The 7 Best Small Accent Chairs to Complete Your Bedroom

Our editors independently research, test, and recommend the best products; you can learn more about our review process here. We may receive commissions on purchases made from our chosen links.

A bed might be the most important piece of furniture in your bedroom, followed by a dresser and a nightstand or two. But if you're looking to zhuzh up your bedroom and make it more than a place to sleep, consider adding an accent chair to complete the space.

Easy to tuck into an unused corner, accent chairs can either be practical (like a cozy reading nook) or a little more stylistic. And in either case, an accent chair can always be used as one of those chairs—you know, the one that inevitably ends up holding your laundry.

We've rounded up the best options that are perfect for bedrooms, whether you have a minimalist style, a maximalist one, or anything in between!

Ahead, the best small accent chairs for any bedroom.

Cocktail Chair - Ocean Velvet

Size: 35 x 34 x 34 inches | Materials: Cotton, velvet, linen, bouclé | Frame: Hardwood

One of the reasons we love The Inside so much is that every one of its products is customizable, including the Cocktail Chair. This comfortable (and good-looking) accent seat can be upholstered in more than 100 fabrics, from simple solids to eccentric patterns. (Don't worry—you can order fabric swatches at $1 each before you commit.) You also get to choose between two leg finishes as well, ensuring you get the chair of your dreams.

Even better? Each chair is made to order, so there's no excess inventory that could potentially end up as waste.

Corrigan Studio Aleksandra Armchair

Size: 24.8 x 29.5 x 31.7 inches | Materials: Polyester-linen blend | Frame: Birch and manufactured wood

If you have a boho-meets-mod-style bedroom, there's the Wade Logan Warwick Armchair, which expertly combines a classic mid-century shape with rattan embellishments. Those rattan arms are the perfect textural companion to the linen-blend upholstery (which comes in a variety of colors) and birch wood legs.

The lovely neutral tones of this chair won't distract from other statement pieces in your room, so you can set it next to a monstera or fiddle leaf fig, or perhaps in front of some greenery-inspired wallpaper for some cool tropical vibes.

Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair

Size: 21.65 x 25.2 x 26.38 inches | Materials: Molded five-ply with optional wool upholstery | Frame: Eight-ply wood

For some major design cred, opt for the Molded Plywood Lounge Chair (also known as the LCW chair) by iconic mid-century design duo Charles and Ray Eames, who designed this piece for Herman Miller. It was named "Design of the Century" by Time magazine for its simple, organic form, which features a wide seat and back that are connected by curved plywood supports. Beloved by design aficionados everywhere, this chair has been imitated countless times, but there's nothing like the real deal. The LCW chair comes in five finishes and can be upholstered in three fabrics.

Velvet Elowen Chair

Size: 24.25 x 24 x 34.25 inches | Materials: Cotton velvet, brass | Frame: Hardwood

Leave it to Anthropologie to come up with the vibrant Velvet Elowen Chair, which perfectly complements a retro glam aesthetic. Upholstered in jewel-toned or pastel-hued velvet with brass legs, this simple chair exudes quiet confidence—it'll make a statement in your bedroom without overwhelming the space.

Given its streamlined profile, this chair would work equally well in a corner as it would in front of a vanity or as a desk chair. There's also a version with arms if you'd prefer that shape.

Amber Swivel Chair

Size: 30.7 x 30.7 x 29.5 inches | Materials: Polyester, bouclé | Frame: Solid wood

The chic Amber Swivel Chair from Castlery is equal parts comfy and stylish. Thanks to the wraparound back, this chair gives you a hug every time you sit in it—but its silhouette is totally mod. With its swivel base, you can easily transition from curling up with a book to looking out the window to watching TV.

You also have a few different upholstery options to choose from, including two fabrics and super cozy bouclé. Keep things elegant with the neutral gray, or go nontraditional with a muted mustard yellow.

Cuba Lounge Chair

Size: 31 x 24 x 30 inches | Materials: Cotton webbing | Frame: Solid wood

Okay, now this is a seriously cool chair. The Cuba Lounge Chair was designed by Scandinavian-modern expert Morten Gøttler for Danish furniture company Carl Hansen & Son. Known for his masterful work with wood, Gøttler crafted an extremely elegant, curved oak frame for this chair—which is technically a folding chair, by the way—over which is stretched black or white webbing. (The frame comes in four different finishes, too.) It's definitely a striking look, and it would pair well with a monochromatic design scheme in a bedroom.

Article Mod Armchair

Size: 34 x 35 x 41.5 inches | Materials: Polyester-blend | Frame: Solid wood

All right, avid readers, this is the chair for you. While Article's Mod Armchair is a little bigger than a standard accent chair for a bedroom, we think it's worth squeezing it into your space, given just how comfortable it is. You'll feel perfectly cocooned in this wingback chair with overly plush padding.

The chair has a durable tweed upholstery that comes in four colors, from the tame Blue Berry to the eye-catching Spearmint Aqua, and solid wood legs. If you have the space, definitely add an ottoman, too, to create the perfect mini oasis in your bedroom.

Final Verdict

Overall, we recommend The Inside's Cocktail Chair (view at The Inside), which has a deep seat and comes in over 100 different fabrics, colors, and patterns. If you want something more budget-friendly, we recommend the Wade Logan Warlick Armchair (view at Wayfair), which combines a modern silhouette with organic rattan accents for an inviting seat.
