So you’ve painted the walls, picked the curtains, and even purchased crystal chandeliers for your living room. But something seems amiss: the room looks bland, the furniture stale, and guests respond with a ‘huh’ than a ‘wow!’. What your room is missing are a few accent pieces such as leather sofas and tub chairs.<\/p>\n
The dictionary definition of ‘accent’ is to stress or emphasize something. Accent furniture pieces do exactly that in a living room: they accent the room’s decor, help draw the viewer’s attention, and complement the artwork and lighting in the room. Accent pieces may not even be functional. Their primary purpose is, in the words of The Dude from ‘The Big Lebowski’, to ‘tie the room together’.<\/p>\n
Elegant sofas and leather tub chairs make for great accent furniture while still being functional. Their material, texture, and ability to draw the viewer’s gaze can be used to create truly interesting interior designs. Some of the reasons why your living room needs such accent pieces are:<\/p>\n
1. The Material<\/p>\n
Leather is the undisputed king of furniture upholstery materials. No material – natural or synthetic – can match the grace, ruggedness and sheer plushness of leather. Leather has a rich fall and looks especially good with sofas and tub chairs. Since the material immediately draws attention, it is perfect for giving a semblance of solidity and direction to a room’s decor.<\/p>\n
2. Functionality<\/p>\n
Leather sofas and tub chairs are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing. Elegant leather sofas can accommodate multiple guests comfortably, while tub chairs make for cozy, warm seating.<\/p>\n
3. Colours<\/p>\n
