Trending - Bouclé & Sheepskin Accent Chairs

Functional, decorative and eye-catching, the perfect accent chair will add an instant visual impact to your home interior. Take that impact to the next level with bouclé or sheepskin upholstery!

So what is an accent chair?

Usually more decorative than your usual sofa or armchair, an accent chair can be used in interior design to create a visual point of difference within a room while still pulling the entire look of your decor together. A strategically placed accent chair can be used to fill an awkward space, act as as love seat in a bay window, or give you a cosy place to read by a bookcase, all while continuing your room's theme and offering coherence within a space.

What is bouclé?

Bouclé (pronounced boo-clay) is a type of fabric that is characterized by its looped or curled yarns that create a textured surface. The term "bouclé" comes from the French word for "curl," which accurately describes the appearance of this fabric.

Bouclé is typically made from wool, although other fibers such as cotton or synthetic blends can also be used. The yarns are twisted and looped together to create a textured surface, which can range from a fine, almost imperceptible texture to a thick, shaggy pile.
