When choosing furniture, buyers often focus on sets consisting of a sofa and armchairs, or on individual parts; on one chair.
An armchair in a living room interior is an indispensable attribute of comfort and beauty. It is important to choose a chair that will be in harmony with other furniture in the room, and also decide in which room the chair will be placed.
If you decide to purchase a chair for the hall, focus on the color and shape of the chair. They should fit perfectly into the interior of the room. If you work a lot at the computer, buy an office chair.
When choosing this type of chair, focus on:
- Form.
- Softness.
- Construction.
- Material.
- Support.
Specifics of classic chairs
Classic armchairs for the living room will be an excellent decoration. Classic armchairs have a raised back and decorated curved legs. They are made from expensive wood species and are often upholstered in leather. The curves of classic armchairs are carved or gilded.
Before purchasing this type of chair, you need to focus on:
- Room size.
- Harmonious combination with the interior.
A well-chosen classic chair will perfectly complement your interior and add a cozy atmosphere.
Ideas for every room
Let's look at photos of interesting placement ideas in each room.
Armchair in the living room interior
The decoration of a hall is rarely complete without 1-2 chairs. They are usually located next to the sofa, forming a soft group with a sufficient number of seats. Depending on the size of the room, you can add from one to several armchairs to the sofa. The pair can be identical and located symmetrically or side by side (you can combine them around a coffee table) or consist of 2-3 different accent pieces.

Features of the chair-bed
A chair-bed is perfect for you if you often have relatives, friends or guests spend the night. When assembled, they perfectly decorate the room, and when unfolded, you get additional sleeping space.
When choosing a chair-bed, you should consider:
- Presence of a linen drawer.
- Frame strength.
- Guarantee period.
- Folding/unfolding mechanism =.
- Material.
The price and quality of the chair depend on the fillings. They are natural and artificial. Natural fillers include down and felt, and artificial fillers include foam rubber and synthetic padding.
There are 3 types of transformation:
- Accordion.
- Euro-book.
- Dolphin.
Selection criteria for chairs
There are several criteria that a buyer focuses on in a store:
- Form.
- Dimensions.
- Design.
- High-quality upholstery and filling composition.
The presence or absence of orthopedic properties of a given model is assessed separately. Another evaluation parameter is price. Inexpensive living room chairs can be purchased, for example, at IKEA.
Modern armchairs for the living room
The interior of a modern living room is perfectly complemented by hanging wicker chairs, bean bags and armchairs with arms. The photo of living room chairs shows their varieties.
The armchairs with arms are made in a beautiful style, so they fit well into the interior. Doctors often recommend that customers with spinal problems, pregnant women, or nursing mothers rest on these chairs.
A type of chair for a living room in a modern style is a bean bag chair. The advantage of a bean bag chair is that it perfectly adapts to the shape of the body and helps you relax.
All of the above types of “seats” will complement the interior if you follow the design rules. There are many variations of the arrangement, but only you choose which one you need.
Materials
The upholstery of chairs in the interior of living rooms is selected taking into account the overall style of the room. For example, a tapestry will combine beautifully with traditional classics, and gray chenille or flock will fit into the overall loft or hi-tech style. The operating conditions of upholstered furniture are also important. For frequent use, it is better to choose dense fabrics with high wear resistance.
Materials containing natural and synthetic fibers are common in the furniture production market. Today the most popular are:
- Genuine leather is a practical and high-quality material. Leather upholstered furniture favorably emphasizes the luxury of the interior. This upholstery is relevant for any style. Classic leather chairs decorated with carriage screed or carved wood look especially elegant.
- Artificial leather is inferior in quality to natural leather, but has quite decent wear resistance. Today, some of the best leather substitutes are eco-leather and Arpatek. These materials look good, are easy to care for, and last a long time.
- Dense textiles include tapestry, chenille, jacquard and flock. They are used in classic and folding models of different styles. The materials are easy to clean and low maintenance.
- Fine structure fabrics are less practical and are rarely used. This is mainly the upholstery of classic armchair models intended for living room decor.
Materials from which the product body is made:
- Wood and MDF. Natural woods are considered expensive frame materials. Used only in classic modern style furniture. MDF in the form of a frame is most often used if the chair folds out - the lower weight allows you to conveniently transform the living room element into a single bed.
- Steel is used primarily to create folding chairs. The strong base can withstand the weight of built-in drawers and folding mechanisms. More often combined with thick textiles or eco-leather. Some models of chairs have a completely steel frame, for example, hanging or Papasan.
- Plastic is a lightweight practical material, used for non-folding models.
It is not recommended to combine several types of textiles, as the style is disrupted . An exception may be a chair in the Art Nouveau style, straight in shape, which combines only natural materials.

Choosing a chair by frame
Modern living room chairs are made from the following types of material:
- Wood.
- Metal constructions.
- Rattan weaving.
Additional accessories are made from sheets of plywood, chipboard, and plastic. Wood has a number of advantages over other bases. It is quite durable and, with optimal processing, becomes resistant to moisture, fungi and pests.
During the production process, metal parts are coated with anti-corrosion compounds, which allows the product to perform its role for a long time.
Rattan weaving does not require additional filler or upholstery. The design of the wicker chair has a special style and external decor. The rattan itself is adequately durable and resistant to moisture.
Zoning options
To conditionally delimit a room, upholstered furniture in the form of a straight, corner sofa or a pair of armchairs is installed on the border between zones.
A dining group with a dining table and chairs can also serve as a zoning element. This functional segment will not only help to divide the space, but will also contribute to the correct planning of the location of the set in the kitchen area.
An equally popular design technique is zoning using a kitchen island. This design will not completely block the space and interfere with free movement.
Another convenient way is a bar counter, which can simultaneously serve as a serving table and a work surface.
The photo shows zoning decoration in the interior of the kitchen-living room.
A variety of decorative partitions will fit perfectly into the interior. For zonal separation, it is appropriate to install sliding glass doors, bamboo screens, plasterboard, plywood and wooden structures or shelving.
At the intersection of two zones, you can also hang thick curtains, light curtains or curtains made of beads.
If the layout of an apartment with a kitchen-living room is large and requires a high ceiling, zoning can be done through multi-level ceiling or floor designs. To create clear boundaries, the kitchen area is placed on a low podium or highlighted using a lower level stretch or suspended ceiling with a built-in lighting system.
