Despite all the advantages Some owners of apartments and houses do not prefer chairs. First of all, this is due to the high-cost products (compared to the familiar chairs and stools), as well as their large dimensions.
Materials manufacturing
Regardless of the models, all chairs have a frame base and a filler, giving products soft. For the decorative product, the upholstery is responsible. All these components are made from various materials, which will be discussed next.
Frame
Metals, different breeds of wood and PVC are used for the manufacture of frame bases. All these materials must comply with a number of requirements - it is necessary that they can withstand high humidity and elevated temperature indicators.
- Metal frames are made of steel, iron, aluminum . The best options for the kitchen are titanium or chrome products. Aluminum has a low weight, but during operation it darkens and loses its appeal.
- Wooden frames are made of pine, beech, oak or larch. To give greater stability to various adverse factors, the surface of the wood is treated with special compositions, painted or lacquer.
- PVC is a fairly lightweight material that is not afraid of temperature jumps and high humidity. . It is easy to care and aesthetic. As its main drawback, weak resistance to mechanical damage is noted, which is why scratches and scratches often appear on its surface.
In addition, organic can be used for the production of framework.
The material is famous for its plasticity, thanks to which frameworks with unusual and original forms can be made of it.
The organic is characterized by simplicity in care, it is durable and reliable, but it is often scratching from negligent appeal.
Furniture with frames from one material occurs quite rarely. Most often, manufacturers are combined.

- Spring blocks which may be dependent (group interconnected by springs) and independent (orthopedic basis);
- PPU (polyurethane foam) - Synthetic filler obtained by foaming polymers;
- Syntheton - nonwoven fabric, most often used in the manufacture of budget decisions;
- Strettoofiber - the material produced from natural and synthetic fibers is ideal for creating furniture with elevated softness indicators;
- felt - Natural filler made of animal wool;
- VATER - base of cotton wool and various tissues;
- Hollofiber - a type of synthetone (visually represents small balls made of polyester materials);
- Porolon - Low quality polyurethane foam type (such a filler quickly loses its operational properties).
As a filler is also used Latex, Durafil and Periothek.

Despite the functionality, the bedrooms are not recommended to be placed in the kitchen, since they can take large spaces in unfolded. In addition, sleep near numerous working household appliances can not be called healthy.
- Bar rotating chairs. As a rule, these models are equipped with one leg with the possibility of regulation in height. This is the perfect option for kitchens having a bar rack. Due to the adjustment of height on such chairs, it will be comfortable to sit and children and adults.

How to choose?
Looking after a kitchen armchair, it is necessary to take into account a number of important parameters. The main ones are:
- style;
- functionality;
- sizes and configuration;
- variation of manufacturing materials;
- Reputation of the manufacturer.
The color gamut of products has no boundaries - on sale there are both monophonic options (from pastel shades to bright screaming) and models with prints, patterns and various compositions. Choosing a color palette, you need to take into account the tones of the existing furniture items. You can choose seats suitable in color to the rest of the furniture, or emphasize attention to them, visually making a "bright spot" in the interior.
Selecting the color, do not forget about practicality.
If products with tissue upholstery are selected, then light tones are not a very successful solution (with the exception of options from natural or artificial leather). No matter how neither the hostess, the surface of the chairs in the kitchen is often dirty. On the light hurt will be immediately rushed into the eyes even small contamination.
The next thing to pay attention to - Configuration and design. D. La Kitchens most often prefer skeletal options. Of course, frameless soft bags are very comfortable. However, they are low, so they will not be able to accommodate them at the table for meals. It is best that this solution is suitable for seating in front of the TV, reading a book or newspaper and for another passive recreation.
Product dimensions are selected In accordance with the size of the room. It is impractical in a small kitchen to buy massive furniture. If the room is small, it is recommended to look at semi-crosses or other miniature models. A good acquisition will be narrow angular chairs. For spacious cuisine, you can select any product size - small, medium or large. Here everything will depend on the preferences of the owners.
Do not forget about functionality. There are models of seats having retractable boxes. Such an acquisition will be successful if the hostess is not enough space for storing various kitchen utensils. There are also chairs with shelves. If necessary, in an additional bed, the best will be the acquisition of the bed bed.
Choosing products for seating, it is important to pay attention to the reputation of the manufacturer. Furniture objects at low cost from unknown companies can be manufactured from low-quality components. Their upholstery can soon be ashamed, the design is divided, and the external parts of the body scatter.
Accommodation options
To successfully arrange furniture in the kitchen, you must first equip the work area. The remaining space needs to be used to accommodate the dining group, the base of which is a table and chairs. The choice of place will depend on the appointment of furniture. For example, corner models and large-sized options are located in the corner, bar solutions - near the bar counter, chairs-bags - in a separate area designed for recreation.
If the kitchen provides a dining round table, you can arrange around it from 2 to 6 chairs. In this case, the dining area will be in the middle of the room. Chairs-beds and other transforming models should be installed so that they are convenient to put forward, and the table did not become this obstacle.
When arranged seats, it should be impaired fantasy to organically enter them into the overall interior.
However, it is important to take into account that the upholstered furniture should not be located near the kitchen plate and sink.
These are the main sources of pollution - the products next to them will constantly fight and require wet cleaning.
