The Trusty Classic: 15 Black Accent Chairs

The Trusty Classic: 15 Black Accent Chairs

Black is the ultimate one-fit-for-all color, whether we’re talking fashion or interior design.

If you’d like to add some spice to your home interior by switching it up with an accent chair, black is a great color to consider because it also allows you to play safe.

Think about it – should you ever decide to redecorate completely, your black accent chair would still be standing, trusty, and fitting in any set-up.

1. Mixed Seats

Perhaps you wish to create an eclectic space for yourself by combining all the different seats in your living room.

Make sure to include black chairs into the mix, because they not only provide contrast but are also a perfect addition to any combination.

2. Think About the Shape

Color isn’t all to consider when picking a great accent piece.

Create contrast by choosing a chair that’s strikingly different in shape from the other furniture.

3. Create Balance

When it comes to the kitchen, you may bend over backward to match everything to a tee, and still, you must find a way to fit an oven and other kitchen electronics that don’t pass the vibe check.

They’re modern, sleek, and black most of the time, and while that works wonderfully with some concepts, others it drags down.

So how about using black bar stools to add some balance into the mix?

4. Accent Dining Chairs

Make your beige dining room pop by enriching it with black accent chairs.

Depending on the model of the chairs, this may help you achieve any interior design style you like. In the above picture, for instance, the black chairs promote the farmhouse vibe in the dining room.

5. Chic Elegance

Look for beautiful designs to capitalize on the ‘accent’ part of your accent chair.

Another reason that black accent chairs are an optimal choice is that they can get away with unusual shapes without impairing the overall style of the interior.

The color is so universal and simple, that it creates balance all on its own.

6. Break the Simplicity Cycle

Interior styles such as japandi are envisioned to be calming, elegant, and more often than not monochrome.

Diversify your interior by creating contrast with a black accent chair.

7. Good Ol’ Leather Chair

Black leather chairs should be a style all of its own.

It’s the perfect trusty accent that works well with any interior style and any set of colors.

8. Confuse Your Guests

Add a spark to your interior with a fun accent chair that looks like an optical illusion.

Such witty designs allow you to combine functionality with style in unusual ways.

9. Use the Chair in a Different Way

The easiest way to ensure your accent chair attracts looks is by using it in an alternative way.

Use a stylish, slim-line black chair as a side table. It works the best in eclectic and art-filled interiors.

10. Black Accent Chair for Art Deco Luxury

Art Deco interior design style is not only about strong shapes but also strong colors.

A contrasting palette is a popular choice when this style is concerned, so if you want to achieve it in your own interior, consider getting a black accent chair.

11. A Maximalist Fit

Make the most of your maximalist living room by enriching it with a stylish black accent chair.

12. Avoid the Showroom Effect

As sleek as most minimalist interiors can be, they bear a serious risk of looking like a set in a furniture salon.

Introduce some contrast to counter the showroom effect.

The vast majority of minimalist chairs and sofas tend to be white, gray, or beige. The overall space could use some contrast to avoid uniformity.

13. A Glitch in the Pastel Palette

Combining black accents with pastel interiors and vice versa is the very definition of stylish emphasis.

It’s fresh and striking and can transform your space with only a single element – the black accent chair.

14. Cool and Warm Hues

Black accent chairs work great in overall beige interiors because they not only create contrast in the level of exposure but also the saturation.

15. Black Accent Taboret

If you’d like to play it extra safe, choose an accent piece that’s not as large of an investment as an armchair.

A pair of black taborets achieves the exact same effect for a fraction of the price.

In Conclusion

Consider your black accent chair “the little black dress” of interior design.

It’s sure to work with any style and arrangement by providing stylishness and contrast.
