A chair for the home, first of all, must be functional, comfortable, and yet, resistant and stable. These are the main characteristics of a chair that is perfect for the home environment.

In addition to the above-mentioned primary characteristics of a chair for the home, when choosing this furniture it will also be necessary to carefully consider some important variables, and in particular

• aesthetics of a home chair
• practicality of a home chair
• the ability of the chosen chair to combine perfectly with the furniture in your home environment, enhancing the best of your space.

When choosing a chair for the home we must never forget that our domestic environments must be the perfect place in which to relax, rest and enjoy our private and intimate moments. For this reason it is fundamental to choose chairs that are as comfortable as possible. On the market today there are many furnishing solutions available, capable of responding to all tastes and aesthetic requirements.

Let us see below the principal models of chairs for the living room environment

Chairs for the living room: main models

Considering all the rooms in a house, the living room and the living area in general are probably the space that most needs the presence of comfortable and functional chairs. In fact, the living room is the home environment par excellence in which to gather with the family and relax, reading a book or watching a film or television programme.

Often people make the mistake of thinking that only the sofa is the essential classic element in the living room. In a modern living room there are many variations of seating that you can decide to arrange: for example you can opt for the purchase of a pouf, a stool or even one or more armchairs.

Regardless of the furnishing style that characterises your home living room, the furnishing solutions relating to the choice of chairs are extremely wide and versatile. Here are the main types of seating that you can decide to set up in your living room.

Living room armchairs

Living room armchairs are probably the best piece of furniture to enhance the living area of your home and give it the style you like best. In fact, armchairs are very creative pieces of furniture, able to offer a high standard of comfort, if compared to a classic chair.

However, it should be pointed out that armchairs, unlike sofas, only offer one seat. Just like sofas, armchairs also offer extremely versatile stylistic solutions, able to meet the needs of the most diverse aesthetic tastes. Here is a brief summary of the main types of armchairs for living rooms available on the market:

• Recliner armchair: an extremely practical and comfortable piece of furniture, available on the market with fabric and leather covers (the latter is perfect for a living room characterised by an industrial - link style of furniture). The most diverse models of recliners are available on the market today, characterised by a multitude of different colours, shapes and styles. A recliner is also the perfect furnishing solution for a person with reduced mobility.
• Two-seater armchair: unlike classic armchairs, these furnishings are able to offer two seats. In some ways we can say that this furniture is the equivalent of a single mattress. A two-seater armchair is a piece of furniture that is not quite as large as the classic sofa, but can nevertheless accommodate two people at the same time.

Reading armchairs, round armchairs and armchairs that can be converted into beds are also available on the market.

For your contemporary living room, choose the fantastic Miguel armchair: this is a piece of furniture with a chrome swivel base and seat available in different finishes: soft touch effect, nubuck effect, or even animal skin effect and fireproof microfibre.

Seating for living room and kitchen

Rigid and upholstered chairs for living room and kitchen

A rigid and upholstered chair for living room and kitchen can be an excellent furnishing solution for those who are looking for a seat able to guarantee maximum stability and at the same time optimal comfort.

Here is the perfect rigid upholstered chair to integrate in the furnishing context of a modern living room or kitchen, and at the same time ideal for a more classic environment: Sedia Rudiano is an elegant and refined piece of furniture with a black varnished metal structure and a beige or grey coloured eco nubuck seat. This model of chair for living room and kitchen is also available with a seat in earth-coloured or grey fabric.

Sofas for the living room

As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the sofa is an essential piece of furniture for every living room. Also in this case the market is today able to provide us with a wide variety of solutions, capable of meeting every need and specific requirement.

The different sofa models available on the market differ first of all in their shapes: it will be possible to choose between L-shaped corner sofas, peninsula sofas, daybeds, and even C-shaped sofas, island sofas and modular sofas.

Poufs for the living room

When it comes to modern and attractive seating in the living room, poufs are nowadays a very fashionable and trendy solution. Also in this case the market is now able to offer different solutions: it will be possible to choose between poufs with storage or without this accessory.

Stools and benches for the living room

For a dynamic and modern living room you can also decide to purchase and set up a bench, or even two or more stools to be placed next to a top. In this regard, we suggest the beautiful Sgabello Soft: this stool model is characterised by an extremely minimalist design but at the same time decided and endowed with great personality.

Sgabello Soft is composed of a curved wooden seat (soft and clean shape). This model represents the ideal furnishing solution for a domestic or contract space: Sgabello Soft is in fact a piece of furniture capable of surprising for the simplicity and refinement of its forms. The furniture is available in two sizes: 65 and 75 centimetres.

Chaise longue for the living room

Lastly, we would like to recommend a piece of furniture capable of giving great personality and style to the living area of your home: we are obviously talking about the chaise longue. The latter is a French term that literally means long chair, and is used to indicate a particular type of conventional sofa, characterised however by a more elongated end: the extension actually breaks the horizontal shape of the sofa, forming the outline of a letter L.

The elongated part of the sofa allows the person to extend their legs: for this reason the chaise longue sofa is divided into a part in which one can simply sit and another part in which one can lie down or sit with raised legs. The chaise longue sofa, today as in the past, represents the maximum expression of home comfort.
