Armchair in the interior: a place to relax and a wonderful decorative detail

A personal space for individual relaxation will help organize a piece of furniture such as an armchair, which can be placed in any of the rooms of your home. Today you can see the chair in the interior of not only living rooms, but also bedrooms, children's rooms and dining rooms.

Stores offer a wide selection of models that differ in material, color and shape.

In this review, we will consider the criteria for choosing chairs depending on the needs of residents.

How to choose a chair

Before you go shopping for a chair, you need to decide on its purpose, and then choose the color, design and texture:

1. First of all, the room for which it is purchased is determined.
2. Will the chair be used for relaxation or for work? Depending on this, you need to pay attention to the material of the armrests, the height of the backrest and other parameters.
3. Is it intended for sitting or can it be used as a sleeping place, that is, have a folding mechanism.
4. Will the chair serve its intended purpose or become a decorative item?

Once you have decided on the purpose of the chair, you can move on to its varieties. They differ in certain parameters.

Depending on the type of chair design, there are:

1. Frame. They are considered a traditional type, having a solid base and soft upholstery. Frames are made of natural wood, particle boards, metal or plastic. With such a chair, you can change the position of the backrest, seat height and other parameters.
2. Frameless types do not have a rigid base, they can be easily moved and do not break. They have a filling and a top cover that can be removed and washed. However, such chairs are dangerous from the claws of pets and sharp objects. A popular type of such furniture is the bean bag chair.

Chair models with an office design are an excellent option for arranging a work area in the living room or bedroom. The presence of wheels, the semicircular shape of the seat on a leg, plus unusual, colorful upholstery with a geometric pattern - such chairs can decorate any interior, while emphasizing the individuality of the apartment owner. The armchair chair will be a universal option for decorating the interior of studio apartments. In it you can comfortably relax by the window, enjoying the cityscape, and work efficiently and, most importantly, comfortably at the computer.

Colors and materials

Choosing colors and upholstery for chairs is a very exciting and creative activity.

However, it is not necessary that according to these parameters the chair matches the sofa or the rest of the furniture.

In most cases, designers focus on curtains, their texture and color; sometimes the chair and curtains can be made from fabrics of similar colors.

• Striped curtains and a checkered chair, curtains with small flowers and a chair with large ones will look good.
• Do you need to fit a chair into the finished design? Choose an upholstery color that matches the color of the walls.
• Throw a knitted or fur blanket over the chair to create a cozy and warm atmosphere in the room.

When choosing a material for a chair, it is also important to focus on the overall design of the room and the purpose for which it is purchased:

1. Natural wood, chipboard, and metal are mainly used as materials for the frame. Models made of oak and walnut are considered especially valuable.
2. Popular fillers for upholstered furniture are foam rubber, polyurethane foam, latex, and spring blocks.
3. For upholstery, materials such as genuine leather, eco-leather, velor, chenille, flock, and jacquard are most often used.

Color solution

Since we touched on the topic of color, let’s talk about it separately. The stores sell models in different shades: from neutral to colored - pastel, deep and even acidic.

The choice should first of all be based on the interior of the room. If you want to focus on decor rather than furniture, choose basic shades: gray, beige, white, black. To put emphasis on the chair, choose contrasting colors: they can be either colored or monochrome, the main thing is that they differ from the surrounding details.

The second aspect that influences the choice of color is the functional purpose of the space. For children's rooms, in most cases they choose a bright palette - and the upholstery is not necessarily monochromatic; options with prints are acceptable.

If you are organizing a relaxation area with an armchair in the bedroom, choose a calm color scheme that promotes relaxation: gray, beige, pastel green or blue. In the office, restrained dark tones are preferred - brown, graphite, indigo, cherry, malachite. The color of furniture in the living room can be neutral or bright.

Armchairs in different interior styles

1. A low chair with unusual metal legs and bright upholstery material will suit a modern interior. Plastic inserts, genuine leather or forged elements are used for its decoration.

Materials for designer chairs

• Wood. The entire chair or its individual parts can be made from wood. If you purchase a product entirely from solid wood, it is better to give preference to rare and durable species.
• Textile. Corduroy, velvet, matting and other furniture fabrics are used for upholstery of seats and backs. They stand out for their variety of patterns, colors and ease of care. Pleasant to the touch and does not cause discomfort.
• Artificial and natural leather. Also used when tightening the soft part. This is a capricious material, but if you care for it properly, the furniture will serve you for many years.
• Metal. Most often used in the production of frames. High strength and excellent coatings make it perhaps the best solution for armchairs. The legs, protected from moisture by polymer powder paint, will not rust, and the paint itself is not susceptible to cracking. There are also products made of chromed steel - it fits perfectly into modern styles.

It is less common to see plastic or other materials. Decorative details and parts of structures are created from them. For example, it is not so easy to relax in an entirely plastic chair, so this will not always be the best solution for the home.

For a child's room, it is important to choose a chair with practical upholstery.

What to look for when choosing a model

Before you order a chair you like or go to the store to look for it, it is advisable to decide on a few nuances. If you follow them, you definitely won’t go wrong, and your purchase will delight you, complement the interior of your home and delight your eyes for many years.

• Think about the style of both the room and the product itself. They may not coincide, but the model must still fit into the surrounding space.
• Think about what will be convenient and comfortable for you. Do you need armrests, what height should the back be? All this will narrow your search and allow you to immediately discard unsuitable options.
• Choose a material. It should fit the interior and be easy to clean. It is not advisable to purchase chairs that are difficult to care for.
• Decide on the location, because the shape and size of the future piece of furniture depend on this. It’s not good if it interferes with everything else, and you yourself regularly trip over it.

Created according to thoughtful designs and from high-quality materials, they are distinguished by a high level of comfort, ease of maintenance and durability. Due to their original shapes, they will definitely attract attention and become an integral part of the furniture.

A designer's flight of fancy - the appearance of an unusual chair

Here are some examples of the world's most beloved versions of original chairs:

• Swan. A bit like a clover shamrock with raised petals. The trapezoidal back with rounded edges only strengthens this association;
• Ball. This chair is called by many names – a globe, a ball. But the essence remains the same. It is a perfectly round body, truncated to fit inside the seat;
• Egg. Option 2. Initially, this chair was invented by Arne Jacobson. It resembled a cracked egg shell. Very cozy and comfortable. The popularity of the model prompted designer Ero Arnio to create a variation that is a full-fledged egg in a vertical section. The inside of the body is hollow, with soft textile upholstery and a soft seat;
• Diamond. The body is made of an original metal mesh with fancy curves. A light, airy, unusual chair will be an ideal addition to modern interiors;

• Tulip. It can be with or without sides, but differs in that it is invariably equipped with one leg on a round stand. It can be called a prototype of office chairs;
• Coconut. Reminiscent of a chipped piece of coconut shell placed on an elegant metal stand. Looks quite nice as dining chairs;
• Cone. A very original model, reminiscent of a shopping bag with a seat on a four-pointed cross. Can be performed with a split back. In this case, it resembles the shape of a heart;
• S chair. The very unusual contour cannot be confused with anything. The silhouette from the side really resembles the letter S. Despite the apparent instability, such a chair is extremely difficult to tip over. This is facilitated by the support placed far back. Smooth, streamlined contours will be a good addition to the round table. They look good even in a single setup.

The list of variations is simply huge. In addition to the legends listed, it is constantly updated with fresh ideas. It could be an animal figure, a chair with retro-style car headlights, or even a huge monstera leaf that doubles as a rocking chair. There are no limits to the wild imagination of designers.
