One Kings Lane Accent Chairs

I am so excited to collaborate with One Kings Lane again and share my design with One Kings Lane Accent Chairs. As you know, my obsession with accent chairs is never ending and One Kings Lane is one of the best resources for this obsession! Check out all their options for accent chairs.

Well, this was the perfect opportunity to find the ideal accent chair for a new client. This is a killer house with amazing features, however, as you pass down the main foyer/hallway into the great room there is a smaller defined space. A sort of landing ground from the basement, great room, powder room and foyer.

See current space below: First set of pictures show the walls that are opposite each other. As you can see, on the left is the doorway into the powder room, and on the right is the doorway to the basement.

Here are two more shots to give you a better idea.

Now, this space can conjure up questions. What is this space? What is it used for? What do we do with it?

Well, 6 years ago I attended a beautiful event at a home and this exact “room” existed. The homeowner had designed it to be a perfect “ladies” seating room outside the powder room. You know, like at a swanky hotel where ladies can seat and relax, reapply lipstick, check themselves out in a mirror, while they wait to use the washroom. I knew that if ever given the opportunity I would totally love to design such a space, and, here we are today

With the inspiration of One Kings Lane accent chairs I was able to pull together following interior style design.

First thing first. This is a room that EVERY PERSON walking through the home must pass by. So why not making it a statement. When you have small spaces like these have fun with it. You can explore with style and color cause the space is small enough to play with.

I knew I wanted tall wing back chairs to add height to the space. HOWEVER, I did not want them to have the signature upholstered winged sides for two reasons. They tend to be wider and take up more space and it’s not always the best “conversational” chair when something is in your way.

I loved these King Grant Chairs because you get the traditional feel of wing back without all the heaviness, and as a result, you can fit 2 of them comfortably, giving the room a sense of balance.

 I also knew I wanted to add a round rug since the room already shows straight lines and is such a small space, the round rug adds dimension.

And you always have to play with color, by adding a shot of gray to the walls I can then play around with pops of color in the accessories.
