English fireplace chairs in combination with various interior styles

For hundreds of years, the majestic and elegant “chair with ears” has been decorating the homes of connoisseurs of comfortable furniture. This item is best known as the English high-back chair. However, it also has other names. In England itself it is called a “wingback chair”: a back with wings or a winged chair. We usually call these protruding elements of the back ears, but the French decided that they look like cheeks. Definitions for the chair such as “fireplace” and “grandfather’s” have also taken root. In Russia for a long time it was called “Voltaire”, because in the era of the great philosopher this furniture became most widespread in Europe. The chair is over three hundred years old, so it is not surprising that it has acquired many names.

Main features of a classic English style chair: Low curved wooden legs; High back; Wings on the sides of the back, turning into armrests; Deep seat. The wings are large and not very large, straight and curly, similar to the wings of a butterfly and bat. There are many design variations: the chair can be smooth and quilted, with wooden and upholstered armrests, with a straight and rounded back, etc.

History of the English armchair with ears

Similar models have been known for a long time.
But the seat closest to the classic English chair appeared only in the 17th century. Initially, these were rather rough chairs made entirely of wood, without filling or upholstery. Ears or wings were intended to shelter the person sitting from the wind and drafts. By the way, English chairs with a high back are called fireplace chairs for a reason. Thanks to its design, the chair not only protects against cold air flows, but also retains heat from the fireplace. Writers of the Victorian era, painting an idyllic picture of family life, often mentioned a blazing hearth and fireplace chairs with wings.

But let's go back to earlier times. The winged chair became widespread at the beginning of the 18th century. In the era of Queen Anne Stuart, it acquires elegance. He gets padding. It’s not for nothing that this model is often called a Queen Anne style chair.

Closer to the 19th century, the chair became soft - they began to fill it with horsehair. Expensive upholstery materials are used: velvet, brocade, embroidered fabrics.

French furniture makers borrow the now popular shape and add wings to the classic bergere chair. This is a very elegant French armchair with armrests, a high seat cushion and curved legs. It is distinguished by smooth curves. Initially, “bergeres” did not have any wings or, as the French said, cheeks. But, thanks to English influence, this family was replenished with a winged variation.

French armchair: with and without ears

In the Victorian era, the English armchair with ears and a high back became an integral part of the design of clubs and libraries. As a rule, for furnishing such interiors, preference was given to armchairs with leather upholstery.

In the 20th century, interest in classic English armchairs waned, but did not die out. Creators never stopped turning to historical styles, looking for inspiration in them and drawing ideas for their further processing. Thus, the famous Danish designer Arne Jacobsen in 1958 created an egg chair, with its high eared back reminiscent of the winged English model.

In recent years, armchairs with ears have come back into fashion. They find application in both classic and modern interiors. English-style armchairs are offered by manufacturers and sellers of both luxury furniture and mass-market furniture.

For which interior is the chair in front of the fireplace best suited?

A piece of furniture such as a fireplace chair will fit perfectly into almost any style of room, you just need to play with it correctly. Classic is the most familiar and suitable option for creating an interior with such furniture; it is distinguished by the presence of predominantly expensive materials, where either pastel and brown colors predominate, or gold and burgundy are in the lead. The upholstery of such a chair should correspond to the overall style and be an elegant addition to it.

The fireplace chair is ideal for almost any interior.

It is better for the wooden parts to be white, then harmony and comfort are ensured, even with such an unusual piece of furniture for the French style. For retro and modern style, a leather chair will be most suitable; the color of the material depends on the overall tone of the room - black leather is suitable for cool tones, and brown leather will look more harmonious for warm pastel colors. In order not to unbalance the oriental style with such furniture, you need to choose upholstery in a style such as patchwork; it will create the right mood and set you up for a relaxing pastime.

For this not quite widespread boho style, the most suitable option would be to purchase a chair with bat ears, with elements of fancy shapes and colors. Many people wonder whether to purchase such a dubious piece of furniture - will it clutter up the space or just gather dust in the corner? Experts recommend weighing the pros and cons, and then deciding on such a purchase - if the family often gathers in the living room, and there is a fireplace, or when there are elderly relatives in the family, then this piece of furniture will serve you with joy and bring incredible pleasure.

