Chairs for the kitchen with armrests - the subtleties of choice

When designing furniture is usually picked up last. This makes sense - in stores a large selection of kitchen sets, tables and chairs. You can always choose what you like. But if for small kitchens they often purchase stools, then larger rooms can be allowed to have more interesting furniture, for example, chairs with armrests.

Depending on the appearance, design, height, all chairs for the kitchen are divided into several types.

• Classical the kitchen version without armrests has a standard seat depth and backrest;

• At the stool there are no backrest and armrests, it freely slides under the table;

• Bar the chair can be in the form of a stool, a classic chair or a chair with armrests. A distinctive feature is the height of the legs;

• Child the stool is a special design with a back fixing children;

• Dining a chair with armrests (a chair or a semi-chair) is the most comfortable of all types, as it has a back and a place for convenient positioning of hands, but also the most dimensional.

Dining chairs are made of many materials, which allows you to beautifully present them in the interior of the kitchen.

• Wooden chairs - expensive, but beautiful option, allowing to use such furniture in kitchens of the corresponding style. Wood, varnished, will last a long time.
• Rattan allows you to weave unusually beautiful things and make the kitchen cozy and homely. The strength of the rattan will allow you to make high-quality furniture, and additional cushions on the seats will make them even more comfortable.

• Chairs metal frame can be completely made of metal or combined with another material. Most often, this furniture is supplied with wheels for free movement of heavy seats.
• Plastic chairs are in demand both from apartment owners, and from owners of country houses and cottages. They are represented by the widest range.But cheap options have an unpleasant smell and are quite fragile.

• Furniture from composite materials most affordable in terms of price and quality, although not very durable.
• Chair from veneered MDF very similar to wood, but it does not make a curved decor.
• Painted MDF, perhaps the most elegant, but not resistant to mechanical damage. Therefore, combine the seat with metal legs.

• Laminated chipboard - a popular budget chair for the kitchen. Since the laminate can have a completely unusual coloring, it will be easy to choose chairs for any decor.
• Tempered glass armchairs - a very beautiful solution for a large kitchen with a glass table. This glass is hypoallergenic, easy to clean, no odor. A special technique of dyeing glass "Lakobel" will allow you to purchase not only transparent armchairs, but also furniture of bright colors. For ease of use, you can put pillows or skins on the seat.

Convenience dining chair depends on its size. It should be free and comfortable both on the back and on the arms and legs. The dining table should be of such height that the feet of the legs can be placed on the floor completely, the lower leg and thigh must form an angle of 90 degrees.Bar stools should have a footrest for this purpose. The height of the seat helps to change the model with a height adjustment.

The depth of the standard seat is usually 40-45 cm, then the edge of the chair will not rest against the knees. The standard width is also about 40 cm. If the standard depth fits many, then the width must be selected individually before purchase, especially since a chair with an armrest can be inconvenient due to this parameter. The back is made vertically straight or at an angle of 2-5 degrees. For people with a sore back, this indicator is very important, as is the softness of the dining chair.

The color choice of the semi-chairs should be in harmony with the rest of the furniture, curtains, flooring, walls. Chairs can be a link between all objects or a bright focus on the general background. To solve the problem of the color of the dining chairs, you can use covers, cushions, seat cushions or by replacing the upholstered upholstered chair.

The selected color will help to present the designer's idea favorably:

• In a wooden kitchen, chairs can have natural wood-wenge colors, but can be painted with acrylic white paint, imitating antiquity.
• Bright colored chairs will make the kitchen sunny, bright, uplifting. The main thing - do not overdo it with a variety of colors. Nonstandard purple equilibrate dark green. But the combination of purple and blue will completely different color accents depending on the amount of a particular color.

• White chairs fit, perhaps, to any interior. Black - to many. But the combination of white and black is an eternal classic that makes the kitchen exquisitely noble.
• Orange chairs, "suns" will make the kitchen cozy and warm. Yellow is very beautiful and will unexpectedly be combined with red.
• Blue color causes appetite, and in large quantities - apathy. So, you need to choose a middle ground that will make the kitchen a place of rest.

• Salad chairs with armrests (soft upholstery, flowers) will give peace of mind to the interior. The combination of light green and lilac will focus on such upholstery.
• Burgundy chairs better liven up with the color of powder (perhaps a shade of pink) or contrast with light green or lemon.
• For small kitchens you need a competent combination of light and dark.What gets dirty most (hobs, work tables) can be dark, but curtains and chairs are light, for example, a brown stove and a table in combination with beige or cream curtains and dining chairs.

If it is difficult to decide on the choice of color or finishing the kitchen of complex colors, then you can buy transparent furniture. It will unload the color scheme of the room and visually increase the space.

