What Is an Upholstered Chair?
Upholstered chairs are the epitome of seating comfort in the dining room. They are not only comfortable and provide coziness, but they also add that certain something to any dining area or dining room. A beautiful upholstered chair can significantly influence the room’s ambiance and help define its style. Upholstered chairs are chairs with permanently attached padding, which can be covered in various fabrics. They are not only very comfortable but also more visually appealing than classic chairs.
Whether it's velvet upholstered chairs in gray, beige, or blue, upholstered chairs with leather or faux leather covers, or upholstered chairs with armrests in white with metal elements – this dining chair reinvents style and comfort in your dining space. If the padding on the chairs is especially thick, they are often referred to as armchairs. Elegant upholstered chairs allow you to add sophisticated accents to your kitchen or dining room. And they don’t have to be expensive. With us, you’ll find beautiful upholstered chairs at affordable prices.
Different Types of Upholstered Chairs
An upholstered chair consists of the chair frame itself, the padding, and the cover. Various types of wood can be used for the frame. Although the upholstery of padded chairs usually covers most of the wood, you can often tell which type of wood was used by looking at the chair legs—provided they haven’t been painted. The type of wood is therefore a key factor in the appearance of a chair and is often chosen to match the rest of the furniture. For example, light wood generally goes well with other light furniture, while dark wood should be paired with darker furnishings.
The padding of an upholstered chair is primarily made of foam. In stores, chairs are often labeled with the specification RG/SH. RG stands for “Raumgewicht” (density) and is a quality indicator of the foam. It measures how many kilograms of material were used per cubic meter of foam. The higher this number, the better the quality of the foam and the longer it takes before the chair feels worn out from softening foam. SH refers to “Stauchhärte” (compression hardness). The higher this number, the firmer the foam. Various materials can be used for the cover. Velvet, velour, and both faux and genuine leather are particularly popular. Since the cover usually covers the largest surface of the chair, its color is very important for the overall appearance of the chair, as well as the look of the seating area in the dining room.
Colors, Cleaning and Care of Upholstered Chairs
There is a wide variety of types, colors, models, and materials for upholstered chairs. The most common colors for upholstered chairs are grey, beige, black, green, white, pink, cream, brown, blue, and anthracite. Upholstered armchairs in white and blue go perfectly with a country-style interior, provided the shade of blue isn’t too dark. On the other hand, upholstered chairs in light pink or dusty rose suit a vintage-style decor, while those in green or dark blue are better matched to a retro look. Upholstered chairs should be arranged symmetrically and as spaciously as possible around the dining table. Note that the chair legs should be in a similar color to the dining table. Ideally, the table legs should also match those of the chairs. Looking for new table legs? Then check out our great selection!
Upholstered chairs require different cleaning methods depending on the material. In general, they should be vacuumed regularly to remove coarse dirt that could embed into the material. Materials with a smooth surface can also be dusted with a cloth. For some materials, wiping with a damp cloth is also possible. Untreated wood, velvet, and genuine leather are less suitable for cleaning with water but can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth.
