Mustard yellow accent chair and softer yellows

Yellow runs from deep mustard to a soft, sunny shade, and the deeper tones are easier to live with. The mustard linen chaise lounge curves from head to feet and adds a gentle vibration you switch on from a remote. An earthy yellow chair carries a gold and gray botanical print, while bright yellow velvet, chenille, corduroy and teddy fabric give a cleaner, more modern pop.

Yellow swivel accent chair and rocking chairs

Several of these chairs move. The yellow corduroy chair spins 360 degrees on a metal base, with an 18.5 inch seat over foam and pocket coils, and the yellow swivel lounge chair adjusts to five angles. For a nursery or reading corner, there is a glider, a nearly 40 inch tall teddy rocking chair, and a performance velvet rocker with track arms and an adjustable headrest.

Yellow velvet accent chair styles

Velvet makes yellow glow. The mid-century velvet chair sits on a solid wood frame in an espresso finish, which sharpens the contrast, and holds up to 250 pounds. The velvet rocker uses performance velvet, a practical choice for a busy room.

Modern yellow accent chair sizes

Most chairs here are 27 to 38.4 inches wide, sized for a corner, a bedroom or a pair beside a sofa. The larger statement pieces are a 47.2 inch wide chenille chair big enough for an adult to fold into and the 58.3 inch long chaise lounge. The rounded chenille chair with a rolled cylinder back stands just 26.2 inches tall for a low, sculptural look.

Yellow and gray accent chair pairings

Yellow and gray are a classic pair: a yellow chair brightens a gray sofa or a white-walled room, and the botanical print chair already carries both colors. Vacuum chenille, velvet and corduroy with an upholstery brush, and blot spills right away.

Frequently asked questions

What is an accent chair?
An accent chair is a single chair chosen to add color, pattern or shape to a room, separate from the main sofa. It gives extra seating while drawing the eye. A yellow accent chair does that job well, because one bright seat can lift a gray, white or beige room on its own.
How do you style an accent chair?
Style an accent chair by angling it toward the sofa or into a corner, then adding a small side table, a floor lamp and one pillow or throw. With a yellow chair, repeat the yellow once or twice elsewhere in the room, such as in art or a vase, and keep the rest of the palette calm.
How do you choose an accent chair color?
Choose an accent chair color that contrasts with the sofa but shares an undertone with something else in the room, such as a rug, art or wood floor. Yellow suits gray, white, navy and warm wood. Mustard reads warmer and calmer, while bright yellow makes a bolder statement.
Should an accent chair match the couch?
An accent chair should complement the couch rather than match it, since its job is to add contrast. Pick a different color or texture, like yellow velvet beside a gray sofa, and keep the scale similar so the seat and arm heights sit close to the sofa.
How tall should an accent chair be?
An accent chair is usually 30 to 40 inches tall overall, with a seat about 17 to 19 inches high, close to a standard sofa. The yellow chairs here range from 26.2 inches tall for the low cylinder-back chair to 39.8 inches for the high-back teddy rocking chair.
How do you clean accent chair fabric?
Clean accent chair fabric by vacuuming it with an upholstery brush, then blotting spills right away with a clean cloth and a little mild soap and water. Test any cleaner on a hidden spot first. Once dry, brush velvet and corduroy in the direction of the pile so the color stays even.
