Kitchen chairs

Chairs for the kitchen are easy to use, but not suit­able for all rooms. These are large-sized pieces of fur­ni­ture, so it is some­times dif­fi­cult to place them in a small room. How­ev­er, in terms of com­fort, they are supe­ri­or to a sim­ple stool. There are many options for kitchen chairs. They dif­fer in height, soft­ness, reli­a­bil­i­ty, strength, mois­ture resis­tance.

The main cri­te­ri­on is com­fort dur­ing meals. Some users, on the con­trary, pre­fer style to con­ve­nience. If desired, you can choose a uni­ver­sal option that will meet the needs of dif­fer­ent users.

Features and Benefits

Kitchen chairs are found in sev­er­al vari­eties:

• soft;
• medi­um hard­ness;
• tough.

The last of the options is offered with­out uphol­stery. Such prod­ucts are attrac­tive and styl­ish, but they are not com­fort­able enough to sit on. Uphol­stered chairs and fur­ni­ture of medi­um firm­ness are made with uphol­stery in woven fab­ric, leather / leatherette. In any of the cas­es, the prod­ucts con­tain a filler. It can be horse hair, algae, coconut coir or polypropy­lene. The use of nat­ur­al mate­ri­als con­tributes to the rise in the cost of fur­ni­ture.

To choose the right chairs, it is rec­om­mend­ed to take into account the para­me­ters of the room in which they will be installed. So, pieces of fur­ni­ture should match the style of the inte­ri­or.

Take into account the dimen­sions of the room. Chairs for a small kitchen is bet­ter to choose the min­i­mum size. In addi­tion, it is not always pos­si­ble to arrange a suf­fi­cient num­ber of seats in the room. In this case, the chairs are com­bined with a soft cor­ner.

The advan­tages of such inte­ri­or items:

1. com­fort­able oper­a­tion, due to the pres­ence of a back, arm­rests, and some­times a soft filler;
2. if nec­es­sary, the seat is pushed under the table;
3. it becomes pos­si­ble to empha­size the style of the inte­ri­or.

Kinds

Exist­ing options that are dif­fer­ent in design:

• prod­ucts in a clas­sic style — with a high back, they often have arm­rests, but this is not a pre­req­ui­site;
• bar stools — on a stand, they are designed for rooms in which a bar counter is installed, some­times it is pos­si­ble to adjust the struc­ture in height;
• chair-chair for the kitchen — is com­fort­able to use, styl­ish, but at the same time quite a large prod­uct, it is suit­able for rooms that are char­ac­ter­ized by a large area.

There are fold­ing chairs, for exam­ple, a step-chair. This is a ver­sa­tile option that does not take up much space due to the design. In addi­tion, such prod­ucts per­form sev­er­al func­tions at the same time: you can sit on them, and such chairs are also used as a stand. If a lad­der is stored in the house, it can be replaced with a full-fledged piece of fur­ni­ture that is equipped with a hid­den lad­der. At the same time, space sav­ing and its prop­er use are not­ed.

Hard and soft chairs for the kitchen are found in dif­fer­ent designs, dif­fer­ent in the num­ber of addi­tion­al ele­ments:

1. with a back, with­out it;
2. with and with­out arm­rests.

The sec­ond option is often offered in the form of a bar stool. Prod­ucts in this group do not have arm­rests. In addi­tion, it is pos­si­ble to pur­chase chairs with adjustable height. This is nec­es­sary if fam­i­ly mem­bers of dif­fer­ent ages live in the house. Chairs are revolv­ing, rotat­ing prod­ucts are easy to use. To sit on such a piece of fur­ni­ture, you do not have to turn the entire struc­ture or approach it from one side. It is enough to turn the rotat­ing seat of the prod­uct.

If you have health prob­lems (spine), it is rec­om­mend­ed to con­sid­er pur­chas­ing an ortho­pe­dic chair. It fol­lows the nat­ur­al curves of the human body. In addi­tion, prod­ucts of this type may have mas­sage appli­ca­tors on the back.

