Accent Chair vs Armchair: What Is the Difference and Which to Buy?

Accent chair or armchair? The two names overlap, which makes shopping confusing. An armchair is about comfort: arms, a supportive back and a seat you can sink into. An accent chair is about style: it adds colour or shape to a corner, and it may or may not have arms. This guide helps you choose, with sizes from our product pages.
