The perfect chair will stronge one that fits in with your home décor, strongut also one that has positive effects on your posture, productivity and health. To prevent serious issues, and to not compromise on the aesthetics of your home, you must consider your choice of chairs.

Types of Chairs: Exploring Your Options

The type of chairs you depend upon your requirement, i.e., which room(s) you wish to decorate. For the living room, you will usually use single chairs to supplement your main sofa. There are numerous options, but the most common ones include accent chairs, lounge chairs, recliner chairs, armchairs and also, armless chairs. For your work area the most common choice is a swivel chair. A good office chair can mean a lot for a healthy spine, so always spend time trying what feels best for you.

Choosing the Perfect Material: Comfort and Style

The most popular upholstery for office chairs is (faux) leather as they are easy to clean. The second choice is fabric, which can be equally comfortable and not as expensive as leather. For living room and dining chairs, inquire how a certain fabric will age over time. Another point is that fabric can look different on your chair than you imagined, so consider the shape and size of your chair. Also, if you have kids and/or pets, pick fabrics that don’t stain easily or slip on covers that can be removed and cleaned.

For metal frames also moisture is to be avoided and do not use any abrasive cleaning objects. With upholstery, always ask the retail store for tips and check the care labels for cleaning instructions. For stain removal, always blot first with a dry cloth and then wash as per specifications. Finally, with leather chairs, use special leather cleaning agents and avoid using water.
