Think of Martha Stewart, and images of her iconic Bedford home will likely follow. Her New York farmhouse epitomizes everything you might associate with Martha, including versatile neutrals, timeless silhouettes, and classic luxury. We can be sure, then, that any furnishing from her 'Bedford' collection will follow this example, and sure enough, this includes our new favorite accent chair.
While we often focus on Martha Stewart's bedding and kitchenware collection, we've recently developed a taste for her larger furnishings, starting with the Fayette Accent Chair (available on Amazon). Like all from the range, this piece combines modern aesthetics with natural elements to embody the charm of farmhouse living, just as Martha does in her home.
With its sophisticated button tufting, rolled arms, and quietly luxurious cream exterior, this accent chair is one of the most versatile you can choose. We spotted it deep on Amazon while scouting Martha's best springtime deals, and it's currently at the lowest price we've seen.
With its stylish aesthetic aside, we love how Martha designed this chair with quality in mind. It's built with a sturdy wood frame, high-density foam seat, and solid wood legs, ensuring it's soft yet durable for many years to come.
When arranging your living room furniture, an accent chair (whether it's this one or something similar) is one of the easiest pieces to style. Neutral chairs are inevitably the simplest, since they serve as a subtle base, and will never overwhelm your space.
'When it comes to styling an accent chair, simplicity is key. The chair should complement the aesthetics of the room, while still commanding the attention it deserves. A neutral colourway is ideal, as this becomes the foundation, and styling can be layered accordingly,' comments Cristina Rugo, the creative director at Greycaine.
According to Cristina, your chosen fabric is one of the most important elements to consider. 'It's imperative to the overall look, a textured, rich material will elevate the chair’s presence,' she says. When it comes to layering, accessories are key. 'Cushions and throws not only add warmth but introduce depth and character to the overall look.'
We've handpicked some of our favorite accessories – all of which will look beautiful on Martha Stewart's Fayette chair.
Crafted in India from 100% cotton with an organic texture, this pillow’s cover is surrounded with a thick tassel fringe for a bit of boho appeal. It's the unique addition you've been looking for.
The handmade blanket is made of high-quality chenille yarn to keep the blanket durable and super soft. Its eco-friendly dyeing process provides extra softness and comfort for those with sensitive skin.
This super soft velvet pillow is a great way to add a burst of cherry red without over-committing to such a deep color. Plus, that playful striped trim adds a touch of pattern, too.
One last styling tip? Cristina recommends creating a cozy reading nook around your chair by pairing a floor light and a side table alongside. This will form an inviting space that's almost impossible to leave.
