Accent Chairs
If you’re looking to make a statement, look no further than accent chairs. Accent chairs, sometimes referred to as occasional chairs, are statement pieces of furniture used to create a focal point in your room.
They’re a modern, stylish chair option that can be used in your living room or bedroom – or in any other room where you want to let your armchair do the talking. An accent chair should stand out from the rest of your room’s decor, thanks to its unique colour, design or style. Whether you’re looking for a pink, black, grey or green accent chair, you’ll find plenty of colourful options here at HSL, so you can make your chair pop against your colour scheme.
Our accent chairs also come in a choice of fabrics, from soft velvet to durable leather, so you can choose the one that best meets your aesthetic preferences and practical needs.
But accent chairs aren’t simply a decorative item. The best accent chairs are also ergonomic, offering both comfort and functionality. Our high-back accent chairs provide great back and lumbar support, ensuring you maintain proper posture while reducing pressure on your neck, shoulders, back and spine. Built with high-quality materials and attention to detail, HSL’s chairs are proudly UK-made, showcasing craftsmanship that ensures durability and long-lasting comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an accent chair?
An accent chair is a decorative chair that’s made to stand out in your living room or bedroom.
What is the difference between an accent chair and an occasional chair?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but technically speaking they’re slightly different. An accent chair is made to add an eye-catching pop of colour or style to your room. An occasional chair, on the other hand, is one that’s not used very often – although an occasional chair can also be an accent chair!
What size accent chairs are available from HSL?
We aim to make furniture that makes you feel good, and that includes ensuring you get the perfect size to fit you. We offer accent chairs in up to four sizes, ranging from Super Petite to Grande.
Which rooms are best for accent chairs?
You can use an accent chair wherever you want! They’re great in living rooms where they create a focal point that guests’ eyes will be drawn to, as well as in bedrooms.
Can I choose from different colour and fabric options?
Of course! Accent chairs should enhance your space’s decor, so it’s important to choose one that’s the right style for your home. That’s why we offer a selection of colour and fabric options, so you can choose the one that’s just right for your unique tastes.
Do accent chairs need to match my sofa?
No, not at all. Many people choose an accent chair in a different colour or fabric, creating a striking focal point. But if you prefer your accent chair to match your sofa, then feel free to go for a coordinated look.
What are the benefits of an accent chair?
Accent chairs add personality to your room – but it’s not all style over substance. The best occasional chairs are ergonomic, offering support and comfort in all the right places. Plus, they offer extra seating without taking up much space.
