Armchair with armrests in the interior of the kitchen

In small kitchens, stools are often used to decorate the dining area. A rare kitchen space can boast armchairs with armrests. This option is most often chosen by the owners of spacious kitchens, in which there is no need to save every meter of free space. Let's consider the main advantages and disadvantages of chairs, their types, and also give recommendations for choosing the optimal model.

Products with armrests differ in size. Due to their massiveness, they are not suitable for compact kitchens. This is the main feature of the model, which should be taken into account when decorating a room. If you still want to furnish the dining area with armchairs with armrests, it is advisable to give preference to folding models. They take up a minimum of space in the assembled position, and during transformation they turn into a full-fledged comfortable place for a sitting rest.

Kitchen chairs with armrests have the following advantages:

• a large assortment (soft, hard, combined, made in various design and color solutions - if you wish, everyone can choose a suitable model for themselves);
• comfort - a chair with an armrest is much more comfortable than a traditional stool;
• providing rest to the muscles of the arms at the expense of the armrests;
• solid appearance - the armchairs look stylish, they add solemnity and elegance to the interior.

There are several types of kitchen chairs with armrests. Such items are classified according to their softness. Rigid models are made of plastic or wood. This group also includes solutions with leather or fabric upholstery with a minimum filler thickness. In soft products, a filler is provided in the form of a thick layer of foam rubber, padding polyester, holofiber or springs. Such furniture without fail has fabric or leather upholstery.

Armchairs with armrests are stationary or folding with a berth. The latter can be transformed by transforming into a single sleeping bed. As a rule, such furniture is large in size. And also manufacturers offer a solution on one leg with the ability to adjust the seat height. This option is suitable for families with children.

Another interesting option is chair chairs. They have armrests that are fused with a soft sidewall or look like a loop. Such products are comfortable and light, but they are more massive and heavier than ordinary chairs.

Various materials are used to make the frame of the chair. Budgetary variations include plastic, chipboard or MDF with a layer of laminate or veneer. Plastic models are unpretentious in maintenance, they perfectly “resist” moisture and sudden temperature changes, but they are not suitable for all interior styles. Products made of chipboard or MDF differ in low cost, but they will not last long.

More expensive materials for the chair frame are metal and natural wood. Wooden models are environmentally friendly, visually attractive and durable due to impregnation with special compounds. Their only drawback is the high price.Metal solutions are durable and can withstand severe mechanical stress. Resistance to unfavorable kitchen conditions is another significant advantage of metal products.

Upholstery materials can be:

• natural or artificial leather;
• tapestry;
• jacquard;
• matting;
• microfiber.

Kitchen chairs with armrests come in a variety of colors. Models are produced in calm, gentle, pastel colors - beige, light brown, cream. These solutions are suitable for all types of kitchens. They are used to decorate rooms in classic, modern and other popular stylistic styles.

Chairs can also be:

• burgundy;
• blue;
• green;
• light green;
• yellow;
• brown;
• gray.

Black and white models do not lose their popularity. If it is difficult to choose the optimal color, you can opt for transparent products. They are associated with visual lightness, airiness. Transparent chairs will match any colors and finishes present in the kitchen.

When looking for kitchen chairs with armrests, it is important to know what to look for first. Let's figure out the selection criteria.

1. The degree of hardness. Soft items with upholstery are more comfortable, but they are much more difficult to care for than hard furniture. What to prefer is a purely individual decision. Here, everyone sets priorities for themselves.
2. Dimensions. Sizes should be selected taking into account the free space in the dining area and the size of each family member.
3. Design and color. Chairs should be in harmony with the rest of the furniture, curtains, floor or wall covering. Chairs can be chosen so that they act as a bright contrast against the background of household appliances or general decoration.
4. The quality of the upholstery. It is best to choose leather products, and with a limited budget - from leatherette. These materials are moisture resistant and easy to clean. For use in the kitchen, solutions with fluffy fabrics and materials that absorb odors are not suitable.
5. Price. As a rule, domestically produced models with similar quality are cheaper than foreign brands. If you need to save money, it is better to give preference to Russian furniture.

The chair should be comfortable. Before buying, it is recommended to sit in it, evaluating the reliability and stability empirically. You should also check the products for external damage, the strength and fixation of the fasteners.
