Are you considering an accent chair for your living room? Perhaps you’re looking for that final piece to tie your room together.
Also called an occasional chair or stationary chair, living room accent chairs are meant to provide extra seating but can also complement the decor in a living room or bedroom. Comfortable modern accent chair colours and styles can connect elements in your room and invigorate your space. Try a funky new patterned accent chair with arms or a splash of colour, and it can serve as the room’s focal point.
Upon walking into one of our furniture stores in Ottawa , Gatineau and Kingston, you might not expect to see the versatile, comfortable accent chair options La-Z-Boy offers. "It’s true," says Matthew Newton, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Kanata. "La-Z-Boy is more than just recliners. From traditional to contemporary and even retro, our La-Z-Boy chairs can complement any decor."
As inventors of the reclining chair back in 1927, you can rest easy knowing a La-Z-Boy chair possesses 90 years of design innovation. At our La-Z-Boy furniture stores in Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston, we’ve helped hundreds of clients find the perfect chair. Although there are dozens of choices available, in this article, we’ll outline our top-selling accent chairs.

Matthew also says that the Dante is a little similar when it comes to the Rheeves, in terms of its tallness. "They aren't direct competitors, but they do share that same depth with them," he says."
