Accent furniture complements your current decor while adding some personality. Pieces like smaller tables, rugs, and chairs give you a chance to experiment with textures, colors, and shapes. Choosing these pieces can be a delicate balance, however. You want accent furniture to “pop” and draw your eye in when first entering a room. What you don’t want, though, are pieces that overwhelm or dominate a room. Choosing accent furniture for your living room and throughout your home can be a little overwhelming, so we’re sharing some of our tips with you.<\/p>\n
Your foyer or entryway is the first impression visitors have when coming to your home. But often, these rooms are small and cramped. An accent table in a cheery, welcoming color will brighten up this area. Because this is a room that people only pass through, feel free to go bold with colors. Consider hues like Pantone’s Lime Punch<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0Glistening Grape<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Accent tables are versatile pieces that can be placed in any room, including your living room and dining room. If you don’t want a bold color in these areas, consider tables with interesting geometrical shapes, intricate carvings, or metal finishes. Wherever you place your accent table, you can stylize with small lamps, a stack of your favorite books, old family photos, or a bowl to hold odds-and-ends.<\/p>\n Accent rugs can make as much of an impression as any piece of furniture. Choosing the correct size\u00a0accent rug<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for your living room can be confusing, but there are a couple of tips to make the process easier.<\/p>\n The most common mistake people make is buying too small of an accent rug for their room. First, consider where you want the rug and what furniture will be placed on it. In the living room, this is often a coffee table, sofa, and a chair or two. A rug should be large enough to accommodate the pieces with a few inches to spare on all sides. When placed this way, accent rugs create a cohesive seating area. If you do want a smaller rug, buy one that will fit just your coffee table and fill in any empty space between the table and your sofa.<\/p>\n Accent chairs are practical because they not only add interest, but they give you an extra seat for when you have guests. Your first consideration in choosing any chair is comfort. Once you find a chair that you can curl up in, consider lush fabrics and interesting designs. In your living room, accent chairs can also give a facelift to empty or odd shaped corners. Add a chair, an ottoman and a floor lamp, and you’ve created a cozy reading area out of dead space.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for a retro twist,\u00a0rattan and wicker have made a serious comeback<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>this year. But remember how uncomfortable these wooden chairs can be? You can go with this look and not sacrifice comfort by choosing a chair that has a rattan or wicker frame and soft fabric cushions.<\/p>\n In your bedroom, an accent chair creates a private place to sit and relax at the end of a long day. Keep the color soft and muted, but feel free to look for interesting lines and rich patterns in subtle hues.<\/p>\n The right accent pieces pull together your decor and make your place feel like home.
