Most of us have been stuck indoors for some time now. For some of you, interior decorating may have offered a simple way to lift your spirits in troubling times. As spring is now in full swing, and summer’s only a few months away, this is a great time of year to refresh your home décor. And, a fabric-covered chair can help to invigorate a tired-looking room, as well as being a cooler option for warmer weather.
But before you swap your favourite armchair for a new model, take a step back and consider every detail. Your flooring, wall coverings and furnishings need to coordinate with your furniture. When choosing a fabric chair, you will need to consider several factors.
Here are five reasons why fabric chairs are perfect for summer:
1. Cooling
So, why do fabric chairs help you stay cool in warmer weather? Linen and cotton mixed fibre upholstery feel cooler to the touch on a hot day than other typical materials used for armchairs. This means you can regulate your body temperature more easily – and, you won’t have to prise yourself off a sticky cover! The Kenilworth Push Back Recliner is one such example, and it’s also ideal for compact living spaces.
2. Colourful
Fabric upholstered chairs come in a vast range of colourful shades, so you can mix and match to virtually any décor style. Whether you prefer neutral tones, or you like to make a bold statement, a colourful fabric armchair can become a show-stopping room feature. If you’re refreshing a room design, one tip is to create a colour palette that captures all your favourite shades, which you can then match to your chair cover.
3. Comfortable
When you’re comparing fabric-covered armchairs, comfort needs to be at the forefront of your mind. If you or a family member has any mobility issues or posture problems, then choose a chair that has special support functions. The Charlton Pushback reclines to an almost sleeping position so that you can take the weight off your feet. This chair also has a soft fabric cover with a supportive, tufted back cushion.
4. Fashionable
The trick with finding an armchair that blends in seamlessly with your room style is to choose a timeless design. Such styles won’t outdated quickly and can be introduced into a trendy décor scheme, even when certain designs seem out of vogue. The Eden armchair is covered with a neutral coloured, tartan upholstery that will easily stand the test of time. This chair also has a secret reclining function - you’d never even know it was there!
5. Versatile
As your new fabric armchair is likely to be with you for many years to come, it needs to suit many purposes. A classic armchair can be used in a variety of room settings - from sitting rooms to studies and large bedroom spaces. The Darlington Fabric Pushback is a beautifully designed chair with elegant stitching, which can recline for maximum comfort. This armchair also comes in a range of different colours too.
