In my humble opinion, a living room is nothing without a good accent chair. Not only does it provide extra seating if you have guests over, but it can also tie together the entire theme of your room, while still providing an element of surprise by not fitting exactly in.
When it comes to accent chair ideas, there are no rules, which is why I love them so much, and right now, you can find pretty much every accent chair you desire at Wayfair. If you're looking for an accent chair that's chic and affordable, take a look at my selections below: They run the gamut from luxe velvet furniture to modern farmhouse vibes.
Take a minimalist, neutral living room for example. You could have a similar, mid-century modern accent chair in an unexpected color for a pop, or you could use the same color scheme and go a completely different route with a modern round-back look. No matter which decision you choose to take, however, these Wayfair accent chairs will do just the trick.