Dining chairs with armrests are presented in three types.

• Soft: seat, backrest and armrests of a moderate degree of softness, so that it is comfortable to sit at the dining table.

• Tough: the construction is made entirely of solid materials. It is easy to care for them, they are durable, but it is inconvenient to sit on them for a long time.

• Combined: the seat (and / or armrests, back), which put a natural or artificial soft layer, upholstered in thick cloth or leather. It is comfortable to sit on such chairs, but they need extra care, sometimes upholstery replacement.

Upholstered chairs in the kitchen fail faster because they absorb odors, lose their elasticity, are subject to pollution, but it is much more convenient to sit on them.For upholstery of dining chairs, materials of various degrees of strength are used: from less durable lightweight chenille, termojakkarda, cotton, scotchgard to natural leather.

This also includes the following:

• Arpatek and eco-leather (artificial skin options);
• Pork or calfskin (option of inexpensive natural leather);
• Dense chenille, chenille Jacquard, suede, tapestry (representatives of dense fabrics).

The choice of upholstery depends on the expected amount of pollution: a colored tapestry for young children and animals will be a temptation. Therefore, for the upholstery have the following requirements: water-repellent properties or ease of care for the material, as well as strength.

By design, kitchen chairs are classified as follows:

• Monolithic (suitable for large kitchen),
• Folding (help out in a small apartment, since the extra chairs can be folded and removed from the kitchen),
• Stackable (convenient during cleaning, but among the chairs with armrests there are few such models).

How many eras and centuries people have experienced, so many styles of furniture exist. They are distinguished by simplicity and pretentiousness, functionality and convenience.

• Classic chairs are wood.But then the concept of “classic” can be read in different ways: classic wooden chairs with armrests from the Soviet past can be called classic, but a semi-chair with carved white legs, a blue floral tapestry and the same back is a vivid example of the age-old classic style.
• Provence - this is also a tree, but without pretentiousness. On the seat can lie a small pad, trimmed with canvas or in a flower cover. The chair itself can be a natural color or covered with white acrylic paint with a patina.

• Scandinavian the style was originally represented only by wood, now plastic and metal are used. In any case, conciseness, simplicity, a certain severity are important.
• It seems that in japanese style not particularly honored chairs. But they have very interesting models of dining chairs on the usual legs, and also without them, but with the back and armrests. The Japanese use the natural colors of wood, but do not forget the national motifs.

• Oriental style is similar to the Japanese, but more vivid, racy. Although there are more familiar options. There are both hard half chairs, and soft and combined.
• High tech - It is chrome steel, glass, possibly plastic. In the general interior of the kitchen, it will look fascinating, but it is difficult to combine with other styles.

• Contemporary styles like bright plastic, glass. Depending on the style, an explosion of colors or a laconic minimum of color can be used.
• Viennese the chairs are beech wood bent under the steam, from which elegant furniture is obtained.

The reasons for decorating dining chairs can be several.

• The desire to give a single look to the kitchen.
• The need to update the interior.
• The desire to decorate the room for a specific event in a particular style (for example, the meeting of the year of the red rooster).

Covers can be knitted, including thematic, for example, Christmas caps or snowmen. In addition, on New Year's Day, you can decorate the chairs themselves with tinsel, unbreakable Christmas decorations and small gifts for guests. The chair for the child can be decorated with a pattern on the seat or back. To paint longer preserved, it must be covered with furniture lacquer.

Having become accustomed to the classical arrangement of furniture (all chairs should be the same), it is difficult to imagine other design options. Nevertheless, they are.

• All chairs can be of different designs: with and without backs, with and without armrests, of different designs, but they are made in the same color.
• The opposite option - armchairs of the same design - with armrests, but in different colors.

• All chairs can be made of the same material, but at the same time in a different design solution.
• Dining chairs can be of the same or different colors, but be sure to contrast different designs to create the impression of the ease of side chairs and the heaviness of the end.
• Due to the height of the backrest, it is interesting to beat different chairs.

• All chairs can be made in the same style, but at the same time be different in design, color, upholstery.
• Among the group of chairs around the dining table, one chair is accentuated, that is, of a different design or color.

Having understood the types, types and material used in the manufacture of chairs with armrests, you can proceed to the selection. One of the decisive factors will be the availability of space around the dinner table, but there are others.

You need to think about the following characteristics:

• Cost;
• Material;
• Design;
• Type of construction;

• Strength;
• Convenience;
• Moisture resistance;

• Way of leaving;

But there is a drawback that can outweigh: the need for a large amount of space. Small kitchens fit only folding types of designs.
