent furniture. If you’re unsure about how to complement your existing aesthetic, just remember that simpler is better. 

Choose the Right Fabric or Upholstery

Another key consideration for accent furniture is its fabric or upholstery. If you have pets or children, you’ll want upholstery that’s easy to clean, stain-resistant, and in a darker color that won’t show stains or spills. If your living room has heavy, floral curtains or busy wallpaper, you may not want to choose accent furniture upholstered in a busy pattern or design.
