​

What is a barrel chair? Barrel accent chairs are a type of armchair that was very popular during the mid-20th century. The chairs are easy to recognize by their rounded backs that wrap around the sides and act as arms. Barrel chairs often rest on four wood or metal legs, but some are positioned on pedestal bases.

What are the benefits of barrel chairs? Comfort is one of the key benefits of barrel accent chairs. Many people find the high arms and curved backs of the chairs to be cozy. From an aesthetic standpoint, barrel chairs have a relaxed look but still, show off well-defined lines for an upscale casual vibe.

​

What type of decor does a barrel chair complement? Barrel accent chairs are often featured in mid-century modern seating areas; however, they can also work well in contemporary spaces. Options with turned wood legs may appear more traditional, while wicker and distressed wood lend a rustic vibe to the chairs.

If your new chair will frequently be used, it's important to take durability into account as you compare your options. Barrel accent chairs with cotton or twill upholstery will be able to withstand the rubbing of daily use, and polyester upholstery can resist fading in sunny seating areas. Chairs with kiln-dried solid hardwood frames and eight-way hand-tied suspension tend to be the sturdiest and most durable options.
