IKEA chairs in the interior: 52 photos of options for the home

Today, frameless furniture for furnishing living rooms, children's rooms, and office spaces is no less relevant than the classic versions that are familiar to everyone. Shapeless fabric sofas and variations of armchairs fit harmoniously into the interior thanks to a wide selection of models, colors, and material textures. Furniture brands are increasingly including them in their collections. The famous Swedish brand was no exception: the original Ikea bean bag chair, like other products from this manufacturer, attracts the average consumer with decent quality at an affordable price. The popular model is presented in a variety of designs and colors - everyone can choose suitable interior solutions.

Rocking chair for men

The minimalistic design of the Poeng chair has remained relevant for forty years. The model is made in two variations: a chair on spring legs made of laminated birch veneer and a rocking chair with a frame of multi-layer bent-laminated oak wood.

Cases made of genuine leather in calm brown shades from milky to beige and dark brown will emphasize the status of the owner. A thoughtful angle of the backrest will allow you to relax and enjoy moments of rest.

Colors

Thanks to the rich color range of fabrics, you can choose a bean bag chair for any interior: organically fit into the main tone of the decor or make an original piece of furniture its rich accent. Bright fabrics are usually chosen for a children's room. Ikea offers armchairs in red, yellow, orange, blue, shades of juicy lime or burgundy. Calmer tones, such as gray from the lightest shade to very dark, are appropriate in any setting. Contrasting black and white graphics or calm patterns in graphite shades are popular options for bean bag chairs that add variety and comfort.

The bean bag chair is characterized by increased comfort and wear resistance, so it is gaining an increasing number of fans every day. Not all owners of small-sized housing can yet afford high-quality frameless furniture due to its size. But residents of more spacious houses are happy to decorate cozy recreation areas with such products. This means that the growing popularity of frameless furniture will inspire developers and manufacturers to create new models, a huge variety of shapes and colors.

Manufacturing process: step-by-step instructions

Drawings for making an adult and children's bean bag chair

Before you start making an upholstered chair with your own hands, you need to make a drawing, look for the pattern on the Internet and copy it from there. Choose any model for the product, at your discretion - just a bag, a pear, a drop, a square, get creative and make a funny animal. Now we select the fabric.

For the inner cover, it is enough to choose a dense fabric so that after time the balls do not come out - fabric for bedspreads, satin or calico. For the outer cover, choose a fabric for upholstery, denim or leatherette will do, the main thing is that you like it and fit in with the overall decor.

Cut out details

A special filler, polystyrene foam, is used as padding. Order online or buy from a store that sells furniture repair and restoration products. It must be remembered that the material is voluminous and practically weightless. When purchasing it, you need to look at the size of the package, and not the weight. For a bean bag chair you need 250-300 liters.

The chair bag consists of a removable outer cover, a durable inner cover and a filling

If you don’t want to bother with polystyrene foam, replace it with ceiling tiles - crush them and use them as filler. You can use plant components as filling, but it is better to change them every six months, since this is a moisture-absorbing material and mold may appear.

Before making a soft fabric chair, we make patterns, lay them out on the fabric, do not forget about the seam allowances - 2-3 cm, then you need to outline them with chalk. The model consists of a bottom and “petals”. First we start sewing the inner cover: all the wedges are sewn to the bottom, then they are sewn on the sides. Don't forget about the hole for the filler. Now let's move on to the outer case. It is made in the same way; we sew a zipper on the side.

When the covers are ready, you need to stuff the inner bag.

Attention! If you are crafting with children, make sure that the granules do not get into the respiratory tract, since they are volatile and can easily get into the nose and mouth. Fill 2/3 of the volume, sew up the hole

Then we put on the top cover and fasten it with a zipper.

Pear and bag

Many people appreciated this popular version of a low, shapeless chair filled with tiny balls. It's so soft to sit in that you don't want to get up. In addition, it is very light - you can easily move it from room to room or to another corner. It’s good that there are no sharp corners - especially when small children are running around the house.

At Ikea, this model of a soft bean bag ottoman is called “Olme”. Its dimensions are 0.9 by 0.94 by 0.45 meters. The inner beanbag is inserted into a bright cover made of durable fabric.

Round banana ottoman

The product, named “Alceda,” has a frame made of thick, strong wire inside, which is braided with banana fiber and rattan, and coated with acrylic varnish on top for strength. The result is an ottoman with a height of 0.18 and a diameter of 0.6 meters. It goes well with the ethnic style of the interior and is suitable for decorating balconies and patios.

By the way, this particular model is simply adored by cats, who like not only to sleep on the pouf, but also to sharpen their claws on it. Unfortunately, this reduces the lifespan of the product. However, skillful hands will help to cope with the problem - the frame can be re-stretched. Jute rope, for example.

Chair or bed?

Armchair-beds have long been firmly established in our apartments. And no wonder, because they combine two functions: a comfortable, roomy chair and an extra bed. Occupying a minimum of space, a chair-bed provides great opportunities for small apartments.

The IKEA chair-bed is, first of all, about comfort. Mattresses made of high-density polyurethane foam are quite soft and elastic, which allows you to fully relax.

And the orthopedic base of the chair-bed creates the necessary support for the spine during sleep. The built-in drawer for storing bed linen comes in very handy.

