How to Style a Velvet Accent Chair in Any Room
A velvet accent chair is more than just a place to sit — it's a statement piece. Whether you're going for modern glam, timeless elegance, or an eclectic twist, the Velvet Accent Chair can transform any space into a curated sanctuary. In this guide, we’ll show you how to style it beautifully and seamlessly integrate it into your home décor.
1. Choose the Right Colour Palette
Velvet naturally adds a sense of luxury, so choose complementary colours that elevate its richness. Our Velvet Accent Chairs are available in bold jewel tones like emerald green and navy blue, as well as softer shades like blush and dove grey.
Tip: For a cohesive look, pair jewel-toned chairs with metallic gold or brass accents. If you're going minimalist, soft neutrals and monochrome palettes will keep the look refined.
2. Define the Space
In open-plan rooms, an accent chair can help define a zone. Use a rug beneath the chair or place it beside a side table to create a dedicated reading nook or lounge area.
Pro Styling Trick: Add a small indoor plant beside the chair to bring in a touch of nature and balance the luxe feel of the velvet.
3. Mix and Match Textures
Velvet is plush and smooth, so pairing it with contrasting textures like wood, leather, or metal will add visual depth. Check out our console tables for a sleek accompaniment to the softness of your accent chair.
Layer in cozy throws, linen cushions, or a knit pouffe to create a multi-dimensional aesthetic that's both stylish and inviting.
4. Don’t Forget Lighting
Your chair will shine even brighter with the right lighting. Floor lamps or statement table lamps placed nearby will draw attention and enhance the room’s ambiance. Browse our lighting collection to find fixtures that complement your chosen style.
5. Placement Ideas by Room
Living Room
Place a velvet chair beside the sofa for extra seating and a pop of colour. Use a decorative mirror above to reflect light and make the space feel larger.
Bedroom
Use it as a vanity seat or reading nook by the window. Pair it with one of our modern bedside tables for functional flair.
Home Office
Add sophistication to your workspace with a velvet chair in the corner or as your main desk chair. Match it with one of our contemporary desks for a cohesive look.
