100 best ideas: a chair in the interior in the photo

Armchairs have become an integral attribute of a modern home. It is difficult to say even how long the first options appeared for a comfortable fit, rest, implementation of various work processes and creative activities. Not only in the living rooms you can find a chair in modern apartments and private houses. Cabinets, bedrooms, children's rooms, dining rooms and even utilitarian spaces are equipped with chairs of various modifications. The assortment of modern furniture stores is staggering - not to count the models, frame options, the choice of upholstery material and the functions that this necessary piece of furniture can perform. Let's take a closer look at the criteria for choosing chairs for the various needs of a modern homeowner.

Preparatory work. Seat classification

You should not go to the store or to the expanses of Internet sites in search of the right chair, without presenting in detail what it should be. And it's not just the design of the piece of furniture, its color and texture. It is necessary to consider a lot of nuances. To begin with, we decide on the purpose of the piece of furniture:

for which room an armchair is purchased (living room, bedroom, nursery, dining room or auxiliary room) - not only the model, but also the upholstery fabric, color scheme, furniture functionality will depend on the location;
the chair will be used as a place for a short rest or a long one, or maybe it is necessary for working at home (office, workshop or workplace in any room of an apartment or house) - the height of the backrest, the presence of armrests, the ability to adjust various parts of the product will depend on this;
should the chair serve as a berth, i.e. have a folding mechanism.

Classification of seats by type of construction. It should be noted right away that the assortment of the modern market for upholstered furniture for various rooms is incredibly wide. Often, a model can combine several functional and design features. Therefore, the separation by type of construction can be called conditional:

traditional armchairs for rest, they are stable models for a comfortable location and relaxation, most often they have soft seats;

chair bed combines the functionality of a place for sitting and relaxing, as well as a sleeping place (convenient for modest rooms with the need to create additional sleeping space for guests). The chair-bed can have a folding or pull-out mechanism for transformation into a berth. The Russian manufacturer is distinguished by the release of fairly large-scale models of chair beds. But European companies offer fairly compact models for sale, but their cost is significantly higher than domestic counterparts;

recliners - These are reclining chair models. This type of furniture can be classified as a superior class (a cross between traditional and folding chairs). Using a mechanical mechanism or an electric drive, you can adjust the position of the back of the chair, providing not only the most comfortable, but also ergonomic arrangement in the chair, in which the body will receive a high load on various parts of the back and neck;

computer or office chairs - designed for long-term placement for work at home and most often equipped with mechanisms for adjusting the height of the seat, the position of the back. As a rule, such chairs are equipped with armrests, can rotate;

child seats most often represented by transforming models, have compact dimensions;

frameless chairs represent a cover with synthetic filler. The advantage of such models is the ability to take anatomically correct shape while sitting. Bean bags are indicated for people with diseases of the back, pregnant and lactating women. Expanded polystyrene or syntepuh (balls made of siliconized fiber) can act as a filler. The fabric for the execution of the cover is selected depending on the purpose of the room and its stylistic performance.

In a separate group I would like to make the so-called "double char" chairs. This is a design of a comfortable chair and footrest for him. Typically, such chairs are supplied, obi designs have one stylistic and color design, upholstery fabric ...

But in modern design projects, you can also find the original use of a chair and a stand for it in various designs. For example, stylistically both parts of the ensemble can be performed identically, but have different upholstery colors (the stand can even be covered with material with a pattern, furniture fur with different pile lengths can differ in texture).

The advantage of such models is that the footrest can also be used as an independent piece of furniture - to seat guests on it, in case of a reception or party. Some stand forks can be used as an island - if there is a tray, this piece of furniture can be used as a coffee or coffee table. But, of course, the double char models are suitable for medium and spacious rooms that do not experience a shortage of free square meters.

In turn, lounge chairs are divided into the following types of structures:

traditional armchairs with a soft seat and a rigidly fixed back. Such models can be equipped with armrests (in some cases come with a footrest);

rocking chair with a frame made of various materials (wood, plastic, lightweight metal, in the form of a wicker structure). Most often, such models have soft seats, backs, equipped with armrests;

hanging chairs - can be attached directly to the ceiling or floor elements (ceiling beams);

chair lifts from the line of so-called "smart furniture". These models are ideal for people with disabilities. You can adjust the height of the chair with a simple press of a lever or button. In some models, it is possible, among other things, to adjust the angle of the backrest to the height of the armrests. The design of the seats is the most diverse, but the cost is quite high;

chaise lounges are models on metal, wooden or bamboo frames with soft seats and backs;

Wicker furniture has long ceased to be the prerogative only for garden plots and only act as furniture for arranging a veranda of a country house. In modern design projects, it is increasingly possible to find pieces of furniture made from vines, rattan, water hyacinth, bamboo, walnut and reed rods.

Modern wicker furniture, in addition to its obvious environmental friendliness, boasts a sufficiently high strength, durability and wear resistance. Such chairs can be washed. Surprisingly, in the past it was exclusively garden furniture that organically fits into the modern style of room decoration, combining perfectly with wood, metal and glass.