Advantages and disadvantages

Furniture from the Swedish brand Ikea is distinguished by practicality, high quality, safety, and convenient use. Among the wide range of products, there is also room for original hanging chairs, creating a peaceful environment for wonderful relaxation. Their main advantages:

Universal design and non-standard shape. The appearance of this unusual “flying” product resembles a cocoon, a ball and other variations of a spherical shape. Moreover, each model is thought out to the smallest detail and is distinguished by its brevity. The product can be a bright detail not only in the living room, but also become an integral part of the interior of an open terrace, balcony or veranda.
Thoughtful color palette. Each type of hanging chair is made in a wide variety of shades. By choosing the right color scheme, you can bring harmonious balance to your surroundings. Such furniture will be a great addition to vintage, African, industrial, minimalist and many other modern interior styles.
Easy installation and reliable design. The chair is only supposed to be attached to the ceiling. The reason for the lack of support stands for products is considered to be bulkiness, heavy weight and the inability to compactly store such a support, which in turn can lead to some inconvenience. Ceiling mounting systems are made of durable galvanized steel, making them reliable and durable.

No one has yet been able to identify the obvious shortcomings of Ikea hanging chairs. It can be noted that there is only a limited choice due to the small model range, but this is more than compensated for by the stylish execution of the products. Some may think that these models are not suitable for apartments with low ceilings. This is wrong. A special device included in the kit allows you to adjust the length of the chain, adjusting it according to the required parameters.

Advantages and disadvantages

As noted above, modern Ikea beanbag chairs have many advantages. This may include:

wide range of choice;
high-quality fabrics with hypoallergenic properties are used to create models;
products can be used in different interior styles.

The most popular option is the pear model. The chair is called so because of its shape, which resembles this fruit. Small foam balls are used for filling, which provide comfort and convenience during use.

The company gave the name to this model – “Olma”. Its advantage lies in the presence of a cover, for the manufacture of which durable fabric is used. There is an additional pillow at the base, which provides comfort and convenience while sitting.

The advantage of this chair is that it has a removable cover. It can be easily washed and cleaned. The manufacturer offers several color options for the covers. But if none of them suits you, you can make a protective covering for the chair yourself. All you need in this case is fabric, a zipper (buttons) and a little free time.

It is necessary to carry out the entire process so that moisture does not enter the inner compartment. But it is worth noting that manufacturers use stable materials for the base that do not deform when in contact with water.

Requirements for products for children

Parents, when choosing furniture for their children, worry whether doing homework on such a chair will lead to the development of scoliosis, or whether the baby will fall off the rocking chair while playing. Be sure to check information about the safety of suspended structures and read reviews. Ikea specialists understand the worries of moms and dads, so they control all stages of furniture production in their production.

Basic requirements for children's products:

Taking into account the anatomical features of the child’s body.
Use of environmentally friendly safe materials. Natural base, textile upholstery made of cotton, practical synthetic fabrics do not cause an allergic reaction, and are durable.

Materials

The highlight of the bean bag chair is the filler. Expanded polystyrene granules from 2 to 5 mm do not cake and do not absorb moisture (the product can be used on open terraces). The density of the foam is about 25 kg/m3. It is enough so that the material does not shrink so quickly and holds its shape longer. In addition, granules with such a density ensure low weight of the product. According to reviews from fans of frameless furniture, polystyrene filler balls retain body heat, which makes the bean bag chair even more comfortable.

The inner cover is made of non-woven polypropylene. The bottom of the bean bag chair is made of durable material that is resistant to mechanical damage. For the outer covering, fabrics with a high content of natural fibers are used - up to 100% cotton.

Ikea recommends washing the top cover of its chairs at a temperature not exceeding 40 ° C and ironing on medium cycle.

The most popular durable and inexpensive fabrics for an outer bag are flock, tapestry, oxford, jacquard. Genuine leather and leatherette are also used, in which case the furniture must be washed with a damp sponge.

The top cover is fastened with a zipper, the length of which must be at least 80% of the largest diameter of the frameless product. If the lock is shorter, it will be difficult to remove and put on the cover. The zipper lock is hidden in a pocket, which eliminates accidental injuries.

Reasons for popularity

Interest in upholstered chairs has been growing for several decades. People's need for comfort and relaxation after a hard day at work is increasingly leading to the idea of purchasing such soft interior items instead of the usual furniture. The frameless chair turned out to be at the peak of popularity at the beginning of the 21st century, and there are a number of reasons for this:

No frame product will allow you to sit so comfortably in it: the filling of a bean bag chair instantly takes the shape of your body, thanks to which you can completely relax.
A family with small children should not be afraid that a naughty child will hit an armrest or other hard structural element. On the contrary, you can freely fall into a bean bag chair without fear of injury.
A large selection of frameless products allows you to complement the interior of the living room, bedroom, and children's room. They look no less organic on terraces and verandas of country houses.
The bean bag chair, despite its impressive dimensions, is very light in weight and can be easily transported from one place to another.
Having chosen IKEA products, the consumer can easily complement the decor with new elements without disturbing the style and color scheme of the interior.
The popularity of the Ikea brand is explained by the guarantee of quality at an affordable price of the product, so bean bag chairs from this manufacturer are the choice of most consumers who decide to introduce an element of novelty into the design of their apartment.
Ikea frameless bean bag chairs are easy to care for, and retail chains offer standard spare covers in bright colors, plain or with patterns, if you want to diversify the interior or update the product.

The main advantage of frameless furniture is the ability to relax muscles as much as possible and relieve tension.

You shouldn't sleep in bean bags, and if you have problems with your spine, then you shouldn't. However, sitting in them for one or two hours is even beneficial.
