What is in a chair? Humble, unassuming and yet a very important part of your home, the chair is where you sit back and relax after a long day, watch TV, talk to your loved ones or even doze away. And if chosen well, a chair can go a long way in helping spruce up the interiors of your house. We list 7 types of chairs and sofas that go with every occasion.
1) The Armchair
The armchair is everybody’s favourite and a true classic. Pick printed floral or striped chairs that add contrast to the upholstery in a room. The classic leather chair is a perfect fit for the living room, as it spells luxury, class and comfort. This is why it is also known as the gentleman’s club chair.
2) The Wooden Rocker
For someone who likes to keep it classy, go wooden. To match that beautiful rosewood flooring, you can dress up your home with a wooden rocker, made of Sheesham wood and team it up with a rustic brown or gold, sofa set. The best thing about this setup is that you don’t need to embellish the room. Add a few candle stands and a bookshelf and you are set.
3) The Wingback Chair
Wingback chairs which serve as lobby chairs give a contemporary favour to any home. And the tall back helps create a cozy nook that’s ideal to sink into, while making a definite visual impression. Put one in your reading room or next to your bookshelves and we guarantee that you will spend hours nestled away from the world.
4) The Chair From Friends
Known as the chair that Joey & Chandler fight over, the recliner is a must have in every home. Whether you want to kick back after a long day, chill out in front of the TV or use the recline feature to lay back and day dream, the recliner can help liven up your space, while also being an awesome conversation starter.
5) The Windsor
If you are looking for the perfect garden and balcony chair, then the Windsor is the answer. With its bowed back and thin spindles attached to the seat, it is sturdy and no-nonsense. Avoid getting varieties with fabric features if you don’t want to run out to your garden every time it rains. Keep a couple of them around a table and your evening chai spot is ready in no time at all.
6) Bar Stools
They can fit in anywhere, can help make a killer bar and serve many other purposes. They can also come in different shapes, sizes and styles. You can even upcycle goods such as trunk boxes, milk cans, barrels, all of which will not just quirk up your home but also serve as a space to stash all your knick-knacks.
7) The Sofa Bed
The best friend you can have if you are single, living alone and don’t have much space. Sofa beds come in different sizes and are made of different materials that suit almost every need. You can go for the basic version with storage, the inflatable version which is easy to move or even go exotic with a futon. You just cannot go wrong in buying one of these. .
