Accent Chairs

Accent Chairs

Guaranteed to look stylish next to a velvet footstool or luxe drinks trolley, our accent chairs will add a touch of elegance to any room. The collection uses luxurious materials, as seen with our plush velvet accent chairs, and a selection of colours to create an inviting spot to sit and unwind. No matter which option you choose, though we highly recommend our luxurious vintage cocktail chairs, you’re sure to find one that suits your style.

How to choose an accent chair

Start by considering the purpose of your accent chair. Do you want to use it for extra seating in your living room? Or will you use it mainly to bring style to your space? Accent chairs are a versatile piece of furniture which are great for providing both style and practicality to your space. Make sure you think about the size of your chair too – does it need to be quite petite to slot neatly into a corner? Or do you want it to become a focal point in the room with a large size and bold design?   

What is an accent chair?

You might also have heard the term ‘accent chairs’ when referring to occasional chairs, and this simply means that they have a similar function, serving as bold, standout pieces in the room. Our modernist-inspired, monochromatic Vera Club Chair is a particularly beautiful and bold accent chair with a petite size which will slot neatly into a compact living room. Or our Alpana Mexicana Chair is another good choice for those who are a fan of more colourful designs.    

What is an occasional chair? 

Occasional chairs are designed for a specific purpose such as relaxing or reading, but they are also highly versatile pieces of furniture which work in any space. They usually have a smaller footprint than armchairs, so they are easy to move from room to room.  

What is a cocktail chair?

Like occasional chairs, cocktail chairs were originally named after their purpose which was to provide a comfy yet stylish place to sit at dinner parties when entertaining guests. They are designed to be small and compact, so they can squeeze into tight spaces and be moved around easily. Our Mina Cocktail Chair which is exclusively designed for G&G and upholstered in our traditionally woven Misty fabric is a good example of this.
