Lee Longlands have lots of upholstered chairs available, including armchairs, accent chairs, wing chairs, tub chairs and recliners, in styles such as modern, classic contemporary, traditional and casual. These can be purchased in a selection of fabrics including plains, patterns and velvets, as well as top grain, semi-aniline and aniline leathers.
Chairs can be a variety of different heights depending upon their design. A contemporary classic or modern design may feature a lower back or have larger dimensions on the whole. More traditional and supportive designs, on the other hand, may opt for a higher back and smaller dimensions.
A chair is a supportive and comfortable seating option that is just the right size for one person.
An armchair is a convenient option for anyone with lower mobility. Its armrests provide leverage, making it easier to get in and out of quickly and comfortably.
A wing chair is another supportive option and makes a brilliant statement chair for a lounge, guest room or foyer.
Chairs can be placed in almost any room of the house where comfy seating would be desirable. Occasional chairs can be used in conservatories, bedrooms, guest bedrooms and studies, for example.
Chairs work as a design feature as well as providing additional seating. They can be co-ordinated to match existing furnishings or add a splash of colour. An accent chair is used specifically for this purpose, often decorated in a patterned or contrasting fabric to provide a focal point.
What are the different styles of chairs?
Chairs come in many forms to meet the requirements of your room and match different kinds of décor.
Armchairs
Armchairs provide ample support thanks to their armrests and don’t take up too much room, making them a great choice for smaller sitting rooms or for squeezing into one corner of the living room. Firmer seat cushions, commonly filled with foam, will make it easier to stand.
For maximum support, it’s best to select an armchair that is appropriate to your height. Shallower, lower small chairs will allow someone of shorter stature to be fully supported by the backrest whilst still having both feet planted on the floor. A taller person may require a larger, deeper model with enough leg room and space to sit comfortably.
Recliner chairs
Recliners are a great place to relax, with support and comfort technology sitting at the very heart of their design.
Both power and manual recliner options are available. Manual recliners are cheaper to purchase, while power recliners require less physical strength to operate and offer greater longevity because their parts needs replacing less frequently. You can see our full range of recliners by clicking here.
Recliners are available in fabric or leather, depending on what look you would prefer for your room.
Accent chairs
Accent chairs are a fun or colourful addition to the lounge or hallway. Often fabric chairs, they feature either a contrasting colour or a pattern. Patterns which would look busy if used on the whole sofa set can be placed on an accent chair to draw the eye and add interest to a room. They are a great way to show off an affinity for design.
Wing chairs
Wing chairs are a versatile addition to the home, characterised by their high back and wings which were used to fend off the draft in times gone by. These days, they can be used to create an impression in almost any room of the house, providing stylish seating in a guest bedroom or office, or a place to put on shoes in the hallway.
Tub chairs
Tub chairs are multipurpose seats which can be utilised to great effect around the home. Tub chairs function as accent furniture, as well as stylish spare seating in an office, guest bedroom or family room. They can also be paired with a bedroom dressing table, offering a stylish place to get ready as well as hang tomorrow’s clothes.
