Loft style chair design

The choice of furniture for many people becomes not a pleasant pastime, but a very painful process. The sheer variety of designs and designs offered by manufacturers and suppliers is simply confusing. But choosing good loft-style chairs is not so difficult. You just need to take into account the simplest principles.

The idea of ​​what exactly should be loft-style furniture is often mistaken. It is believed that this direction is suitable only for large spaces without a single internal partition, that it is extremely rude and assertive. This is far from the case: with a skillful approach, it is possible to demonstrate a delicate aesthetic taste, create a beautiful and attractive atmosphere.

Loft - creative style. It is characterized not only by space, but also by the use of old objects that carry the atmosphere of the past decades. For example, an old armchair, which is already well worn out, and an ultra-fashionable sofa that were assembled at the factory only a few weeks or months ago are harmoniously combined with each other. Chairs will also enter this setting, you just need to take care of their compliance with the accepted concept.

Most often, gray, brick and brown colors are used in loft-style interiors. Black and white paints also fit well into them.

Furniture, assembled from scrap material, fully expresses the spirit of the interior. Both amateur manufacturers and professionals look for it in abandoned hangars and warehouses, in attics and basements, in factories, factories and workshops abandoned by people.

Old pallets or boards covered with a layer of peeling paint, cracked from long-term use, are widely used.

The loft style requires that there is not too much furniture in the room, and that its arrangement is as free as possible. It is advisable to choose options that will stand in the center of the room. Or, on the contrary, they will move very tightly to the closet, sofa, bed, freeing up the rest of the space.

It is not at all necessary to be limited to one tree only. Metal structures and individual elements embody the features of this style just as well. White to an icy shade of chrome and very old-looking metal are excellent. Often, concrete or parts made of untreated natural stone are introduced into such an interior.

What categorically should not be, so it is emphasized expensive coatings and solutions. No marble or imitation, no gilding. Many types of plastics also fall under the ban, because the main idea of ​​the loft is to reproduce the industrial atmosphere. And in real plants and factories, PVC is not used for decoration - it is impractical, fire hazardous and toxic.

Instead of ordinary boards, it is more appropriate to use deck boards coated with matte varnish or solid wood. This will add originality to the interior.

Also in the manufacture of loft-style chairs are used:

• chipboards;
• polycarbonate sheets;
• acrylic;
• leather and natural fabrics of dense varieties (when creating a skin);
• natural and artificial stone;
• metal.

Vintage is expressed in the use of white and brown, gray and beige colors. If you are going to make a room in the spirit of a modern version of the loft, it is quite possible to put there a chair in orange, bright green or deep pink colors.

The contrast of gray textured surfaces and bright blue, bright red leather upholstery looks very stylish. When the walls are lined with white brick or decorated like it, it is more correct to use white wood for chairs.

As for the seating area, be guided only by your own convenience. It will be uncomfortable to sit on a chair that is too small and narrow, and too large will clutter up the space in vain. The originality of the appearance is achieved through the selection of the sheathing. Also sometimes the shape of the handles and backs varies.

Fashionable loft-style chairs decorated with stone will also look spectacular in the "attic" interior. The material can be both decorative and natural. As a rule, these models look massive, but also very original. It is impossible not to pay attention to these details when you find yourself in such an interior.

Chairs in the loft style in the living room and office, it is advisable to take with an inclined back. In these rooms, products will look good both from wood and on a metal frame made of pipes. For a common room, wooden solutions are much better, especially if they are complemented by a backrest and armrests. When evaluating the fabric of the upholstery, always make sure that it is pleasant to touch it - this is a very important point.

The leather trim is elegant and more resistant than even the toughest fabric to spilled coffee or tea.

When adding loft-style chairs to the bar counter, target a height of 0.9 m from the floor with a distance of 50 cm from the beginning of the leg to the seat. It is these proportions that all designers recognize as ideal.

A good bar stool always has a back. All upholstered furniture placed in the kitchen must be equipped with removable covers. Or at least choose options with easy-to-clean upholstery. The triangular shape of the seat looks catchy and unusual, enhances the originality of the furniture ensemble. For your information: if a piece of furniture is bought for decorative purposes, you can completely opt for versions without upholstery.

So, to the bar, behind which you will only drink coffee in the morning, feel free to choose a metal chair with a small back. But when you plan to arrange full breakfasts, lunches and dinners, it is more correct to use semi-bar models with wide seats, comfortable backs and spacious armrests.

A chair in the loft style can be made with your own hands. Moreover, the furniture of this type produced to order and mass-produced is extremely expensive. For the seat, rectangular slats are taken, grooves are made in them. Then you need to assemble the frame, held by self-tapping screws (only such fasteners will allow it not to stagger).

Now connect the two parts, paint the frames white, attach the legs to the bottom of the seat. That's all it took - an inexpensive and stylish solution to your problem is ready! Observing basic recommendations, you can both buy beautiful loft-style chairs and make them yourself. In both cases, the result will fully meet all expectations.

When choosing a chair in the loft style, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• Material. Furniture should be made of quality material, the surface of which does not have chips or scratches (unless this is provided for by the design).
• Reliability of construction. The chair must be firm and firm. It should not stagger or make squeaks or crunches. If you notice such defects, then it is better to refuse to purchase.
• Appearance. Do not forget that the shade and shape of the product must match the main ensemble in which it will be located.
