Martha Stewart designed a neutral chair with a sophisticated presence that's strong enough to set the tone in your living room – and it's hiding on Wayfair
Martha's ultimate accent chair embodies country farmhouse living – designers say you can use such a piece to elevate a space completely


If you're already familiar with Martha Stewart's collection, you'll already know there's one thing she does exceptionally well, and that's an accent chair. While every piece carrying Martha's name has a quality we can trust, her chairs are continually favored for their blend of pure style and durability. The Decker Windowpane Low Armed Accent Chair (available on Wayfair) is the latest example of such an ideology.
Here on the celebrity style team, we spend hours every week scrolling through Martha Stewart's collections, but this accent chair still stopped us in our tracks.
While, on the surface, its unintrusive neutral colorway doesn't demand attention, its perfect shade – and delicate pattern – is versatile enough to elevate every kind of living room (whether you're a minimalist or not). It's not bold but subtly beautiful, and currently, it's at a more accessible price than ever.
Upholstered in soft beige-hued fabric, this accent chair showcases a simple design with track arms and a removable seat cushion that provides exceptional comfort. It embodies everything we love about Martha Stewart's collection – including its timeless style, versatile colorway, and longevity.
Decorating with neutrals can come with the worry that your room will feel slightly vanilla, but when something has the right silhouette, you'll be left with nothing but pure, timeless style. It's a look that top designers practice, as Blanca Sanchez, the director at Halo Design Interiors, explains.
'Accent chairs have this incredible power to set the tone and personality of a room. They’re not just functional; they become these little works of art that instantly draw attention. While I absolutely love the idea of using bold, eye-catching patterns to make a statement, even a neutral chair can be a focal point if you choose the right shape and place it in the right spot,' Blanca comments.
'The trick is to build a backdrop that enhances the chair’s presence while reflecting your own personal style – whether that’s modern, classic, or a bit of an eclectic mix. I recently worked on a design where a leather-clad architectural chair immediately stood out. It wasn’t just the material but the sleek shape and luxurious finish that really brought it to life in the room. It was a perfect example of how the right accent piece can completely elevate a space.'
Another key to elevating the perfect accent chair comes down to your accessories. We recommend styling your chair (whether it's this one or a similar neutral piece) with colorful artwork, a throw, and cushions for elegant pockets of color.

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.
Pops of color and soft shapes are vibrant and inviting for a living space. It will look beautiful next to a neutral accent chair alongside an indoor plant or colorful vase.
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.
'It’s all about how you accessorize and arrange the nearby furnishings. The accessories guide the eye, mixing function with elegance, and layering lighting helps set the mood. A unique lamp, for example, can transform a simple corner into a charming reading nook,' Blanca adds.
'Don’t be afraid to take risks because those little details are what make an accent chair the real star of the room.'