Dimensions

Computer chairs in the IKEA catalog

A Voltaire chair can have a high back or a small one. It all depends on the choice of model. The designs are united by the condition that most of the products are quite narrow, but at the same time quite high.

It must be said that it is advisable to choose the dimensions of furniture for a specific situation. Experts also note that the design is not without practicality.

The standard dimensions of an English chair are approximately 100-120 centimeters in height and from 80 to 90 centimeters in length and width. These indicators are average, and everyone can choose a convenient model according to their own parameters. Custom manufacturing will allow you to create the ideal option for each specific case.

How to choose and where to place English chairs?

A couple of centuries ago, only a London nobleman could afford an English-style chair. Today this piece of furniture has become more accessible, but it is still installed in their homes or offices by people with impeccable taste and considerable income. After all, such a chair will look perfect in a richly furnished living room, in a study or near a fireplace.

– Classics of the English genre

It is not without reason that the English style is considered aristocratic and even royal. Therefore, such an interior is always identified with quality and elegance. And English chairs are one of the main distinctive attributes of furniture in the English style.

Such a chair first appeared in the 17th century - it is sometimes also called “Voltaire” due to the popularity of the ideas of the philosopher Voltaire in that period. The British quickly appreciated the exquisite shape of the chair, which fit perfectly into the palace interiors. Then they began to place it near fireplaces. After all, the special shape of the back with “ears” prevented sparks from entering the fire, retained heat and protected from drafts - simply ideal furniture for that time.

– Distinctive features of the “fireplace” chair

This chair with a high back and ears cannot be confused with others, because it:

• has a classic shape with legs made of natural wood - no chrome inserts or high-tech materials;

• comfortable due to the spacious seating area, wide armrests and high backrest;

• high-quality and durable - the well-known saying that the British are not rich enough to buy cheap things also applies to furniture;

• beautiful – this model of furniture will decorate an elegant aristocratic interior.

It remains to add that an English chair is a kind of sofa for one person, where no one can crowd out or interfere with rest. Therefore, it is difficult to refuse the temptation to acquire such a piece of furniture.

– What kind of interior do English armchairs fit ideally into?

Such furniture can rightly be called classic. But it is not suitable for every interior. A “fireplace” chair does not fit into rooms in high-tech, country or minimalist styles.

But this furniture attribute is ideal for those who:

– prefers classics and rich interior decoration;

– strives to create coziness and comfort in small apartments;

– loves an abundance of furniture and other decor.

If you characterize a person who wants to buy an English chair, he will be a successful, elegant and wealthy businessman or the owner of a cozy home with impeccable taste.

– What to look for when choosing an English chair

Choosing good furniture involves many details. And to master this talent, you need to know a few secrets:

✔ English style chairs must be made with a natural wood base with curved or straight legs;

✔ leather is often used as an upholstery material today, although high-quality fabrics look good;

✔ color design is often in calm tones; a cage, an unobtrusive floral pattern or a wide stripe will also look good;

✔ the seat of the chair should be large and deep, and the back should be high and with comfortable “ears”.

Model overview

Lounge chairs: the best models and tips for choosing

Modern models of such products can have very different designs. The “ears” take on a variety of shapes; the armrests are made of wood or covered with upholstery. The back can be either straight or rounded. However, having seen this design, every person will definitely distinguish it from others.

Today, even models with orthopedic backs are offered. This becomes a real boon for users with back problems. Such products are considered completely new.

As for the forms, it should be noted that there are quite a lot of them. However, they have such minor differences that at first glance you may not notice much of a difference, but the uniform style is clearly visible. Let's look at the most popular of them.

A bergere chair can be compared to a shell. It has a semicircular back. The side elements are slightly beveled.

Designers also offer more modern models. However, the influence of the English style in them can be seen very clearly. One option is "egg" or "swan". They are made in a rather original form, but all the main elements are present in them.

Gaming chairs are slightly expanded downwards, resulting in a second “wing”. It is the lateral support that is considered a continuation of the “ears”. Such models look quite extravagant.

