Chair-thrones: interesting models and use in the interior

Despite the dominance of minimalism in modern fashion, expensive classicism or baroque furniture will always find its buyer. Royal armchairs, reminiscent of a throne, perfectly complement the elite interiors of luxury homes and apartments. Also, a throne chair can successfully fit into the atmosphere of a beauty salon or even an office. The main thing is that it fits the general style of the room design.

The advantages of such an acquisition are as follows.

• Luxurious view. Expensive and pleasant to the touch materials, exquisite design and high quality workmanship cannot leave indifferent a connoisseur of status furniture.
• Convenience. With a wide seat, high back and large armrests, you literally drown in this comfortable chair.

The disadvantages are as follows.

• The throne chair will not be able to "make friends" with any interior. Its other elements must also meet certain requirements - match the style, or at least match the design of the room as a whole.
• When planning to make such a purchase, evaluate the dimensions of your premises. You will need space, since in a too cramped room, such status furniture will not look majestic, but strange.
• High price. If you have your eyes on such a chair, then you will have to spend a lot of money on it.

The frame, legs and other elements of the throne chair are made of expensive wood - red or black. They have high aesthetic qualities, serve for a long time and allow carvers to embody their artistic design. In ancient times, a throne could resemble a wooden box with a back, but over time, its design became more complex and more comfortable. With the light hand of the French, medieval models received soft upholstery. We list the main materials that are relevant for the finishing of thrones today.

• Velvet. This fabric, pleasant to the touch, does not have high wear resistance, however, velvet has firmly established itself in the leaders of finishing materials for this furniture.

• Jacquard. Combines matte and glossy yarns, alternating between different patterns. It can suffer from the claws of pets, so it needs to be treated with an "anti-claw".

• Leather. You don't have to worry about the quality of such a chair, and the practicality of the material is beyond doubt.

• Natural silk. Does not wrinkle much, dense and tough, may shimmer in the light. Undoubtedly, a beautiful option for the upholstery of a throne chair.

Next, let's talk about the styles that the throne chair can fit well.

The throne chair is simply designed to be part of the lush baroque interior. In this case, you will not particularly have to rack your brains over the compatibility of this and other furniture, because this direction provides an opportunity for an endless flight of imagination.

This direction dictates more modest outlines and lighter shades. Also, the back of the chair should be lower, smoothed corners and smooth lines are welcome. There should be no overkill in the finish.

Since elements of natural dark wood are one of the most important attributes of this style, a massive throne chair will be quite appropriate in it. The main thing is to correctly choose the design of the room as a whole. In order not to overload the already heavy design made in this direction, use models with the maximum emphasis on upholstery.

A good solution for him would be a throne chair with a hood. Silk patterns or fabric will help to fit it into the general mood of the room even more organically.

More brutal models, similar to chairs, will perfectly complement the Gothic interior. They are characterized by a carving without gilding and a back in the form of an arch. Less fabric and more wood - a chair in this style should comply with these rules.

The dimensions of the chair-thrones vary considerably. Here are examples of some of the most popular models in different sizes.
