Chairs for the kitchen with armrests - subtleties of choice

Furniture is usually chosen last when designing. It makes sense - there is a large selection of kitchen sets, tables and chairs in stores. You can always choose what you like. But if stools are more often purchased for small kitchens, then more interesting furniture, for example, chairs with armrests, can be allowed for large rooms.

Depending on the appearance, design, height, all chairs for the kitchen are divided into several types.

• Classical the kitchen version without armrests has a standard seat depth and backrest;

• By the stool there are no back and armrests, it slides freely under the table;

• Bar the chair can be in the form of a stool, a classic chair, or a chair with armrests. A distinctive feature is the height of the legs;

• Child the highchair is a special design with a backrest that fixes children;

• Dining a chair with armrests (an armchair or a half-chair) is the most comfortable of all types, since it has a backrest and a place for a comfortable position of the hands, but also the largest one.

Dining chairs are made from many materials, which allows them to be beautifully presented in the interior of the kitchen.

• Wooden chairs - an expensive, but beautiful option that allows you to use such furniture in kitchens of the corresponding style. The varnished wood will last a long time.
• Rattan allows you to weave unusually beautiful things and make the kitchen cozy and homely. The strength of the rattan will allow you to make quality furniture, and additional seat cushions will make them even more comfortable.

• Chairs from a metal frame can be completely made of metal or combined with another material. Most often, it is this furniture that is equipped with wheels for free movement of heavy chairs.
• Plastic chairs are in demand both among apartment owners and owners of country houses and summer cottages. They are represented by the widest assortment. But cheap options have an unpleasant smell and are fragile enough.

• Furniture made of composite materials the most affordable in terms of price and quality, although not very durable.
• Chair from veneered MDF very similar to wood, but no curvilinear decor is made on it.
• Painted MDF is perhaps the most elegant, but not resistant to mechanical damage. Therefore, the seat is combined with metal legs.

• Laminated chipboard Is a popular budget chair for the kitchen. Since the laminate can have a completely unusual color, it will not be difficult to choose chairs for any decor.
• Tempered glass semi-chairs - a very beautiful solution for a large kitchen with a glass table. Such glass is hypoallergenic, easy to clean, odorless. The special technique of staining glass "Lacobel" will allow you to purchase not only transparent chairs, but also furniture of bright colors. For ease of use, you can put pillows or skins on the seats.

The convenience of a dining chair directly depends on its size. It should be free and comfortable both for the back and arms and legs. The dining table should be high enough to rest your feet completely on the floor, with your lower leg and thigh at a 90-degree angle. Bar stools should have a footrest for this purpose. Height adjustable models help to change seat height.

The depth of a standard seat is usually 40-45 cm, then the edge of the chair will not rest under the knees. The standard width is also about 40 cm. If the standard depth suits many, then the width must be selected individually before purchasing, especially since a chair with an armrest may be inconvenient because of this parameter. The back is made vertically straight or at an angle of 2-5 degrees. For people with a sore back, this indicator is very important, as is the softness of the dining chair.

The color choice of semi-chairs should be in harmony with the rest of the furniture, curtains, flooring, walls. Chairs can be a link between all objects or a bright accent on the general background. You can solve the problem of the color of dining chairs by using covers, capes, seat cushions or replacing the upholstery of an upholstered chair.

The chosen color will help to present the design idea favorably:

• In a wooden kitchen, chairs can have natural colors like wood, wenge, but can be painted with acrylic white paint, imitating antiquity.
• Bright colored chairs will make the kitchen sunny, rainbow, uplifting. The main thing is not to overdo it with a variety of colors. Custom purple is balanced out by dark green. But the combination of purple and blue will place color accents in a completely different way, depending on the amount of a particular color.

• White chairs will suit, perhaps, any interior. Black - to many. But the combination of white and black is a timeless classic that makes the kitchen exquisitely noble.
• Orange chairs "sunshine" will make the kitchen cozy and warm. Yellows will be very beautiful and unexpectedly combined with reds.
• The blue color causes appetite, and in large quantities - apathy. So, you need to choose the golden mean, which will make the kitchen a place of relaxation.

• Light green armchairs with armrests (soft upholstery, flowers) will add tranquility to the interior. The combination of light green and lilac will accentuate such upholstery.
• It is better to liven up burgundy chairs with a powder color (perhaps a shade of pink) or contrast with light green or lemon.
• Small kitchens need a competent combination of light and dark. What gets dirty the most (hobs, work tables) can be dark, but curtains, chairs - light, for example, a brown stove and table in combination with beige or cream curtains and dining chairs.

If it is difficult to decide on the choice of color or the decoration of the kitchen is of complex colors, then you can purchase transparent furniture. It will relieve the color gamut of the room and visually increase the space.

Dining chairs with armrests are available in three types.

• Soft: medium soft seat, back and armrests for a comfortable seating position at the dining table.

• Hard: construction made entirely of solid materials. They are easy to care for, they are durable, but it is uncomfortable to sit on them for a long time.

• Combined: the seat (and / or armrests, back), on which a natural or artificial soft layer is placed, is upholstered with dense fabric or leather. These chairs are comfortable to sit on, but they need additional care, sometimes replacement of the upholstery.