Varieties

There are several forms of winged chairs, but the differences between them are minimal. The exception to the rule will be designer models. Traditional varieties include:

1. Bergere. A French variation with a semicircular back, similar in appearance to a shell. The side panels are slightly beveled.
2. Bergere with a curl. The wings in such products are rolled up at the edges. The backrest is slightly shorter than that of traditional chairs, reaching the middle of the shoulder blades of the seated person.
3. Straight back. Classic furniture, made in compliance with the English style. Solid sidewalls with cheeks are located with a minimal bevel and almost at a right angle to the back. The armrests are the narrowest.
4. Provence. The design is no different from previous varieties. The differences include the wide comfort bolsters. The sides are produced independently of the ears.

There are models whose creators used the features of Voltaire’s chairs. Although they have their own unique features, they still remain recognizable:

1. Egg and swan. Based on English products, a couple of pieces of furniture with an interesting interpretation were developed. At the same time, the characteristic features were preserved, and therefore they are easy to recognize.
2. Gaming chairs. Fireplace chairs have gained immense popularity, so the side panels of gaming models have become a continuation of the classic wings. The lateral support expands downwards, turning into a second ear.

It is no coincidence that fireplace chairs are called that. Thanks to the design features, a seated person is completely protected from drafts, and the heat emanating from the fire will be retained. Many writers and artists who worked in the Victorian era invariably depicted idyllic episodes of family life with a burning fireplace and a cozy eared chair.

Decor

When creating an unusual room interior, decorative furniture elements are important. Voltaire's chairs don't have so many of them:

Carriage tie. This design looks luxurious and expensive. Initially, the method was used to uniformly distribute the filler. To apply this decorative effect, you will need a thick fabric without patterns. Suitable leather, satin, high quality leatherette. Only dense material will not tear when tightened. On a canvas with drawings, the carriage tie will be almost invisible. Carved frame. It is fixed at the bottom of the product or frames the back. The carving looks harmonious in tandem with the elegant shape of the English chair

When decorating, it is important to adhere to the measure; the width of the decor should not exceed 8 cm. Bent, turned and carved legs. Great idea for decorating furniture

Curves may be present on all 4 legs or only on the two front legs, while the back legs remain straight. Decorative rollers. The upholstery of the products can have folds and be complemented with interesting overlays with silk tassels.

Design options

Without a doubt, the “eared” chair has a rather specific appearance. Many believe that such models would be most appropriate in a retro style, ideally located near the fireplace. However, if you find the right approach, the products can decorate almost any design. In some cases, they are even suitable for rooms designed in such provincial styles as country and Provence. A classic blue chair with legs looks great.

For this reason, it would be a mistake to assume that such products will fit well only into luxurious interiors. The appearance largely depends on the upholstery - it can change the chair as much as possible. However, in ancient times, only rich people could really afford them.

In modern design, a combination of different styles and shades is often used. The aristocratic “eared” chair is perfect for rooms in the Baroque and Rococo styles.

One cannot ignore such a design option as the “carriage screed”. It is considered a classic in this direction

In ancient times, using this technique, it was possible to distribute the filler more evenly, and it was used most often for the interior decoration of carriages, which was the reason for this name.

In this case, dense fabrics of the same color are chosen for upholstery, such as leather and satin. The fact is that not all thin materials can withstand the impact of furniture buttons and nails.

In general, consumer color preferences can be anything. Manufacturers offer dark and light shades, as well as products with prints. Selecting the required color is usually not difficult.

What if you try to make something out of furniture with your own hands? Interesting? Let's start with making furniture that does not require a frame, for example, a bean bag chair (or, as it is also called, a pear chair)

.
How can you make a beanbag chair with your own hands
at home?
The key to an excellent result of your work is to initially make the patterns
and find a good filler. You select the fabric (color, texture) to your liking, not forgetting the harmony of the future pear-shaped product with the rest of the furniture in the house.

The most important advantage of such a handmade bean bag chair

the fact that it itself is light and freely takes the shape of the body of a person who wishes to rest on it. Therefore, it is very comfortable. You can even lie down on it, fluffing it up like a pillow. People who spend a lot of time “on their feet”, or sitting for hours in the office, perfectly relax and rest their back muscles when they sit in bean bag chairs. And what delight this furniture causes in children! Be sure to take your child as an assistant when you start making a bean bag chair with your own hands.

