Types of chairs
from the manufacturer

There are many types of kitchen chairs, and to choose the right one, you should consider the type of your table and the style of the room. The main types of seating furniture are:

  • Stools are the perfect choice for those who value compactness and minimalism. These small but functional seats are perfect for kitchens with limited space. Stools easily hide under the table, freeing up space in the room and not cluttering up the space.
  • Chairs with backrests are a classic element for dining areas, providing the necessary support and comfort. They usually feature soft upholstery on the back and seat, making them comfortable for long gatherings and meals.
  • Armchairs are the epitome of comfort and coziness. These models are perfect for long dinners, creating a comfortable place to relax. The armrests provide additional support for the arms, making them a great choice for those who like to spend time at the table, enjoying food and conversation.
  • Bar stools are tall and elegant, specially designed for use with bar tables and counters. Bar stools can have both upholstered and wooden seats, giving you the opportunity to choose the right level of comfort and style for your kitchen.
  • Semi-bar stools are a universal solution for tables of non-standard height. They occupy an intermediate position between regular and bar models, providing comfort when sitting at medium-height tables.

Which kitchen chairs to buy depends on the overall interior design and functional requirements. For example, for a large space with a full dining area, it is recommended to buy kitchen chairs with a backrest and armrests, while for small kitchens it may be more comfortable to choose a bar table and chairs that are suitable in height, a bar or semi-bar.

Chair materials
for the kitchen

Modern kitchen chairs can be made of different materials, each of which has its own characteristics. Before giving preference to one or another option, consider the differences between the presented models.

Chair base

The frame of a kitchen chair can be made of various materials, the most popular of which are metal and wood. High-quality wooden chairs are most often made of beech and oak. Oak chairs are slightly more expensive than beech, but this is justified by the cost of the material and its external characteristics. Oak is more porous and diverse in texture, with it it is easy to achieve a special authentic and natural effect of the interior. And beech chairs have a more neutral wood pattern and will organically complement the interior in soft nude shades. Today, the most relevant wooden chairs are natural, tinted or painted. As for metal in chairs, modern designs offer a combination of a metal elegant support with a curved wooden or plastic seat and back. Strong and durable, they fit well into interiors with a Scandi aesthetic due to the light, elegant shape of the support in the natural color of the metal or painting, and the combination with the natural material in the case of the wooden seat.

Soft elements

Kitchen chairs can be purchased with fabric or leather upholstery. The fabric is dense and wear-resistant, but requires periodic professional cleaning and care. It allows you to choose a wide range of colors and textures to match the interior. Leather is easy to clean, most dirt can be easily removed with a damp soft sponge. Of course, preference should be given to genuine leather, it is durable and practical, suitable for creating a luxurious and elegant look. Using removable chair cushions can be a good solution, they are easy to wash, temporarily remove, for example, for the summer, replace and even change to cushions of other colors according to your mood.

Selection recommendations
kitchen chairs

When choosing which kitchen chairs to buy, it is important to consider different aspects – the seat, the back, the armrests. Each of these elements plays an important role in ensuring the comfort and functionality of the chair. Sometimes it only takes one sitting on an uncomfortable chair to realize how important it is to choose the right one.

Seat

Chair seats should be comfortable and ergonomic to ensure comfort during prolonged use. Ideal seats have a curved shape that supports the natural curves of the body, and can also be supplemented with soft cushions for comfort. Types of seats:

  • Hard ones are practical and easy to care for, but less comfortable with prolonged use. They are usually made of wood or plastic and can have different shapes and designs.
  • Soft - provide a high level of comfort due to the presence of upholstery and elastic filler. Can be covered with fabric or leather and require careful care, but provide maximum comfort.

The choice of seat type depends on your preferences, how much time you plan to spend at the table and how much attention you are willing to pay to care for the chairs. For example, if you have pets or children, it will be easier to keep chairs with a wooden seat or a soft one with genuine leather upholstery neat and clean. ReStyle believes that even such a seemingly simple element as a chair should not only complement the interior picture, but also bring additional comfort to everyday life. Therefore, ReStyle designers take into account all these features and help to individually choose the best option for each of their clients.

Back

The back of a kitchen chair plays a key role in providing comfort. A good back supports the lower back and repeats the natural curves of the back, which is especially important for long gatherings. The back can be high or medium height, depending on the style and purpose of the kitchen chairs. High backs provide more support and are suitable for long sitting. Medium backs are more versatile and suitable for most interiors.

Armrests

Armrests add convenience, especially if you spend a lot of time at your desk. They should be properly positioned and comfortable for support, but not interfere with using the chair. When choosing, pay attention to the height and shape of the armrests:

  • Height - comfortable for arm support, should not be too high or low so as not to create discomfort, the best way to determine your height is by researching by sitting on different chairs.
  • The shape can be straight, on such armrests you can put a cup or put a phone, or a curved shape, on which you can spread your arms or lean with your elbow.