Soft chairs in the kitchen fail faster, as they absorb odors, lose their elasticity, are exposed to dirt, but it is much more comfortable to sit on them. For the upholstery of dining chairs, materials of different degrees of strength are used: from less durable lightweight chenille, thermohacquard, cotton, scotchguard to genuine leather.

This also includes the following:

• Arpatek and eco-leather (artificial leather options);
• Pork or calf leather (an option for inexpensive genuine leather);
• Dense chenille, chenille jacquard, suede, tapestry (representatives of dense fabrics).

The choice of upholstery depends on the expected amount of dirt: a colored tapestry for small children and animals will be a temptation. Therefore, the following requirements are imposed for upholstery: moisture-repellent properties or ease of care of the material, as well as durability.

By type of construction, kitchen chairs are classified as follows:

• Monolithic (suitable for large kitchens),
• Folding (they will help out in a small apartment, since extra chairs can be folded and removed from the kitchen),
• Stackable (convenient for cleaning, but there are few such models among chairs with armrests).

How many eras and centuries people have lived through, so many styles of furniture exist. They are distinguished by simplicity and pretentiousness, functionality and convenience.

• Classic the chairs are wood. But then the concept of "classic" can be read in different ways: classic can be called hard wooden chairs with armrests from the Soviet past, but a half-chair with carved white legs, blue floral tapestry and the same back is a vivid example of the original classical style.
• "Provence" - this is also a tree, but without pretentiousness. The seat may have a small cushion trimmed with canvas or in a floral cover. The chair itself can be a natural color or covered in white patina acrylic paint.

• Scandinavian the style was originally represented only by wood, now both plastic and metal are used. In any case, conciseness, simplicity, a certain severity are important.
• It seems that in japanese style chairs are not particularly honored. But they have very interesting models of dining chairs with familiar legs, as well as without them, but with a back and armrests. The Japanese use natural wood colors, but do not forget national motives.

• Oriental the style is similar to Japanese, but brighter, more colorful. Although there are more familiar options. There are both hard semi-chairs and soft and combined ones.
• High tech - this is chrome steel, glass, possibly plastic. In the general interior of the kitchen, it will look mesmerizing, but it is difficult to combine with other styles.

• Modern styles like bright plastic, glass. Depending on the style, an explosion of colors or a laconic minimum of color can be used.
• Vienna chairs are beech wood bent under steam, from which elegant furniture is made.

There can be several reasons for decorating dining chairs.

• Desire to give a uniform look to the kitchen.
• The need to update the interior.
• The desire to decorate a room for a specific event in a specific style (for example, meeting the year of the red rooster).

Covers can be knitted, including themed ones, for example, New Year's caps or snowmen. In addition, for the New Year, you can decorate the chairs themselves with tinsel, unbreakable Christmas tree decorations and small gifts for guests. The child's chair can be decorated with a pattern on the seat or back. In order for the paint to last longer, it must be covered with furniture varnish.

Having got used to the classic furniture arrangement (all chairs must be the same), it is difficult to imagine other design options. Nevertheless, they are.

• All chairs can be of different designs: with or without backs, with or without armrests, different designs, but they are made in the same color.
• The opposite option is chairs of the same design - with armrests, but in different colors.

• All chairs can be made of the same material, but at the same time in a different design solution.
• Dining chairs can be of the same or different colors, but always contrasting different designs to give the impression of lightness of the side chairs and the heaviness of the end ones.
• Due to the height of the backrest, you can play with different chairs in an interesting way.

• All chairs can be made in the same style, but at the same time be different in design, color, upholstery.
• Among the group of chairs around the dining table, one chair is accentuated, that is, of a different design or color.

Having understood the types, types and materials used in the manufacture of chairs with armrests, you can start choosing. Space around the dining table will be one of the deciding factors, but there are others.

You need to think about the following characteristics:

• Price;
• Material;
• Design;
• Construction type;

• Strength;
• Convenience;
• Resistant to moisture;

• Care method;
• Mobility;
• Compliance with the interior.

The reasons for a kitchen chair with armrests are:

• Sitting comfortably;
• Give solemnity;
• They look solid.

But there is a drawback that can outweigh: the need for a lot of space. Only folding types of structures are suitable for small kitchens.

There are several manufacturers that consumers speak about most often:

• Italian Dall agnese made in the style of the Middle Ages. Buyers like them for their convenience and comfortable stay.
• Eames DSW Is a variety of chairs with typical leg designs. Buyers note the minimalism in design and durability of the semi-chairs.
• Eco-leather products of the company "Aura" buyers love the quality of the finish and the convenience.
• About Belarusian chairs positive reviews only about beauty, but the quality is lagging behind.
• Theodore alexander (USA) offers a completely unusual design of dining chairs, which is noted by customers.

A large family will be happy to sit at a large table on these chairs with removable cushions, because they embody rustic peace and comfort.

The combination of classic and industrial style is an unusual find of the designer.

Equally white, but completely different in design, country style chairs will perfectly decorate the kitchen and dining room in this style.

Coziness, tranquility, tranquility - that's what we see in this interior, where wicker armchairs and bar stools have successfully found a place for themselves.