If we talk about stylistic trends in the performance of chairs of various models, then we can distinguish the following types:

classic armchairs, as a rule, are made of expensive wood, high-quality materials are used for upholstery, perhaps the presence of decor, carving, shiny hardware. The legs of the seats may be slightly bent. As a rule, chairs have a soft seat and back, equipped with armrests;

ethnic style armchairs are most often made from natural material - rattan, vines. A soft backing in the area of the seat and back can be used on top of the wicker frame;

country style armchairs most often have a wooden frame, sometimes in intentionally rough processing. Fabric covers may contain a floral print;

retro style is reflected in the lounge chairs. Products with a metal, wooden frame and soft seats and backrest fit perfectly into the modern interior;

convenient in operation, most often compact, comfortable models in the so-called modern style, can not only become a successful addition to the soft sitting area of the living room, but can also be used in other rooms of the dwelling.

The color scheme of armchairs for a modern interior

Neutral options

Some living rooms do not have large-scale pieces of furniture such as sofas. As a result, the main load on the formation of the color palette of the soft rest area is carried by the armchairs (usually 3 or 4 objects). Depending on the chosen gamut of the decoration of the room, you can either organically fit the color scheme of the chairs into the overall picture, or make them an accent element of the interior. Here are the design projects of the living rooms, in which the chairs are executed in neutral colors, harmoniously integrated into the interior.

What could be more neutral than gray? Universal, easily combined with almost any color scheme of decoration and execution of other interior items, gray color and all its shades will be an excellent addition to the interior, decorated in a variety of stylistic directions. The gray upholstery is practical and versatile.

The snow-white design of the seats can also be attributed to neutral color options. After all, white does not need to worry about combinatorics, it is combined with absolutely all shades. White color invariably brings a festive, solemn mood into the interior of any room. But it is important to understand that in the boiling white design of the chair, special attention must be paid to the selection of finishing material. The most practical will be upholstery made of genuine or artificial leather in white.

Almost all beige shades can be considered neutral. They help to create a comfortable atmosphere in the room, in which one wants to relax. The advantage is that the beige color, even very light, brings warmth to the color picture of the interior.

Upholstery with print for the original chair

Modern models of armchairs for the most part have a monophonic upholstery color scheme. The more original and creative your room design will be when using armchairs with printed upholstery. If we talk about the traditional stylistic designs of the chairs, most of them have a floral pattern on the fabric. For a classic, neo-classical style of room decoration, this option will be more than appropriate. A chair with a pattern can be organically entered into the design of a room decorated in the style of shabby chic, Provence, romantic and eclecticism.

The geometric print is not only graphic and contrasting, it can become an accent element in any interior decorated in neutral colors. A chair with a cage or strip upholstery is simply doomed to increased attention.

Armchair as an accent element of the interior

For the chair, you can leave the role of the accent element. In the living room, decorated in neutral or light colors, a brighter upholstery of the piece of furniture will be enough. In a room with a rather colorful interior, you can use a chair with printed upholstery, but in this case, all other design elements of the common room should be plain.

If the living room is made in bright colors (decoration and basic interior items are white or pastel color), then for armchairs, to become accent elements, it is enough to have a dark upholstery. Obviously, the dark color of the fabric is very practical and ideal for homes with small children and / or pets.

Armchair not only for the living room

Bedroom

Even in a modest bedroom, you can find an opportunity to arrange a reading corner. To do this, it’s enough to install a small table-stand, a floor lamp, a table lamp or a wall sconce next to a comfortable armchair and a comfortable sitting area is ready.

If the bedroom has sufficient quadrature, you can not be limited to one armchair, but to install a couple of convenient models, equipping a recreation area or boudoir with a coffee table. Any kind of backlight will not be amiss - from a table lamp to a floor lamp.

In the bedroom with a bay window, a pair of armchairs literally "begs" for the organization of a comfortable sitting area or guest segment.

Children's room

In the children's room, you can install not only height-adjustable models of chairs for children. In the room for the newborn, a chair is simply necessary for parents. Most often, models of rocking chairs are chosen, on which it is not only convenient to sit for relaxation, but also to rock the child before bedtime. It will also be convenient to install a chair-bag, which at first can serve as a convenient place to relax a nursing mother, and later will be used by a child (for children, such models are recommended by specialists as ergonomic and anatomically correct).

Dining room

If your home has a separate room for the organization of the dining segment, then it’s a sin not to take this opportunity and not organize meals under the most convenient conditions. You can use mini-chairs or chair-chairs for installation around the dining table or limited to compact models for the smallest sides of a rectangular tabletop.

Cabinet

In the office or in the workplace area, located in the bedroom or living room, the chair can be used not only as an attribute for a desk or computer desk. If the area of the room allows, you can organize a relaxation or negotiation area by installing two (or more) chairs, a small table-stand and lamps of any modification.

Ancillary facilities

The chair can be installed not only in places of rest, work or creative activities. In utility rooms, such as an entrance hall, a corridor, landings and spaces under stairs, chairs can be used quite actively. For example, the space under the stairs can be equipped with a reading corner. It’s enough to organize a light source next to the chair.
