Accent chairs to go with leather sofa
Hi all
I've taken the plunge and ordered a new sofa for the living room. It's a teal leather 3 seater and we've order the footstool too. Due to the size of our living room we couldn't fit the 2 seater as well, so now I need to find some accent chairs to go with it. I would like something cosy and comfy. Any suggestions people, for style and for colours to go with please? Thank you all.

Comments (30)Hello the days are brightening up by now and I'm sure the room is looking less drab for it. However I think furniture rearranging will work wonders. You seem to have nice low window sills: show them off. If the sofa goes to the left between window and built-in unit you'll have a view out to the garden and more light in the room. Equally: can you fit the piano between the radiator and the double doors? Again: more light through the window. Low sills are a god-send, and so many of us are stuck with high ones. The room will feel more spacious with a good view to outdoors. The armchairs then: one to the left of the fireplace and one between the other window and piano. TV then between the two windows. (No shine on the screen) Does that fit maybe? Or do you need all five seats facing the TV? I rather like those stripy cushions. Can you find a striped wallpaper in matching colors and with an irregular pattern repeat for your accent wall? if going with wood floors how about a sheepskin rug for each of your doggies? Black or white. One last detail. A lower table for your side lamps would be good: At sofa arm or seat height. Coffee table could work in corner between window and new sofa position. Btw: I liked the suggestion to replace the cupboard doors above the fish tank with full-height ones. In some kitchen shops you can find ready-painted, wooden, panel doors that might fit. It's a long shot but you could be lucky. It would brighten up the corner if you got a light colour....See MoreWhat style is this sofa?
Comments (25)It's interesting, but we inherited a sofa and companion chair with the same sweep of the arms, but a lot of intentionally fanned pleats - all done in a deep peach fabric- almost salmon. I was moving into a larger home and needed the pieces, probably 1930s vintage with squatted round wooden feet/legs, each on a caster. I didn't like the color however, so chose to have it reupholstered. That, rather than be forced to work with it. I still love it today. So there's another option, though a little pricey. I agree with Decoenthusiast about the vintage of your sofa. It's not very old, and style is transitional. So it can, just like my delightfully interesting Christmas dinner guest (thanks Lenny), 'go either way' ;).....See MoreCurtains, blinds or voile.
Comments (3)Really like that thanks a mil. Was half thinking of doing that wall a light grey incase it was two white. I think what you suggested pulls it off though....See MoreCurtain dilemma.
Comments (4)What is your accent color? What pattern are you adding to the space? Windows can be a great place to add both color and pattern....See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoHi, I love your sofa! I'd go for something neutral. Grey, cream, beige or putty, and for fabric. You can bring in colour with accessories like cushions, art, rug maybe. Difficult to say which chairs are the right size for your room and whether you'll find them comfortable, but I think that something like these will go very well with your sofa. First one is Westelm, second Orla Kiely (Barker & Stonehouse) and third Made.

3 years agoHave you had a look at Loaf as they now do a few which should complement the sofa. As you mention comfort they’re the first that spring to mind. The first 2 are my favourites. Ignore the colours as they have a big selection but you could look at a shade of pink, grey, taupe, a lighter teal or orange (need to go back and check their shades but I think they do a couple of oranges!)

3 years agoHi all, so we've narrowed it down to a few choices we found in DFS. We're going for comfort n colours we've compromised on are either light grey/burgundy /cinnamon (like a burnt orange)... grey is practical as neutral but the burgundy n cinnamon are wow...what are your thoughts please? We'd get two chairs, same design n likely same colour...

3 years agoJust looked at the DFS site and put some of the colour options together with your sofa. Ignore the chair, go with what you find the most comfortable one and which one will fit the best in your space and leaves enough space to walk around. To show you the Burgundy and Cinnamon (of those two I prefer the cinnamon), Latte and Grey.

Just to complete the picture, really. Not to say those are the perfect rugs. But the chair and sofa looked so lonely ;-)Tashmina Hoque
