Choosing a living room chair involves more than just picking a fabric you like. At Uhlmann’s Furniture, we assist homeowners across Benton, Johnson, and Linn counties in finding pieces that provide both utility and aesthetic appeal. While people often confuse these two seating options, understanding the difference between accent and armchair designs is essential for a well planned home. Whether you live in Washington or Black Hawk county, selecting the right piece depends on your specific goals for the space.
Understanding the Role of the Armchair
Armchairs are classic living room seats made for relaxing. They focus on comfort, with deep seats and strong armrests to support you if you sit for a long time. Since they are usually bigger and heavier, they tend to stay in one spot. An armchair works well in a reading corner or as the main seat in your living room if you plan to use it often.
Uhlmann’s has a variety of armchair sizes to fit all sizes – from petite to generous – so everyone can enjoy the comfort of a great chair!
The Versatile Appeal of the Accent Chair
Accent chairs add personality to your home. They are usually smaller and lighter than armchairs, so you can move them around easily. These chairs are great for bringing color or a unique shape to a room without using much space. You might see them in entryways, bedrooms, or as extra seats that are easy to move when you have guests.
Key Factors for Choosing Your Perfect Chair
Think about how you will use the chair before you buy. If you want something comfortable for relaxing every night, a soft armchair is your best bet. If you want to add style or fill a small space, an upholstered accent chair is a good choice. Be sure to measure your room so the chair fits well with your other furniture.