Most pieces of fur­ni­ture are made of opaque mate­ri­als. To main­tain the light­ness of the cho­sen style of inte­ri­or, you can con­sid­er plas­tic chairs for the kitchen. In all respects, they meet the require­ments for pieces of fur­ni­ture that are intend­ed for use in the kitchen.

The advan­tage of plas­tic prod­ucts is light­ness, resis­tance to mois­ture, orig­i­nal­i­ty of design. Often they are char­ac­ter­ized by com­pact dimen­sions. Trans­par­ent chairs for the kitchen are made from this mate­r­i­al. Such prod­ucts add light to the room, because. let the sun’s rays through.

materials

Com­mer­cial­ly avail­able options:

1. Wood­en.
2. Plas­tic.
3. Met­al.
4. Rat­tan struc­tures.

Wood prod­ucts are the most pre­ferred option for res­i­den­tial use. Struc­tures can be made of oak, pine, spruce.

This is due to the fol­low­ing fac­tors:

• attrac­tive­ness;
• light woody aro­ma in the kitchen;
• strength.

If desired, unpaint­ed prod­ucts are pur­chased. They are treat­ed with var­nish, but there are also uncoat­ed chairs, but treat­ed with an anti­sep­tic and care­ful­ly pol­ished. Such prod­ucts will exude a light aro­ma of wood, and the nat­ur­al tex­ture is pre­served. It is impor­tant that the piece of fur­ni­ture can be restored in the future. Then it will last much longer. If you need to choose pieces of fur­ni­ture to match the col­or scheme of the inte­ri­or, you should con­sid­er mod­els that are close in shade to the design of the room, a uni­ver­sal option is white chairs for the kitchen.

Wood­en chairs are infre­quent­ly exposed to direct expo­sure to water, so con­sid­er an option that is easy to use. Main cri­te­ria: ease of pro­cess­ing, care.

Met­al ana­logues can be made in two ver­sions:

• stain­less steel;
• from lighter mate­r­i­al — chrome-plat­ed.

The advan­tages include a long ser­vice life, easy main­te­nance. How­ev­er, met­al struc­tures are often heavy. It is rec­om­mend­ed to con­sid­er prod­ucts that are made of hol­low ele­ments. Fur­ni­ture of this type is hard, so it is bet­ter to choose options with soft uphol­stery. More­over, the filler in most cas­es is pro­vid­ed not only in the seat itself, but also in the back. Such pieces of fur­ni­ture should be com­fort­able to sit on. Chairs with a soft back can be more expen­sive than a more rigid coun­ter­part.

Rat­tan prod­ucts rep­re­sent a high price cat­e­go­ry of goods, but they look attrac­tive. How­ev­er, they can not be installed in all rooms. Wick­er fur­ni­ture is more suit­able for a rus­tic style, coun­try house.

How to choose

Before buy­ing, you need to con­sid­er the fol­low­ing para­me­ters:

• col­or of prod­ucts, their com­pli­ance with the style of the object;
• dimen­sions of fur­ni­ture, premis­es, espe­cial­ly in the case when the area is small;
• prod­uct con­fig­u­ra­tion: the loca­tion of the legs, the shape of the seat (square, round), you need to take into account the para­me­ters of the table;
• seat height;
• prod­uct design: take into account the type of fit­tings, acces­sories.

If the ques­tion is being decid­ed which chairs to choose for the kitchen, you should con­sid­er options that com­bine all the nec­es­sary para­me­ters, but are offered at an afford­able price. And not always met­al and wood are more expen­sive. Design­er plas­tic chairs can also rep­re­sent a high price cat­e­go­ry.

