One of the things I love doing while at market is to look at the many variations of accent chairs there are available in the market. Here I have compiled some of my favorites, which consist of all different styles and shapes. The juxtaposition of texture, materials, and even time periods make for fresh looking and appealing products.

| Lexington Home Brands |
Lexington Home Brands is right on trend with this sexy little number. Cut velvet, a Greek key motif, and a shiny chrome frame make this chair absolutely irresistible and a must for any contemporary setting. A little bit masculine but with the luxurious touch of cut velvet.

David Francis Furniture has outdone themselves with this beautifully detailed frame (which also comes in a handful of custom colors) I especially love the contrast of the black and white – definitely a statement piece.

There’s nothing like the historic frame of a fauteuil chair that is upholstered in a modern day print such as the green faux bois print above. Such a contradiction in time periods, which makes it fresh, fun, and exciting.

I absolutely love the shape of this modern interpretation of the wingback chair by Kim Salmela Atelier. Not only does it look good, but it is beyond comfortable – so comfortable that I am going to specify it for a very picky client whose husband is just as particular about comfort as she is about aesthetics.

| The Heritage Collection from Stanley Furniture |
It’s amazing what a little bit of restoration, a fresh coat of new paint, and new upholstery can do. A few months ago these two chairs went through an extensive restoration at the hands of the craftsmen at the Stanley Furniture company and now they are experiencing a renaissance. With the white painted woodwork and the graphic crossweave upholstery from Schumacher in white and blue, these two chairs look fresh, new, and inviting. If I hadn’t been told about their past beforehand, I would have never guessed that they are almost 50 years old!

How could I not fall in love with this hand carved wood frame chair and ottoman with hair on hide printed zebra? This duo is definitely a show stopper and would fit in equally as well in a room with deep saturated color as it does in this neutral setting. I personally would put it in a room with a lot of print, where I would play with the scale to make to make sure that this chair and ottoman stand out from the crowd.
