Upholstered furniture is not just a functional element of your interior, it is a highlight that gives it a special charm softness, comfort. What could be better than, after an uncomfortable and tough office furniture, to plunge into the bliss of relaxation and relaxation of a deep household chair under a warm cashmere wrap?

What you need to know to upholstered furniture in your home has become a reliable friend, and did not bring a headache and a dubious feeling of comfort from month to month? Let's figure it out.

The choice of upholstered furniture in different rooms

Upholstered furniture in the kitchen

The kitchen is a very specific space in any living space. On the one hand, it should be functional and practical, since it is the kitchen that lends itself to the greatest number of impacts of various kinds:

• Temperature drops
• High humidity
• Deposited on the walls and furniture fat and soot
• Dirt from food

However, on the other hand, every housewife wants to create a welcoming and lovely atmosphere in the kitchen. Only in this case and evening gatherings in the kitchen will be a joy, and the process of cooking will be pleasant and comfortable.

The kitchen can give functionality to high-quality kitchen sets (for example, from Ikea), but upholstered furniture will help with giving coziness.

As a rule, upholstered furniture in the kitchen interior is represented by a sofa, less often - armchairs.

1. To the kitchen sofa were not terrible household pollution in the form of spilled milk or sprinkled with vegetable oil, its upholstery should be easy to clean. Best of all for these purposes, upholstery made of genuine leather or leatherette.
2. To prevent crumbs or other accidentally falling food pieces from accumulating under the sofa (as a result, ants or cockroaches can get divorced in the kitchen), give preference to a sofa with legs or a plinth close to the floor.
3. It is desirable that the upholstery of chairs or stools was made of the same upholstery fabric as the sofa.

You can diversify the kitchen interior with pillows. So that they do not look ridiculous, pick up curtains in harmony with pillowcases.

Upholstered furniture in the bedroom

The bedroom is a place to rest. It would seem that there would never be needed upholstered furniture. In the bedroom can be used:

• Sofa
• Armchairs
• Padded stools
• sofa

The sofa is very convenient from the point of view that it can serve both as a place for daytime gatherings, and as a sleeping place (if it is expanded). However, if the size of your bedroom allows, it is better to give preference to a full bed. Then you can choose a mattress that is suitable for you (and, if necessary, change it will be much cheaper than a sofa), and the bedroom will become more sacred and intimate.

On a chair or sofa near the floor lamp in the evening you can read a book, but experts do not recommend to overload the space with them especially, since the main task of the bedroom is sleep and relaxation, and not sitting down. In principle, for these purposes it will be enough to confine one ottoman.

Upholstered furniture in the living room

The living room is designed to receive guests. And it is here that it is important to place as many people and friends as possible with maximum comfort. Therefore, as in no other room, upholstered furniture will be appropriate and relevant.

What kind of upholstered furniture to choose for the living room depends on its size. If the room is very tiny and even cabinet furniture fits in it with difficulty, it would be best to limit it to a couple of chairs. But the standard is set:

• Sofa
• Two armchairs
• Пуфик

However, you can always choose a headset for the room at your discretion, for example, place one large corner sofa or two small ones instead of a sofa and chairs.

We select a soft sofa

Classic sofa

Despite the name - a classic sofa - this item does not necessarily have to be made in a classic style, it may well be in a modern style, and in high-tech styles, and in the style of shebbi-chic. In this case, it is assumed that this is an ordinary, straight, not understanding sofa.

Mostly these are low sofas. They can be with or without legs.

Furniture on the legs visually makes the furniture lighter and more elegant.

Classic sofas have a back and armrests. However, they can be performed in different ways:

• Hard material covered with upholstery fabric
• Soft frame constructions
• Padded cushions or pillows instead of backrest and armrests

The armrests with wooden panels on top can be used as mini-tables or coasters, which is very important for small living rooms. However, so that such armrests do not leave bruises on your legs with each landing “a little bit past”, choose models with rounded smooth ends instead of strict perpendicular lines.

No less important is the color of the sofa. The color of the sofas must be chosen not only in accordance with the chosen style of the living room, but also in accordance with the dimensions of the living room. For example, in a small room a dark sofa will look too cumbersome. Light upholstery fabrics, although they look stylish, are very impractical. Therefore, experts recommend choosing a sofa for a small living room of light but neutral tones. In this case, the fabric should be either in a small pattern or pattern, so that the spots are less noticeable, or very textured (as, for example, jacquard).

