Built For Easy Placement and Everyday Use
Accent chairs can sit beside a sofa, across from a sectional, or in a corner to create a reading area. Because of their smaller seating area compared to sectionals, they add seating without overwhelming the room.
Stickley upholstered and leather accent chairs are designed with balanced proportions, so they integrate easily into different layouts. They help define spaces, improve the flow of a room, and add structure without requiring major changes to the room. This makes them useful in living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and other areas where additional seating is needed.
Fabric Upholstery or Leather: Choosing the Right Look and Feel
Both fabric upholstery and leather work well for accent chairs, but each offers a different experience depending on how the chair will be used.
Upholstered accent chairs are softer and allow you to choose from a variety of colors, textures, and patterns to customize your piece. They are often used to either contrast or tie together other accents in the room. Fabric can also help soften the look of a space, especially when paired with wood furniture.
Leather accent chairs provide durability and a natural surface that develops a rich patina over time, giving the piece a unique character. They are best for commonly used seating areas and bring structure to a space. Leather also pairs naturally with Stickley’s wood finishes to create a balanced and cohesive look.
Both options are built to the same standards Stickley has maintained for 125+ years, so the choice comes down to how the chair fits your space and daily use.

Where Materials and Craftsmanship Come Together
Upholstered and leather accent chairs place Stickley’s craftsmanship on display. Fabrics are individually cut and aligned to ensure patterns flow correctly across the chair. This includes careful matching across cushions and seams so the final piece feels balanced and in place. Leather is selected to highlight its natural grain, ensuring each accent chair has its own character.
Small details have a strong impact on the overall look of an accent chair as well. Nailhead trims are added to some leather accent chairs to highlight the edges of the chair and create a subtle accent. Arm shapes, cushion styles, and proportions also influence how the chair fits within a space. Stickley carefully considers all of these elements when producing accent chairs to ensure both comfort and an appealing visual appearance. This allows accent chairs to complement other furniture like sofas, sectionals, and recliners without needing to match exactly.
