If earlier the choice of such interior items was limited to soft corners and coffee tables, then at present there are many attractive and comfortable chairs, which also look harmonious in the hall. Let's take a closer look at such interesting furniture.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any other piece of furniture, the chair-chair has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of such furniture include:

  • Attractive and solid design. Such unobtrusive detail can transform the interior and make it more elegant. The main thing is to choose a model of a suitable style and the ensemble will turn out to be very presentable.

The listed advantages of chairs make them very popular and in demand among modern consumers. However, this furniture has its drawbacks. First of all, it is worth noting that it will hardly be convenient for a person with a large build because of the space constrained by the armrests to sit on such products. However, to cope with this problem is quite possible, picking up a wider model.

Also, acquiring such interior items, you should consider that their dimensions are very different from the parameters of classic chairs and stools.

Many of them look no less than standard soft chairs, so it is recommended to place them in more spacious rooms.

Kinds

Modern chairs are available in various versions. Let us consider in more detail the popular varieties of such comfortable furniture.

First of all, all models of chairs, chairs differ in place of installation. They can be placed both at home and in the office:

  • Home Interiors ModelsAs a rule, they have softer and smoother lines, as well as elegant legs made of wood (without wheels). The colors of these chairs are often pastel, neutral and soft. They are also often complemented by beautiful patterned prints. Such attractive furnishings look great not only in the living room, but also in the dining area, in the kitchen or in the bedroom.
  • As for office copies, they are most often produced on wheels, which makes them as mobile as possible. Most of these "business" models have a neutral and inconspicuous color design, devoid of bright prints or elegant patterns.
  • In a separate category, you can make children's chairs with comfortable armrests.These options are also often equipped with small wheels and differ from classic home or office products in a softer seat and a positive color scheme, which looks great in a nursery room.
  • Special attention should be paid to such an interior item as rocking chair. Such models are ideal for a person who wants to sit comfortably in a comfortable chair and relax. You can put such furniture not only in a city apartment, but also in a country house or in a country house.

In addition, this comfortable furniture varies in the degree of rigidity of the seat and armrests. Based on these criteria, we can distinguish three types of chairs, chairs:

  • Hard. Such species have sufficiently solid armrests (most often made of wood), a seat and a backrest.
  • Soft. These chairs are equipped with upholstery leather or fabric, hiding the filler.
  • Combined. In such structures, upholstered upholstery can be framed only for a certain detail, for example, a back or a seat. The remaining elements remain rigid.
  • Modern chairs, chairs also differ from each other in the number of legs.

Standard are products with four supports, but in the modern furniture market there are also instances with three and one legs, complemented by wheels.

Material

Chairs are made from a variety of materials: from cheap plastic to expensive natural wood:

  • Wooden copies today are very popular, as they are environmentally friendly, and not all modern furniture can boast of such quality. In the production of high-quality and attractive chairs, such wood species as oak, beech, hevea, alder, pine, birch, maple and mahogany are used. Such products look very beautiful and expensive, however, they require special care. From time to time, natural wood should be treated with special protective compounds, without which it can crack and crack with time. It should also be noted that such furniture often has an unattractive price tag and not every buyer can afford it.
  • Cheaper cost chairs-chairs from MDF and chipboard. These materials are the same wear-resistant and durable as natural wood, but inferior to natural material in appearance and environmental qualities. It should be mentioned here that cheap LDSP is completely toxic because it contains formaldehyde resins that negatively affect human health. It is possible to neutralize such a harmful effect of such cheap furniture using veneered versions or products made of chipboard E1.
  • The cheapest are plastic chairs chairs. This material is durable and resistant to rotting. However, it is worth considering that even the highest quality plastic is not designed for heavy loads. In addition, experts recommend buying furniture only from high-quality plastic, which does not have in its composition of hazardous chemical compounds.
  • The leaders in strength and durability are armchairs on metal frame. Such furniture is not subject to deformation, is not afraid of temperature changes and looks quite stylish and attractive. The disadvantage of metal chairs is the fact that they, as a rule, have an impressive weight and do not differ in mobility.Also, the metal will always remain cold, and touching it (by accident or on purpose) will not be very pleasant.

For upholstery of chairs, the following materials are used:

  • Genuine Leather. Leather chairs look rich, are durable and durable, but are expensive.
  • Leatherette This material is coarser and has a texture that differs from natural raw materials. High-quality leatherette looks presentable, but does not withstand temperature changes, cracks with time and loses its presentation.
  • Eco-leather Such upholstery is softer and more elastic than the leatherette trim. Eco-leather is easy to dye, so a semi-chair with a similar design can be chosen for any ensemble. Its disadvantage is the susceptibility to mechanical damage due to its fine structure.
  • The cloth. Woven chairs look soft and attractive. Most often, such furniture is finished with velvet, chenille, velvet and even silk.

The size

All chairs can be divided into wide and narrow, depending on the direct dimensions of the seat:

  • Models with armrests that differ in the width of the seat mats of less than 45 cm, belong to the narrow versions.
  • If the seat of a chair exceeds 50 cm, then it can be safely attributed to wide specimens.

Also, the chair-chair can be high or low. This parameter is measured by the length of the back:

  • High specimens with armrests are equipped with backs of 40 cm.
  • The backs of the low half-seats do not exceed a height of 35-38 cm.

The form

Classic chairs are round chairs. However, there are angular square products. Both of these options look attractive and organic, especially if you choose for them the appropriate style interior.

In style

Consider the most popular stylistics:

  • For the interior in style classic Suitable model of natural wood. It can be decorated with discreet carved details. It is recommended to give preference to curved and more elegant options.
  • In style provence should also have chairs made of wood. It is better to choose a breed of light or pastel shades with a pronounced structure and pattern of natural material. Upholstery can be decorated with charming floral prints.
  • For minimalistic the interior will be the best solid chairs,devoid of decorative elements and colorful inserts. The simpler the furniture will look, the better it will fit into the minimalist style interior.
  • For contemporary The ensemble in the direction of high-tech ideal would be a futuristic chair-chair on a metal frame. The material can be both opaque and chrome. As for the upholstery, it is better to choose models with a single-color woven or leather trim.
  • Rustic style country music It will look organically coarse wooden chair with poorly treated surfaces.

It is best to select products with woven upholstery, decorated with rural motifs or not too bright prints.

Design

The chair-chair looks very elegant and rich, so with its help you can make the interior more presentable and solid. For example, a luxury model, stylized antique, is able to complete and decorate an ensemble in retro or vintage style.

Luxury specimens with velvet upholstery have a truly royal look. Particularly attractive and elegant look options, decorated with a carriage fastener. Such furniture can be put both in classical, and in more progressive ensemble.

Elegant models with curved legs and graceful lines of armrests / backs can soften the interior of the living room, giving it a more gentle and “smooth” look. If you want to introduce into the hall a more angular and coarse model, then you should take a closer look at the structures of regular geometric shapes, devoid of elegant wavy strokes.

How to choose?

Before buying a chair, you need to decide exactly where you will place it and how you will use it. If you are looking for a model for a child, it is better to choose a mobile rotating option or a stable structure with four legs.

For the workplace, it is recommended to choose chairs of neutral and calm tones. For the purpose of working in the office or at home, it is also better to purchase a product with wheels. The design with height adjustment will be very useful and convenient.

In search of a suitable model, rely on the color and stylistic design of the interior in which the chair will be located.

Do not neglect this recommendation, otherwise the ensemble may turn out to be inharmonious.
