Pieces of accent furniture are normally seen as a secondary focus in a room, behind primary items like the sofa or coffee table. However, accent furniture is just as important to the overall feel of a room. Without it, a room risks looking plain and boring. Stylish end tables, extra seating, dressers and more are the additions that every space needs to truly come to life! Here is how to fit those items into your space:
PRIORITIZE SIZE AND FUNCTION
When selecting accent furniture, consider both the size of the item and the function it will provide. This is especially important in small spaces.

BOLDER IS BETTER
Your accent pieces should stand out within your space. If selected appropriately, they should make a room feel lively and unique. Accent pieces work best when you take a chance and think outside the box!

PICKING THE RIGHT PIECES
Entryways: The entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home, so this is the perfect place to show off your style with an eye-catching piece. Select a chest or console table with a strong colour or unique shape.

Side Tables: Look for tables that are painted, inlaid, or have an interesting treatment. The most unique tables are usually made from unconventional materials or have strong colours or lines.

Large Statement Accents: Accent furniture doesn’t always have to be small in scale. Have a bare wall or corner? Fill it with something that demands attention like a piece of art, a large mirror or big cabinet.

Chairs with Flair: Accent chairs should have a strong profile, unique upholstery or a show-stopping colour! Added bonus if it’s super comfy!

Gather ‘round: Dining tables with a unique material, colour or finish can draw the eye and will surely become a talking point around dinner! Consider size and shape first, then pick one that brings all the colours and materials of your room together. If you are looking for something truly unique, try your hand at “up-cycling” from a local antique shop.
