I have been perusing the land of accent chairs recently to replace the two ghost chairs that are in our living room. From the time we moved in, I knew I wanted something more formal and upholstered in there instead of the ghost chairs. While the ghost chairs are great for occasional chairs to have on hand for extra guests, I would prefer something else to cozy up in.
During the search, I found a ton of great upholstered affordable accent chairs. Of course, not all of these chairs would work for my living room, but seeing as how all of these are $300 or less, I had to share them in case anyone else was in the depths of accent chair shopping and you were slightly starting to lose your mind. Why yes, I am referring to myself there. 😉

Oh wow, i loved so many of them. Can’t wait to see what you chose.
It was tough, Marty!! I was surprised to find so many pretty ones at great prices!
Wish I had the problem! All of them are very attractive. Myself, the grey one with the footstool would be my choice. I like to put my feet up and be comfortable.
We just got a set of chairs and matching footstools for the sitting area in our master bedroom and I just love having those footstools, Anne! They are wonderful!
Oooo. I love me that red one. Ok who am I kidding, I love them all. This post came at a great time – I’m indeed looking for a new accent chair for my livingroom. Thanks!
That red one is one of my favorites as well, Lisa!
I have narrowed it down to three. The rose pink, the tuxedo, or the low seated high back in fuchsia. Just too many choices, and maybe I’m thinking more of what I like, but I really did try to pick what you would pick, I think.
I ruled out the tuxedo due to color choice, I like the color shown and I think it would look fabulous in your living room, but not sure you would go for the beige or off white, so that leaves the other two.
Hurry up and tell us which one you picked, I’m thinking you went with the rose pink.
Oh Patty, you’re close….really close.
Be still, my heart….that red studded arm chair is to die for!!! ~I can only imagine it having a matching foot stool!
I know – I LOVE that one too! So pretty!
There are at least 10 of these that I could picture in my home. Although they don’t fit my color scheme I would be willing to paint walls to have those fuschia chairs.
Girl, I know!!! I love those fuchsia ones!
The pacific blue wingback is my favorite! We have one that we need to get reupholstered.
I love that one too, Donella!