The next important point is the filler

. The most popular of them now is polystyrene chips, the granules of which are 1.5-5 mm. If you use it as a filler, then you will never sit in a “cold” chair. This applies specifically to crumbs, and not to foam plates.

As an option, order crumbs from an online store (cheap and fast). And with the rest you can fill decorative pillows and soft children's toys.

It will be great to fill the bags with chairs

not with traditional polystyrene foam, but, for example, with hay soaked in the aroma of hot summer or some fragrant grass. You just need to keep in mind that such fillers love rooms without high humidity. This filling is changed every 6-12 months if products made from it are used a lot and often. Therefore, the bag itself should be easily removable to replace the filler.

One of the covers that makes up a bean bag chair (or pear chair)

, should be made of raincoat fabric or thick mattress fabric, the second cover should be made from beautiful furniture fabric or denim, suede, faux leather and even velvet. You should not take expensive fabric for the outer cover, since with cheaper fabric the cover can be changed as much as you like, and each time you will have a “new” chair. So it’s worth thinking about whether we need to pay in online stores for the super abrasion-resistant fabric they advertise, if we have the option of inexpensive, but different and always “fresh” covers?

A strong metal zipper 50-60 cm long is usually placed on the outer cover of the beanbag chair. The best place for its location is at the bottom of the chair, otherwise it may break if there is excessive load on the chair. If you don't like the zipper, sew on a few buttons.

Using your imagination, you can vary the chair bag

from a very large pillow to a comfortable mattress; it can be like a chair with a back, if you arrange the pillow in a triangle, and a comfortable mattress.

Before you start directly making the product (upholstered furniture), we recommend making a small pattern on paper

to scale to check if everything fits.

The seams on the covers must be strong, the same as on jeans, using reinforced threads in order to withstand heavy loads.

Specifics and distinctive features of a fireplace chair with ears

Figuring out a fireplace chair is very easy. It has a fairly recognizable appearance with specific features:

Lateral support from bottom to headboard. This is what they call the ears; Large selection of shapes. Similar options still exist in many styles. For example, in Provence

They differ from each other not very important, but still these signs are differences; A symbol of the warmth and comfort of the family hearth. It is impossible to imagine this chair without the accompanying crackling of firebrands; Wide variety in external design

Each model is unique in its own way, despite small differences in shape; Constant standing on your feet. They themselves vary in appearance, but they are always traditional 4 supports; Quite often the sides and ears are one component.

Key Features

The chair has a high back and can be equipped with a pouf and footrest. Despite the attitude towards the classics, nowadays it is quite possible to buy such furniture inexpensively. Especially if there is a sale somewhere.

In order not to buy a parody, but a real English chair with ears, you need to know what features it differs from. It’s just that it’s not always possible to see it from a photo.

• Dimensions
  . Their style is such that the sizes are almost always impressive. Especially due to the high back;
• Presence of wings and ears
  . The side projections along the edges of the chair resemble wings in appearance. They come in a variety of shapes, decor and materials. But they must be here;
• Convex and low legs
  . There can be many types of legs. They differ in material and shape. But always low;
• Deep-set seat
  . Such furniture is always deep, which is done to increase the level of comfort and convenience;
• Decor
  . Basically these are quilted backrests and stitching of decorative molding around the armrests. These are characteristic decorative elements for such a chair.

Based on these signs, you can find and order a Voltaire chair in Moscow or any other city.

The fact that the name sounds like an English chair does not mean that it is purely British. They are produced by Russia, Ukraine, and a number of other countries. But I’m not sure about whether you can find an English chair in Ikea.

An English style chair is a combination of luxury and comfort.

For beauty and comfort, the room should have upholstered furniture. If the dimensions of the room do not allow placing a bulky sofa in it, you should make do with soft armchairs. They are great for relaxing after a hard day, reading books, watching TV.

English style is refined elegance, grace, the highest quality, concise forms, thoughtfulness of details, restraint and a sense of proportion.

All that is usually briefly denoted in one word - aristocracy.

The English style chair is beautiful and durable. It has a special design. The main feature is the so-called “ears” - peculiar wings located on the sides. English-style furniture is again at the peak of popularity, and it’s worth taking a closer look at all the nuances of such chairs.

