Which wooden chairs to choose?

Every detail is important in the interior, therefore, making up a harmonious ensemble, nothing should be left without attention. No home is complete without items such as chairs. Modern manufacturers make them from a variety of materials, but wooden models have always been and remain the most popular and high-quality ones.

The fashion for interior items is constantly changing. What was terribly popular yesterday has lost its relevance today. Only the fashion for high-quality and environmentally friendly wood models remains unchanged.

Sturdy and durable chairs made of wood have a wonderful appearance. Natural shades and textured prints of natural solid wood look especially attractive and harmonious in many interiors. Such details can enliven the atmosphere and make it more comfortable.

In addition, wooden products can be supplied in ensembles of different styles. Correctly selected designs will organically fit not only into classic, but also modern or pompous interiors. This fact once again confirms the versatility of natural material.

Many consumers opt for wooden chairs, since such raw materials are environmentally friendly and absolutely safe for human health. Nowadays, not all pieces of furniture can boast of such qualities. For example, cheap laminated chipboard products contain hazardous formaldehyde resins that evaporate at high temperatures. Natural wood does not have such serious drawbacks, so solid wood chairs can be safely placed even in children's bedrooms, without worrying about the health of the little owners.

It is also worth noting the unpretentiousness of natural wood in terms of combining with other materials. Chairs made of solid wood can be decorated and supplemented with details from glass, metal, plastic, leather (natural or artificial) and even elements of artistic forging.

High-quality furniture made from natural materials boasts durability and wear resistance... Beautiful wooden chairs will serve you for a very long time and will delight you with an attractive appearance if you provide them with decent care. This issue cannot be neglected, otherwise the product may lose its original shape.

There are no serious flaws in such interior items. However, many consumers feel that wooden structures require too much care in terms of maintenance.

Another disadvantage of solid wood furniture is its high cost. Of course, you can find more affordable models on the market (for example, chairs made of pine or birch), but if you want to purchase an aristocratic and solid version of oak, beech or hevea, then you will have to leave a decent amount in the store.

Currently, the furniture market recommends to consumers a variety of attractive and practical chairs made from natural wood. Let's take a closer look at what modern manufacturers offer us.

First of all, all wooden chairs by seat type can be divided into soft and hard. In the first versions, the seat is supplemented with padded upholstery. Rigid specimens do not have such equipment and, as a rule, are not sheathed with fabrics or leather.

Also, wooden chairs differ from each other in their design and purpose in the interior.

• Recently, beautiful bar stools have become very popular. These options are often complemented by elegant leather upholstery and consist of a small round seat and an additional footrest. If earlier such models looked too unusual in a home environment, today they can be found quite often in the interior of a kitchen or a bar corner in an apartment or a private house.

• Folding wooden models with a backrest are recognized as very convenient to use. They are compact and lightweight, so they can be moved at any time, for example, from the kitchen to the living room. Especially often owners of small-sized housing turn to folding structures.

• Transforming structures are considered no less useful and practical. They can also be made from natural wood or more readily available materials such as chipboard or MDF. Transforming chairs can combine several functional elements at once. For example, it can be a small folding table top and a retractable backrest.

• If you want to emphasize the elegance and grace of the classic style in the interior, then you should take a closer look at the attractive chairs with curved legs. Often, similar products have the same curved backs and armrests. Exquisite pieces, treated with varnish or covered with gilding, look especially stylish and rich.

• Wooden chairs look organically in the bath as well. For this, not only the standard version with a back and armrests is suitable, but also a laconic compact stool. Linden structures are best suited for a bath, since this type of wood does not overheat, easily withstands temperature changes and humidity, and also has a pleasant texture.

• Wooden chairs on a metal frame are reliable and durable. In such products, as a rule, the seat and backrest consist of an array, and the rest of the parts (base, armrests and legs) are made of wear-resistant metal. It can be either matte or chrome. Such interior solutions look interesting and stylish.

Today on the furniture market there is a wide variety of quality and attractive chairs, suitable not only for any interior, but also for the buyer's budget. The price of furniture is influenced not only by its design, but also by the material from which it is made. The following raw materials are used in the production of sustainable timber structures:

• Most often, chairs are made from ash, hevea, oak, maple, walnut, alder, rattan, cherry and other popular species. These copies are not cheap, but they boast excellent performance and a long service life. Options from pine or birch will cost the buyer a little cheaper. But don't let the low price scare you, as it does not mean the low quality of such models. Everything is explained only by the fact that birch and pine in our country do not belong to valuable species and grow very well.

• Also, in the manufacture of wooden chairs, reliable metal frames are often used. Such structures are durable and durable. They are not subject to mechanical damage and deformation. In addition, metal structures with wooden fittings can be supplied in many classic as well as modern interiors.

