How to Choose Chairs For The Kitchen

The choice of direction for interior decoration in the kitchen will dictate the tone of the kitchen setting.

How do some models of chairs differ from others, and what characteristics should a set of chairs for the kitchen have? In this simple guide, you can figure out exactly what to focus on when choosing them.

There are simply no correct and standard answers to the question of how to choose kitchen chairs. However, there are key points that will help solve this problem.

 

Model selection

Many of us imagine kitchen chairs in a fairly standard way: medium-height models with backs. However, there are other alternatives such as bar sets, benches, understated models, and stools.

Bar stools are the classic choice for a bar counter or kitchen island. If you prefer to decorate your home in an Asian style - with a low table, then you need to choose the appropriate chairs. Benches instead of chairs are appropriate for a Scandinavian or boho-style room.

 

A question of style

The choice of direction for interior decoration in the kitchen will dictate the tone of the kitchen setting. Accordingly, it is necessary to choose suitable furniture silhouettes and upholstery types. Classic interiors require strict silhouettes of furniture, minimalistic ones need laconic forms.

You should also take into account the style of the rest of the furniture. If you have chosen a sufficiently effective table and headset, then it is better to choose chairs with fewer details in the design. If you rely on simplicity of forms, then you can choose rather expressive chairs.

 

Palette

Choosing the color of the chairs is also not so easy, because it is necessary to take into account a number of aspects, including: the shade of the table and headset, the presence of color accents in the room, the general color scheme of the interior, the level of lighting, as well as the contrast of the situation.

 

With the help of a well-chosen shade of chairs, you can correct some mistakes in the design of the kitchen:

"Inexpressive interior?" - You can choose colored contrasting furnishings.
"Is the environment too dull?" - Accent and vibrant models will bring her to life.
"No patterns or patterns?" - Expressive ornament for accessories.
"Sluggish dynamics in the room?" - Colorful upholstery.
"No volumetric interior?" - Chairs a couple of shades lighter or darker.
"Too light and airy kitchen?" - Contrasting furniture, preferably darker.
"An abundance of flowers?" - Chairs that are chosen to match some other element of the furnishings.
"Is it too dark?" - Light chairs.
"Not enough dedicated dining group?" - Chairs to match the table.
"Visual congestion?" - Transparent chairs or option to match the table.
Remember, the most trending shades today are the natural palette. These colors are suitable for any style, as well as for a kitchen of any size.

 

Frame

When choosing chairs for the kitchen, you must take into account the specifics of the interior. For eco-style, wooden or metal models will be the best option; high-tech style will go well with plastic. Wicker chairs will look good in a country kitchen - unnatural materials are rarely recognized in this direction.

 

Practicality

If the cooking area and dining room are close by, then you need to choose chairs made of materials that are easy to care for. For families with pets or small children, vandal-proof furniture options are required.

 

Durability

Of course, leather upholstery for chairs will last longer than textile upholstery. And models made of expensive types of wood will last for decades, in comparison with budget models made of aluminum and plastic.

 

The size

Another point that is easy to make a mistake with is the size of the furniture. There are no clear standards in this matter, here it is important to consider parameters such as the height of the footrest and armrests, the depth of the seat, and the width of the back. Pay attention to whether the purchase matches the table and dining area.

It is important that these chairs are comfortable to sit on. In this case, it is not at all necessary that the chairs fully match the shade of the table.

An important bonus is the ability to slide chairs under the dining table. For this, it is also necessary to take into account their dimensions.

 

Individual sensations

The main point when choosing chairs for the kitchen is your personal feeling when using. You should be comfortable to sit on the selected furniture, therefore it is recommended to test it in the showroom.