Corner sofa

Corner sofas are very interesting solutions for interior design, however, due to their impressive dimensions, they are suitable only for rather spacious premises.

With the help of a corner sofa, you can not only place a significant number of guests at the table (bypassing the need to purchase additional chairs or chairs), but also use it as an original partition if you need to zone the living room (for example, if you have a studio apartment or in one room) two functional spaces).

If the corner sofa is large enough, then if necessary, two people will be able to sleep at once, in no way interfering with each other.

Sofa bed

Very often, the living room also serves as a bedroom for the owners, so during the daytime you need a place to relax and receive guests, and at night you need a comfortable and spacious sleeping place. The ideal solution in this case can be sofas with a berth.

When choosing a sofa bed, it is very important to consider the nuances of the layout:

• Around the sofa sofa, you need a space where it will "fold". If there is any furniture in front of the sofa, for example, a coffee table, constantly moving it will be uncomfortable and, in the end, it will annoy you.
• If two people are sleeping on the sofa, then each of its inhabitants should have free access to his half of the sofa. Otherwise, you will simply interfere with each other during sleep if some of you need to visit the restroom at night or just go to bed later.

There are many types of folding sofa bed mechanisms, the most common among which are the following:

• Eurobook. Comfortable, but very bulky sofa, since the length of the bed is the same as the length of the sofa in the assembled form. This type of sofa is suitable for an elongated room.
• Accordion. This model of sofas involves folding the sofa on the principle of an accordion. The lower part at the same time leaves on wheels until the seat and back are on the same horizontal level. The undoubted advantage of such a sofa is that it can be quite narrow.
• Click-clack. The advanced eurobook, allowing to fix a back of a sofa in intermediate (inclined state).

Sofa-трансформер

Sofaы-трансформеры – изобретение сравнительно недавнее. Такие диваны бывают двух основных видов:

• Modular sofas. In this case, thanks to the presence of two or more mobile modules, you can transform the sofa at your discretion.
• Full transformers. Such sofas, by simple body movements, in a matter of minutes completely modify their design. The most popular are sofas, which are transformed from a simple classic sofa into a bunk bed.

Choosing a chair

Classic chair

The classical chair is a chair on legs, with a high back and armrests. As a rule, the line of upholstered furniture includes not only sofas, but also suitable chairs so that you can create a set.

The chair should not be very deep, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sit on it. The optimum seat depth is between fifty and sixty centimeters.

Rocking chair

This chair will be not just a favorite vacation spot, but also a stylish and original element of the interior. A significant disadvantage is that seating guests in such chairs is not very convenient (especially during a feast). And the room with a lot of rocking chairs will look at least strange. Designers believe that rocking chairs (as well as central accents in principle) cannot be many, so it is possible to place one (two - as a last resort!) Such interior items.

Stylish and extraordinary will look like a living room with a separate seating area exclusively for the owners, which would have a rocking chair. This may be a fireplace area (a classic version), but in a city apartment it can easily be replaced with an illuminated aquarium or floor lamp.

Massage chair

Massage chair in the interior looks very exotic. In many ways - because of its size and devices. In our opinion, such a chair looks more appropriate in the bedroom than in the living room, since its leading purpose is still massage and relaxation (which is rather intimate) than the addition of the interior style. Best of all, the massage chair will fit into the modern style of the room.

Chair bed

If you have an acute problem of combining a living room and a bedroom (which is very important for one-bedroom apartments) or your friends often spend the night in your house, then you can use the chair-bed. These chairs are laid out on the same principle as the sofas. Depending on the size, both a child and an adult can comfortably sit in an armchair-bed.

Пуфик

Padded stools - a very multifaceted invention. Ottoman can be used:

• As a footrest for more complete relaxation
• As an extra seat
• As a mobile sofa module

It is best to use ottomans on wheels, since then they can be moved and rearranged without any special effort.

Couchette

An alternative to an ottoman can be a couch. In this case, the presence of the backrest or armrests is not critical. They may or may not be present. It is important that the couch is long enough, so it can be used as an extra bed.