• Often, wooden chairs are complemented by various upholstery. The most expensive and elegant option is genuine leather.This material boasts excellent appearance, wear resistance, strength and durability. If you are not ready to overpay for such a model, then it is quite possible to get by with a more affordable option with leatherette lining. Unfortunately, such raw materials are inferior to natural ones in terms of their strength and durability, but often they look absolutely identical. Eco-leather is a more modern and high-tech material. It is more attractive and elastic than leatherette, but it is quite easy to damage it due to its thin structure.

This characteristic is especially relevant if you are going to place such furniture in the kitchen or in the hallway.

• Models with fabric upholstery look no less attractive. These options are cheaper, but more demanding to maintain. It is much more difficult to remove dirty and dusty marks from a woven surface and it is not worth pulling with this, since it will be even more difficult to get rid of defects that have eaten into the structure of the material.

The wooden chair can be painted in a wide variety of colors.

• Products in white, black and brown shades are classic. As a rule, these chairs look harmonious in almost any interior. However, options for a dense black shade should be used more carefully and placed in lighter and neutral interiors.
• If you love natural shades, then you should take a closer look at unpainted options. These chairs stand out from the interior thanks to their natural pattern and natural color.

• Expensive and luxurious specimens of mahogany look. Often, these chairs are placed in artsy and pompous ensembles.
• Light designer models in pastel shades (beige, peach, caramel, light brown) can be placed on either a contrasting or similar neutral background. The main thing is to dilute the second interiors with bright details so that the image of the room does not seem boring and monotonous.

There are several types of wooden chairs:

• Classic. Models with seat, backrest, legs (straight or curved) and armrests.
• Bar... In many ways, they are similar to the classic options, but the back in them, as a rule, is lower, like the armrests, and the legs are complemented by a small foot.
• Armchair chair. These designs are very similar to a real chair. Often they have round backs, which are finished with the same material as the seat.

• Stools. These designs do not have backrests or armrests. They only have a seat and legs with an additional rail.
• Non-standard. Non-standard interior options can be made in the form of letters, animals, wooden sculptures or details from fairy tales.

For a classic interior, the best choice would be a wooden chair with curved legs and a back, painted in a light or dark shade. It is advisable to choose lacquered specimens. Also in the classics, products decorated with carvings will look organically.

For styles such as vintage, provence and shabby chic, similar designs will work, but their appearance should be more modest. You can choose artificially aged models with worn surfaces or antique old options.

In a rustic country style, you can arrange slightly sloppy unpainted chairs with a pronounced wood structure. They can also simulate a poorly finished surface with uneven and unpolished lines.

The Art Nouveau interior should be complemented by laconic but elegant and graceful chairs. It is not necessary to select too fanciful options. For a modernist direction, discreet but sophisticated specimens are more suitable.

For the "attic" loft style, almost any wooden chair is suitable. It can be artificially aged, with the addition of metal parts, high-quality polished, painted or unpainted - all of the above options will look organic in such an ensemble.

Solid wood chairs can be decorated with a wide variety of details. For example, it can be:

• graceful carved inserts;
• artificially aged surfaces;
• gold plated or silver plated coatings;
• curved legs and armrests;
• elements of artistic forging;
• decorative upholstery of seats.

Wooden structures will look organic in almost any interior. It can be either a classic or a modern ensemble. For example, elegant threaded options, devoid of metal or plastic parts, will fit into a classic setting, while items with metal and chrome structures (frame or decor) can be placed in a high-tech interior.

Such options can be placed in interiors such as country, shabby chic or vintage. It is not at all necessary to age the whole room in order to correctly beat them. It is enough to pick up "old" decor items and not too bright finishing materials.

Original chairs of avant-garde shapes can breathe life into even boring and monotonous interiors. But you should not place such models in classical and strict ensembles, so as not to achieve a noticeable dissonance.

Chairs should match the interior not only in style, but also in shade. Many contrasting solutions also look good. For example, a gloomy black wooden specimen is best placed on a snow-white or beige background.

Selecting quality wooden chairs should be based on the following guidelines:

• Pay attention to the frame... It should be as reliable and durable as possible.
• Pay attention to the legs... They must be no less than 25x25 mm.
• It is advisable to select models coated with varnish... They look more interesting and are more protected from negative external factors.
• Pay attention to the reliability and strength of the fastening... This applies not only to the main parts (backrest, armrests and legs), but also to various mechanisms, as is the case with the height-adjustable chair.
• Don't forget about product design... It should match the main ensemble in shade and stylistic direction.

Wooden structures do not require complex maintenance, but without it they will lose their former beauty. They need to be treated with special antiseptic agents from time to time. These protect the natural material from aggressive sunlight, drying out, cracking and the appearance of scuffs.

Aggressive chemicals (and even soapy water) should never be used.