Color solutions

For a clas­sic-style kitchen, it is rec­om­mend­ed to choose wood­en pieces of fur­ni­ture dec­o­rat­ed in a neu­tral col­or palette. There are two options:

1. the pur­chase of chairs in dis­creet col­ors (white, beige, milky, etc.), in this case, the empha­sis is on oth­er ele­ments of the inte­ri­or, you can do with­out con­trast­ing col­ors;
2. the use of prod­ucts in bright col­ors: green, red, blue, lilac, pur­ple, etc., while there should be no oth­er accents.

It is not nec­es­sary to choose all pieces of fur­ni­ture in one shade. Chairs may dif­fer by one or more tones from the table. In this case, the cho­sen col­or should be in har­mo­ny with the inte­ri­or items in the room.

If you plan to pur­chase a set, table and chairs, then this option is rec­om­mend­ed to be con­sid­ered for a kitchen dec­o­rat­ed in a sim­i­lar shade. Then there will be no dishar­mo­ny in the inte­ri­or.

The choice of shade for chairs depends on the mate­r­i­al from which the pieces of fur­ni­ture are made. For exam­ple, plas­tic mod­els or ana­logues from anoth­er mate­r­i­al, but with fab­ric / leatherette uphol­stery, are rep­re­sent­ed by a wide range of options that are dif­fer­ent in col­or. Wood­en chairs are often offered in sooth­ing col­ors. If nec­es­sary, they are paint­ed in the desired col­or. Met­al prod­ucts are rep­re­sent­ed by a chrome-plat­ed ver­sion of the design. To make them more inter­est­ing, use uphol­stery.

The size

The main para­me­ters are: the length of the side of the seat (seat) and its height rel­a­tive to the floor. Thanks to these char­ac­ter­is­tics, it becomes pos­si­ble to make the right choice — tak­ing into account the prop­er­ties of the kitchen table. Dif­fer­ent design solu­tions for bar stools can be con­sid­ered, while the height is stan­dard — 60 cm. Clas­sic mod­els with arm­rests and a back are always low­er. The height of the seat at the same time varies between 47–50 cm.

Fittings and accessories

In order for pieces of fur­ni­ture to dec­o­rate the room, it is rec­om­mend­ed to pur­chase mod­els equipped with high-qual­i­ty fas­ten­ers. This is a guar­an­tee of a long peri­od of oper­a­tion. Inex­pen­sive fit­tings are of poor qual­i­ty and quick­ly lose their appeal.

Beau­ti­ful decor ele­ments of fur­ni­ture should be used spar­ing­ly. Abuse of them will lead to a dete­ri­o­ra­tion in the exter­nal qual­i­ties of the struc­ture, as well as the inte­ri­or.

Before buy­ing, you should pay atten­tion to the instal­la­tion method of fit­tings. In these areas there should be no chips, leaks. This is espe­cial­ly true of fas­ten­ers, which are locat­ed in plain sight. In order not to draw atten­tion to it, use stubs. How­ev­er, if pos­si­ble, prod­ucts with hid­den fas­ten­ers are select­ed for the kitchen.

Interesting solutions in interior design

To save space, you should con­sid­er pieces of fur­ni­ture that do not take up much space. Among them are trans­form­ers for the kitchen. If a pantry is pro­vid­ed in the room, most of the fur­ni­ture can be stored here.

Design­er chairs for the kitchen should be con­sid­ered for large spaces. Such prod­ucts often dif­fer in non-stan­dard con­fig­u­ra­tion. This changes the loca­tion of the legs, the shape of the seat and back­rest. Togeth­er they get orig­i­nal fur­ni­ture that can become a dec­o­ra­tion of the room. How­ev­er, this is only pos­si­ble if the mod­el has been cho­sen cor­rect­ly.

The choice of chairs for the kitchen is made tak­ing into account the shade of the floor­ing, walls, inte­ri­or and house­hold items. An inter­est­ing option is the design of the kitchen, which involves the pos­si­bil­i­ty of acquir­ing bright-col­ored fur­ni­ture. The tone should res­onate with small details in the inte­ri­or. Most of the sur­faces and objects of the room are dec­o­rat­ed in neu­tral col­ors.
