Armless Accent Chairs

An armless accent chair is a single upholstered chair with no arms, which keeps it narrow and easy to fit into a tight corner or beside other seats. This page carries accent, sleeper and rocking styles from 22.4 to 45.3 inches wide, most with solid wood in their construction, in velvet, boucle, corduroy, chenille, linen and vegan leather.

Armless accent chair styles and uses

An armless accent chair leaves the sides open, so it takes less width than an armchair and lets you sit sideways, cross your legs or pull it up to a table. Styles here include slim upholstered chairs and curved designs, along with select sleeper chairs that open for a guest and select rocking chairs made for nurseries.

Brown is the most common color, with white, beige, blue, green, black and cream also available.

Small armless accent chair sizes and room fit

A small armless accent chair suits bedrooms, apartments and corners where arms would crowd a walkway. Across the set, widths run 22.4 to 45.3 inches, depths 23 to 43.3 inches and heights 27.5 to 31.7 inches, with a sleeper chair at the widest end.

Without arms, a chair can sit closer to a sofa or another chair, but leave about 18 inches to a coffee table and about 30 inches for walkways.

Upholstered armless accent chair fabrics

An upholstered armless accent chair here comes in a range of coverings, with velvet, boucle, corduroy, chenille, linen and vegan leather each found on select models.

Velvet feels smooth with a soft sheen, boucle has a looped, nubby texture, corduroy has raised ribs, chenille has a plush pile, linen has a relaxed woven look, and vegan leather is a synthetic that wipes clean easily.

Armless accent chair set of 2 and pairing

An armless accent chair set of 2 gives you a matched pair to place side by side across from a sofa or on either side of a small table. Select models here are sold as a set of two, and because armless chairs sit close together, a pair takes less wall space than two armchairs.

Modern armless accent chair construction and care

A modern armless accent chair puts its frame and legs on show, so construction is worth checking. Most models here list solid wood in their construction, and some pair it with plywood or MDF panels.

Vacuum fabric chairs with an upholstery attachment, dust vegan leather with a soft dry cloth, and follow the care label on your model for spills and stains.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How does an accent chair with arms compare to an armless accent chair?
An accent chair with arms gives more support for sitting down, standing up and resting your elbows, but it takes more width. An armless accent chair is narrower, lets you sit sideways or cross your legs, and can sit closer to other seats. Choose arms for long reading sessions, and armless for tight spaces, extra guest seating or pairs.
Are armless accent chairs comfortable?
Armless accent chairs can be comfortable, especially for sitting upright, sitting sideways or perching for a conversation. Comfort comes from the seat depth, padding and back angle rather than the arms. For long lounging, some people prefer arms to lean on, so look at a deeper seat or add a lumbar pillow if you plan to sit for hours.
Is there an armless accent chair set of 2?
Yes. Select armless accent chairs here are sold as a set of two, giving you a matched pair in one order. A pair of armless chairs works well across from a sofa, beside a fireplace or around a small table, and because they have no arms, the two chairs can sit close together without crowding the space.
How do you place accent chairs in a living room?
Place accent chairs in a living room so they face the sofa or angle toward it, forming a conversation area around a coffee table. Leave about 18 inches between the chairs and the table, and keep main walkways around 30 inches wide. Armless chairs are easy to fit into corners and beside windows, and they can be pulled closer when guests arrive.
How many accent chairs should a living room have?
Most living rooms work with one or two accent chairs alongside the sofa. One chair suits a small room or a reading corner, while a pair balances a larger room and creates a symmetrical conversation area. Armless chairs take less width than armchairs, so a pair can fit where two armchairs would crowd the walkway.
Can you use dining chairs as accent chairs?
Yes, upholstered dining chairs can work as accent chairs, especially armless ones, since they share a similar upright shape. An accent chair is usually a little lower and deeper, with softer padding, so it feels more relaxed for lounging. If you want a chair that moves between the table and the living room, a slim armless accent chair is a good middle ground.
Do accent chairs have to match?
No. Accent chairs do not have to match each other or the sofa, and a contrast often looks more intentional. Tie them together with one shared element, such as a color from the rug, a similar leg finish or a matching height. A pair of armless chairs in the same fabric gives a tidy look, while two different fabrics feel more collected.
