Different design features of chairs with a backrest and their design options allow all products to be divided into several types:
- High or low back.
- With a straight or curved back.
- Model without legs (in their usual form), which visually merge with the back.
- With or without armrests.
- Orthopedic, including with a reclining back.

- Products on wheels.
Such attributes can have a hard, soft and semi-soft back. Her choice will depend on the individual preferences of the buyer.
Materials (edit)
Depending on the style of the interior of which the chair with a backrest is selected, special attention is paid to its material of manufacture.
Such pieces of furniture can be made from the following materials:
- Wood. Suitable for many rooms, as wood is a versatile material. It looks respectable, practical and durable.
- Chipboard. In appearance it resembles a tree, however, it has a rough surface. Strong and inexpensive material, but toxic due to the formaldehyde emissions.
- MDF. Differs in environmental friendliness and reliability. Thanks to the smooth and even surface, you can carve or change the shape of an object.
- Iron. Such models are suitable for any modern interior. The metal frame is suitable for long-term use, but the service life of the entire product will depend on the upholstery.
- Plastic. It has a low cost and light weight, making it easy to carry from side to side or from room to room.
- Glass. Such chairs look unusual and interesting. Moreover, they are durable, as they are made of special glass.
There are also combined options in which two or more materials are combined at once.
Dimensions (edit)
The size of the chair, its seat and back will determine the convenience of its owner and guests. The standard parameters of the product in height will be as follows: from the back to the legs - about 95 cm, and from the seat to the legs - 45 cm. Other dimensions of the seat and back itself should be determined according to the individual parameters of a particular buyer.
If you like the rotating version, it is important to take into account the angle of the backrest - according to the standard, it should not exceed 5 cm. In addition, you should take into account the height of the table to which these products will be attached. If they are selected for children, many factors must be taken into account: their height, weight, the weight of the chair itself, which the kids can move around the room.
Colour
The color of the chair with a backrest will largely depend on the design of the room. The interior of pastel colors allows products in neutral shades: white, black, beige, brown. However, in modern rooms, a product can become a bright accent, which means that its color can be completely unexpected: pink, turquoise, lemon, etc.
The material of the item is also taken into account. Wooden models have the colors of wenge, walnut, alder and other species, glass ones are usually monochromatic, but plastic ones can even be painted in bright colors.
The form
Chairs with a back can have regular geometric shapes (square, oval, round, trapezoidal) or non-standard. The first option is more standard, therefore it is often used in everyday life. The second type of model is designer, so it will perfectly fit into modern interiors with a creative approach to choosing different items.
Type of
The variety of furniture designs allows you to purchase not only standard models, but also unusual and stylish ones. There are several types of products:
- "Vienna" chair. It has a firm seat and rounded shapes that emphasize its elegance and sophistication. It can be seen in classic and modern style.
- Semi-chair. Already by its name, it can be determined that such a chair looks like an armchair in appearance. This impression is made thanks to the small armrests and the wide padded seat.
- Throne. Slightly echoes the previous model, but with a high back, which gives the whole product greatness.
- Poof. A very comfortable attribute, because it has a soft seat and back. In addition, the backrest can "merge" with the armrests and smoothly transition into the legs.
Such chairs must be selected for the interior of the room and taking into account their individual characteristics and needs.
Style
A prerequisite for choosing an attribute is the coincidence of its style with the style of an apartment or house. At the same time, it is necessary to know the features of each direction. Popular styles include:
- Classic. Always in trend. Massiveness is inherent in this direction. Typically, these items are made of wood with possible metallic details.
- Baroque. Round-shaped chairs with curved legs are the main features of the direction. These items have a luxurious and elegant look.
- Hi-tech, minimalism. Straight lines and material of manufacture are important here: metal, plastic, glass.
- Modern. It is the golden mean of classic and modern style, so the shapes can be completely different.
Rustic trends suggest "antique" chairs, while such antiquity is done deliberately.

Decor and design
The backrest in a chair is a great decor element. It can be decorated with a canvas made of any kind of fabric, while it is necessary to take into account where the product will be located: in the bedroom, nursery, kitchen, etc. In some models, large bows act as decor, such additions made of satin material are popular. Metal pieces of furniture can have a wrought-iron back in the form of a vine, small flowers and other elements.
Since chairs with a backrest can be matched to any style direction of the room, their design is varied. These can be regular shapes with clear lines, as well as unusual, smooth, curved shapes with bright shades of some details or the entire attribute. Modern options have a more interesting design, since additional decorative elements are allowed for them.
Components
The accessories of a chair with a backrest play an important role in everyday life, since without them it is impossible to repair or change the design of an attribute. The main components are a frame, which can be metal or wood, and a seat made of fabric, leather or its substitute. It is also possible to purchase backrests: they allow you to sit comfortably in the chair, especially if your back is very tired.
How to choose?
When choosing chairs with a back, you need to decide for which room they are needed.This is important, because the kitchen will have high humidity and constant temperature fluctuations, so the materials for the manufacture of attributes should not deform or deteriorate under external influences, and should also be easily cleaned of dirt.
To purchase a comfortable model that fits perfectly into the interior, you should consider the following points:
- Design. For classic-style rooms, glass products or metal options are absolutely inappropriate, and wooden attributes do not fit into high-tech. Both the chair and the room must be in harmony with each other to create a comfortable atmosphere.
- The weight. If there is a need to move this piece of furniture frequently, it is better if it is lightweight. A massive piece is difficult to reposition and can scratch the floor.
- Dimensions: backrest height, seat depth and width should all be tailored to the needs of the purchaser to avoid discomfort.
- Another important parameter is color scheme... The chair should not only harmoniously combine with the surrounding objects, but also be pleasant to the perception. In addition, even an ordinary highchair can become a highlight of the interior thanks to the well-chosen color.
Sedentary work or constant physical activity can lead to back problems. In this case, it is better to immediately choose for yourself special models to support your back and spine. These are orthopedic attributes that, in addition to being comfortable, provide good treatment.
If the back is severely numb, there are products with shock absorption - it allows you to lean on the back and tilt it a few degrees. In the absence of support, the backrest returns to its original position.
Advantages and disadvantages
Appearance plays an important role when choosing a chair with a back, but its convenience is also important.
These models have a number of advantages over others:
- The backrest allows you to lean on it, which is beneficial for the spine.
- The same backrest is a great element for decoration.
- There are foldable models that you can hide after using them.
- Stability.
However, such attributes also have disadvantages: they are not suitable for small rooms, because they fill most of the space with themselves, and also do not give the opportunity to fully turn around while sitting in a chair.