An English armchair will fit perfectly into a restrained and traditional interior, or serve as a bright accent in an eclectic design.

A wide palette of ideas will help reveal the potential of your interior and you as a decorator of your home.

Dimensions

Dimensions of different models:

1. The seat width is about 60 cm, the depth is between 70–90 cm (if the chair is made independently, for convenience, the seat is often turned into a square with a side of 60–70 cm);
2. The height of the seat relative to the floor is about 50 cm, the height of the backrest is up to 1.1–1.2 m (these are the parameters for chairs in the classic English style). For regular Bergers, the dimensions are reduced to 40 cm and 70 cm, respectively; for Bergers with a curl, the height of the seat and back is almost the same - about 50 cm.

These dimensions guarantee the fireplace chairs strength and stability, and as a result, durability. The dimensions have been tested over several centuries of their operation. The invariability of the design greatly simplifies the task for those who want to make fireplace chairs with their own hands - the drawings are easy to find in the public domain. Although the work itself is quite a difficult task. What appears to be a single piece of wood from the outside is, on the inside, a combination of timbers that provide the necessary strength and weight distribution.

How to make an upholstered chair with your own hands?

Any work cannot be started without a clear action plan. Decide on the design of the future piece of furniture. It is more difficult to create a frame chair, but it looks more respectable.

If you decide to sew a bean bag chair, get ready to master the patterns. Your actions will lie not so much in the field of furniture production, but in the field of sewing art. In any case, you will need an approximate budget and an idea of ​​the consumption of materials. For example, a bean bag chair costs 1200-1300 rubles. This includes fabric for the outer (about 300-500) and inner (200-300) covers. Also, 500 rubles are allocated for the purchase of filler.

Perhaps you already have an old “grandfather’s” easy chair that has lost its presentation? Then you can retighten and repair it with your own hands, as shown in the following video:

Traditional soft product

An ordinary chair requires a thorough approach and an extensive preparatory stage. Let's look at the list of materials and tools required to make a plywood chair with upholstery:

• 20mm plywood;
• electric drill;
• emery cloth;
• screws;
• jigsaw;
• metal rims;
• thin nails;
• foam;
• wood glue;
• artificial leather;
• stain;
• black glossy paint;
• pencil;
• masking tape;
• roulette.

Let's get started:

1. After downloading one of the drawings below, proceed to large-scale work. Calculate the amount of materials and start making the template. First, cardboard templates are made, and plywood parts are cut out from them.
2. The sides of a standard chair resemble a banana. You will also need cross bars. Decide on the angles of inclination, bending and dimensions of the product.
3. The surface of the wooden parts is cleaned and sanded. Pay special attention to the ends - soak them in heated drying oil, flatten the fibers with a hammer (if bends are provided). Each frame detail is cut out using a jigsaw.
4. The sides of the chairs are painted or treated with stain. The ends of the sidewalls are reinforced with metal rims. After this, the tightening process begins.
5. The necessary holes are made with an electric drill. The rims are fixed with screws. First, the back part of the backrest is trimmed with artificial leather, then it is the turn of other fragments of the chair.
6. To secure the fabric you will need wallpaper nails with large heads. At the back, the upholstery is fixed along the transverse parts (along the very edge), at the front it should cover the slats. It is better to treat the attachment points with wood glue - this will increase the level of reliability.

Bag chair

The simplest version of the bag is the so-called.

You cannot do without the following materials:

• calico or satin (about three meters);
• a piece of fabric for the outer cover (about 3.5 meters);
• meter-long zipper;
• filler;
• fabric for appliqué;
• scissors, pins and thread with needles.

Manufacturing:

1. Copy the pattern you like from the Internet, enlarge it and transfer it to the required parts. For the upper and lower covers, the work must be done separately. The result of your efforts is a small top bottom, a large bottom and six fabric wedges.
2. Sew the wedges and start sewing the bag. A small area must be left unsewn. In addition, both bottoms are sewn together. Having finished with the top cover, proceed to sewing the bottom one - the procedure will be similar.
3. From the fabric you choose, you need to cut out the elements for the applique - they are placed on top of the cover. A zipper is sewn into one of the gussets - this will allow you to remove the cover and wash it if it gets dirty. Two-thirds of the volume of the inner cover is filled with filler, which can be used as polystyrene foam.
4. After compacting the inner cover with filling, insert it into the outer cover, and then fasten the zipper. The bean bag chair is completely ready for use.

