An occasional chair is a chair that is only used occasionally, but that in no way takes away from its importance. It can be the starring piece of furniture in a room. For that reason, it is also often called an accent chair.Not only does an occasional chair provide functionality by providing extra seating, but it also acts as an exclamation point in a room. It ties together a look, or brings it into focus, or just provides an unexpected contrast to shake things up.
An occasional chair or accent chair may belong to any style, shape, color or form.
The upholstery on the chair may be patterned, solid, or a combination. It can be textured or smooth, covering a frame completely, or leaving the frame uncovered. The chair that you pick depends upon the style you have in a room, and whether you want that chair to emphasize that style, or provide a sense of contrast.The Belknap chair from Hooker Furniture is an updated version of a chair in the Winterthur Museum that is an early 20th-century leather-covered armchair.Some features of the original chair such as the arched back, deep seat, and padded arms were retained while the rest was updated for today's use.
