A low living room chair turns a modern living room into a space you can really relax in. The angular design and metal-cloth mix give it a modern look. Make it homier by adding a blanket on the side.

2. Modern Feminine

Don’t let the clean lines and angular design fool you—modern can be feminine too. Pick a living room chair in pastel shades, with a slightly rounded shape. Adding a matching footstool is also a great idea, and it’s an easy way to make your decor look consistent.

3. Homey Modern

Get a full set with your accent living room chair. A matching pillow in an interesting shape adds a modern touch. And having a footstool makes your living room chair extra comfy and perfect for spending hours reading, napping, or just relaxing and enjoying the view.

Add some personality to otherwise dull angles and lines—a swan living room chair is perfect for that. For colorful living rooms, pick a neutral color, like gray, to balance it out. For neutral living rooms, add a pop of color with bright red or yellow.

5. Vintage with a Modern Twist

Plastic chairs don’t sound like a very good idea for indoors. But a stylish plastic chair begs to differ. It’s definitely modern, and you have even more color and shade choices. Plus, it’s a great no-mess, easy to clean piece of furniture.

6. Industrial

Go full-on industrial with a metal living room chair that features interesting lines, and comes in an equally interesting shape. If you get more than one, you can also use them, not only as accent chairs but as dining chairs if you have a convertible dining table.

7. Comfy Modern

For full comfort, choose a living room chair with a high back that can also become a centerpiece. A swivel chair is a great choice, made even comfier by its soft material and an added pillow.

8. Metal Accents