Pay attention to the strength of the seams of the inner cover - they should not come apart under the influence of the weight of a sitting person.

We will discuss further how to make a children's soft chair with your own hands.

DIY bean bag chair

Baby chair

Making a frameless soft chair for a baby is as simple as making a regular bean bag chair. The difference lies solely in the dimensions and colors of this piece of furniture. Bright, cheerful colors that do not irritate the eyes and set the mood for positivity are welcome.

• You can make a soft frame chair for a child with your own hands in the shape of a semicircular “sandwich” from wooden blocks and chipboard. The front wall of this design is made of plywood, the back wall is made of hardboard. The internal space of the glue along the bend of the back is filled with glued pieces of cardboard.
• After waiting for the wall to dry, smooth out the unevenness with a construction knife. A layer of foam rubber is carefully glued on top, on which the upholstery will subsequently lie. You can use eco-leather or flock as upholstery fabric - these options will allow your design to survive the unequal struggle with felt-tip pens and paints.
• Now about the dimensions. A standard adult chair has a meter height (some models reach 120 centimeters) with a bottom diameter of 30 centimeters and a top diameter of 15 centimeters. The height of the child seat should not exceed 60 centimeters (diameters will be 25 and 11 cm, respectively). Take this nuance into account at the pattern design stage.

Materials of manufacture and types of legs

The element of furniture that attracts attention is the legs. They are:

1. Straight. The classic version has no bends, the same average thickness, the height does not change.
2. Curved. There are even two bends, the legs resemble the letter S. It is characterized by abundant decor in the form of wood carvings. The legs are chiseled, rather thin, slightly thicker at the bottom, turning into some kind of animal paw. This chair looks very elegant and graceful.
3. Slanted. They are attached to the body at a slight angle and can be flat or drop-shaped. They look quite massive. On modern models, they are often made of chrome-plated steel.
4. Combined. The front legs are curved, richly decorated, the hind legs are simple, straight. The chair looks most impressive when viewed from the side.
5. Globular. They are mounted only on Bergers; they are short and straight. A small hemisphere rests on the floor.
6. In the form of stands. Such elements are used for the “Egg” and “Swan” chairs. The single straight leg, gradually expanding, turns into a semicircular (less often cruciform) base.
7. In the form of a cross. Option exclusively for gaming chairs. They have one leg and a five-pointed crosspiece on wheels.

The frame of classic fireplace chairs with “ears” is made of solid wood (birch, pine, ash, beech, larch), so they are massive and cannot be cheap. For elite models, oak, rosewood, mahogany, and teak are used. Chairs of modern design have a metal or fiberglass frame. Craftsmen who want to make a piece of furniture themselves often replace wood with plywood, fiberboard or chipboard.

The main requirements for upholstery are strength and tensile strength. The following materials are used to make chairs:

1. Genuine Leather. When using it, an already expensive chair becomes even more expensive. The material is wear-resistant, easy to care for, but is resistant to scratches and shrinks when exposed to heat. You should not place it so that the fireplace portal is very close and directly opposite.
2. Faux leather. In terms of presentation and performance characteristics it is not inferior to natural ones, but costs significantly less. Often has a special coating that protects it from water and dirt.
3. Tapestry. Cotton fabric of very dense weaving with complex patterns lasts a long time without losing its presentability, only the colors fade slightly.
4. Flock. Mostly synthetic with the addition of natural fibers. Affordable, the surface is soft and pleasantly fleecy to the touch. A definite plus is the wide variety of textures and colors. The upholstery will not be damaged if there is a cat or dog in the house.
5. Velours. The texture resembles flock, but it looks more solid and noble, but it is difficult to care for, wears out quickly, and gets dirty easily.
6. Jacquard. Material with a dense embossed texture. It consists of multi-colored threads that form beautiful patterns or designs. It is wear-resistant and durable.
7. Chenille. Very dense fabric with short pile, consists of a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers.
8. Microfiber. An analogue of natural suede, it has a special Teflon coating to protect against pet claws. The fabric is wear-resistant and pleasant to the touch.
