Armchair for the kitchen, assembling kitchen sofas with your own hands: instructions, photo and video tutorials, price

Kitchen interior with armchair

If we talk about kitchen furniture and armchairs, then it should be noted that this element cannot always be used in the kitchen space. Firstly, the kitchen chair has large dimensions, so it is not recommended to install it in small rooms. Secondly, it is not always possible to fit it into the intended interior. Therefore, it is necessary to think over everything well before purchasing it.

Let's start our conversation with the fact that today kitchen furniture manufacturers offer three free-standing seating options:

• Stool;
• Chair;
• Chair-chair.

We will not include sofas and soft corners in this list, because the topic of our article is kitchen chairs. And they act as the main alternative to chairs, so we are talking about them.

Convenience of the selected seating piece of furniture

Chairs in the kitchen - always convenient and comfortable

Why do many consumers dislike stools for kitchen, because they are not so inconvenient as to refuse them. That's right, but these conveniences are minimal. This design has no back or armrests. You won't be able to sit on them for a long time.

Stools

But if we talk about the advantages of stools, then I would like to note

• High mobility of this item;
• Ease of construction;
• Can be pushed under the dining table for more space.

Chairs

Of course, the chair wins in many ways. And here its back plays an important role. The convenience of this piece of furniture is clearly higher, but, as often happens, this indicator mainly depends on the material from which it is made. And if the seat is made of wood and the back is made of metal, then the convenience is reduced to nothing.

In addition, manufacturers try to focus on beauty (design) and quality of materials. And ease of use, unfortunately, fades into the background. Of course, it should be noted that the softness of the seats is determined by the quality of the upholstery and filling. But a lot of kitchen chairs are flat seating with no filler or padding.

Armchairs

The armchair in the kitchen is the next step when it comes to the pyramid of kitchen furniture comfort. It is not at the very top, but closer to it. Its design includes both the back and armrests. And very often such a chair is made soft.

Sofas and armchairs for the kitchen - original design

Currently, manufacturing companies offer three main types, which are based on the material used for manufacturing:

• Wicker structures made of rods;
• Completely wooden;
• Upholstered with filler (padding).

I would like to note that the armchairs for the kitchen are divided into two main categories: armchairs and armchairs proper.

• The first option is small-sized objects that are quite mobile. By the way, on the market you can find folding analogs, which makes it possible to use them in small spaces. But in terms of convenience, they are clearly inferior to the second option.

• The second option is a wider range, both in terms of designs and dimensions. By the way, their price is also higher. Plus, it is one of the most massive seating elements of kitchen furniture. But in terms of convenience, it is clearly superior to all others (we will not compare it with a sofa).

Very often armchairs and sofas for the kitchen are included. You will not be able to install such furniture in a small space, therefore such a set is used in large rooms where there is an opportunity to turn around. But this particular kit will allow you to create a small and comfortable seating area. Very often, manufacturers offer a dining table in the kit, which makes it possible to combine the dining area and the recreation area, which is an important factor.

Relaxation area in the large kitchen

I would like to note one more type - this is a chair-bed. Whoever has come across it at least once knows how convenient it is, and how it helps out if a guest stays in the house overnight. In addition, it is often acquired by families with a large number of household members, one of whom always sleeps in the kitchen (and what to do).

Which upholstery is best to use

Knowing that the kitchen is a room, so to speak, aggressive, manufacturers offer upholstery made of leather, leatherette and fabric, which is treated with special protective compounds.

When choosing, it is very important to keep in mind the fact that all kitchen furniture is exposed to the negative effects of changes in humidity and temperatures, oil and fatty vapors, as well as the human factor in the form of various liquids and food spilled on the upholstery, which are sometimes difficult to remove, and sometimes just impossible.

Therefore advice! If you have chosen an armchair for the kitchen, then pay attention first of all to the upholstery. The rest of the indicators (shape, size, design, color, etc.) remain in the background. It will depend on the upholstery in what condition your chair will be during a long period of operation.

Armchair-bed

And the last point to which I would like to draw your attention. As with any kind of kitchen furniture, it is necessary to select chairs in complete harmony with everything else that fills the kitchen space. That is, everything should be consistent with a single interior design for this room.

Conclusion on the topic

So, to solve the issue of choosing a chair in the kitchen, you need an instruction. The photos and videos in this article will certainly help you. But, as often happens, everything will depend on the interior design you choose, on your taste preferences and on the budget allocated for this business. And if you can develop the design yourself, so to speak with your own hands, then you will still have to choose based on the cost of the furniture (read also article "Corner bench for the kitchen: a variety of choices").
