You can pick up chairs not only for the living room, but also for the kitchen - a lot of options. These can be chairs with a soft or rigid back and a seat, chairs with armrests (if space allows) and without them.

The choice of design depends on the size of the kitchen, on its style decision, on the taste priorities of the owners and, of course, on their financial capabilities. In one, experts in the field of furniture interiors agree: the minimum number of seats should be equal to the number of people living in the apartment. And ideally there should be some kind of reserve for guests.If the area of ​​your kitchen does not allow you to place a large amount of furniture for seating, think about the option of folding chairs. They can also be with a padded seat. If you think a folding design is not too reliable for daily use, you can think of a combined version when there are several stationary models and pick up as close as possible in design and color folding items.

For the frame of modern furniture using various materials. Most often it is wood and metal. However, there are design samples from plastic and even glass. Glass models belong rather to the category of avant-garde design and are not used by the masses, and plastic furniture does not belong to the category of soft.

In addition, the metal is very practical and easy to use. Unlike plastic, he is not afraid of large temperature differences, it is more durable and does not lose its properties over time.

However, he, too, is not without flaws. First of all, it is a coloring. Her choice is not as rich as plastic. The weight of metal structures is also relatively large, so cleaning the kitchen can be somewhat hampered by the need to raise and lower chairs.

The furniture from an integral massif always belonged to the category elite. This is an indicator of respectability and solvency of the owners.

Too expensive fabric for soft kitchen seats is not recommended for reasons of practicality. Velvet, velor, suede, flock, jacquard - all these wonderful fabrics are reserved for living rooms. For the kitchen is suitable, for example, genuine leather or scotchgard.An alternative to expensive upholstery can be removable chair covers that can be easily replaced in the event of pollution.

As an upholstery for upholstered furniture elements, all versions of artificial leather: eco-leather, vinyl, dermantin, etc. Many of the fabric samples are not inferior in their aesthetic properties to natural materials. Such covers will certainly appeal to animal advocates, as well as those who believe that using natural leather for furniture upholstery is an unforgivable luxury.
