Find all kinds of sofas and chairs on 1stDibs to get started.

What is the difference between a sofa and a chair?

The difference between a sofa and a chair can be summed up by the number of people who can sit on it at one time. A chair is for just one person, while a sofa can accommodate two or more people. Accent chairs used in seating areas often feature upholstery similar to a sofa. However, not all chairs come upholstered, while the vast majority of sofas do. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary sofas and chairs.

Can an accent chair be lower than a sofa?

To create a balanced look, limit the height difference between your sofa and accent chairs to no more than four inches. Find a large selection of accent chairs on 1stDibs.

How to match sofas with accent chairs?

You can match sofas and accent chairs in a few different ways. One option is to choose sofas and chairs in similar solid colors. Alternatively, you can select a sofa in the primary color of your palette and accent chairs in the secondary hue. Another approach is to pair a patterned sofa with solid-colored accent chairs or vice versa. Find a large selection of sofas and accent chairs on 1stDibs.

Should your accent chairs match your sofa?

No, your accent chair doesn't have to match your sofa, but many people choose to coordinate them.

Accent chairs and sofas can coordinate if they show off similar colors or materials, giving you the freedom to mix and match. Explore a variety of accent chairs and sofas on 1stDibs.

What is a single sofa chair called?
