Chairs in the interior: style and species diversity

A huge assortment of chairs is presented on the modern market. Just look through the catalogs of furniture manufacturers to see this. And buyers on the spot can not always quickly make a choice. In order not to buy an unnecessary thing, going to the store, you need to immediately decide: where this chair should stand.

Types of chairs for the intended purpose

First of all, chairs are classified by the place where they will stand. So, chairs can be conditionally divided into:
  • office;
  • street / garden;
  • kitchen
  • dining rooms;
  • for other home spaces.
You need to make no mistake and choose the right kind of chairs.In this case, it is not the appearance of the piece of furniture that matters, but its functionality and the material from which it is made. So, the chairs intended for the street, should easily tolerate temperature extremes and high humidity. Garden furniture should not be upholstered with fabric. For kitchen chairs, the seats and backs are usually covered with material that can easily tolerate wet cleaning, while for furniture for the dining room and living room, on the contrary, velvet or velor, which has a very presentable appearance but is very poorly cleaned.

Popular materials

How comfortable and high-quality the chair will be depends on the characteristics of the material from which it is made. Today, chairs are made from:
  • natural wood;
  • rattan;
  • cane;
  • willow twigs;
  • metal;
  • veneer;
  • plastic;
  • glass.
A chair can be made of only one material, but often in one model several options are combined. Chairs made entirely of wood, which are called carpentry, have a large weight and a high price. The most expensive are chairs made of hardwood, softwood furniture is cheaper, but it is less durable and very bulky. Wood is an environmentally friendly material that is easily decorated, has a noble appearance and lasts a long time. Chairs for dining rooms and living rooms are often decorated with complex carvings and covered with gilding. These pieces of furniture become a real decoration of the interior. Veneer chairs are cheaper, have less weight, but look no worse than carpentry. Such chairs are characterized by high wear resistance, are not afraid of moisture, temperature extremes and direct sunlight. Veneer chairs, unlike wooden ones, do not crack. Garden furniture is made from willow, cane and rattan. Those who are looking for just such chairs, it is better to get acquainted with the reviews of each of these materials in detail. All wicker garden furniture does not have sharp corners, it is very durable and can easily endure the vagaries of the weather. Furniture made of cheap plastic is usually placed in the courtyard or used at outdoor events. A huge number of designer plastic molded chairs are presented, which are an order of magnitude higher. They fit perfectly into modern interiors, but can be deformed or scratched even with little mechanical impact. Plastic chairs are transparent, matte, multi-colored. The most durable are metal chairs. Chairs are often placed in the kitchen and in offices, in which the frame is made of stainless steel, and the back and seat are covered with artificial leather. In the garden and in the gazebo, you can put molded metal chairs with a wooden seat.

Chairs of different styles

Like all furniture, chairs can be made in popular interior styles:
  • Provence
  • Art Nouveau;
  • high tech;
  • classical;
  • loft;
  • Italian and many others.
Classic-style chairs are made of solid wood. They have arched legs, a twisted back, the seat is upholstered in velvet, tapestry or other expensive fabrics. Wood can be painted in ivory or noble brown, and some details are stained with gold. Compared to classic, Provence-style wooden chairs have a simpler shape. Usually, they are coated with blue, olive, pink, white paint or only varnished. Thin wrought-iron chairs will fit into the interiors of this style, on the seats of which bright pillows are laid. Chairs high-tech, modern, loft or other modern styles can be made of plastic, stainless steel or wood. Their main feature is the simplicity of forms and the absence of decorative elements. When buying chairs for your home, office or garden, you need to think carefully. The chair should fit in the style of the interior, be made of quality material and, most importantly, be comfortable and durable.
