Upholstered Chairs

The Role of Armchairs and Accent Chairs Within Your Home or Office

Armchairs and accent chairs can be commonly misinterpreted as the same thing. However, the accent chair and the armchair have a different purpose and sometimes different styles, meaning that the names are not interchangeable. Discovering the right accent chair or armchair has been made easy on eBay, and this is what sets these two types of furniture apart from each other.

Yes. An armchair can be an accent chair and an accent chair can be an armchair. However, if your accent chair does not have arms, it is not an armchair. An armchair is simply a chair with arms. The purpose of an accent chair is to complement the surrounding furniture by adding contrast. You can do so by bringing colour or excitement to the design elements of the room.

The different types of new and second-hand armchairs on eBay include:

• Swivel chairs - With swivel chairs, you are able to rotate the seat a full 360 degrees to the left or to the right.
• Recliner armchairs - With recliner armchairs, the person that is sitting is able to lower the back of the chair, while raising the front portion. You are able to rest your back and feet while in this type of armchair.
• Cuddle chair - This type of armchair is made for one or two people. This chair can add an intimate touch to your home.
• Riser recliner chairs - With this type of armchair, you are able to move from an upright seated position to a reclining position with elevated legs. You are also able to move from an upright seated position to a fully standing position. You are also able to tilt the entire seat backward without separating the backrest from the actual seat. This allows you to remain in a seated position while leaning backward.

Finding the right armchair or accent chair for your home or office will depend on your personal needs and wants for the interior of your rooms. If you are looking to add more style and excitement to your room, an accent chair may be what you need. Choose a style and colour that complements the furniture already present in the room. If you would like for your chair to have more functions such as recliner features, an armchair may be what you need.
