The kitchen is no longer just a place for cooking – it has become a central location in the home, where family members gather, chat, work or even have breakfast. Kitchen chairs are not only practical pieces of furniture, but also important elements of the comfort and style of the space. But how do we choose chairs that are comfortable, durable and match the atmosphere of the apartment?
In this article, we'll go over the most important considerations – size, material, layout, style – and introduce a few selected products to help you make your decision easier.
The function of the kitchen chair in the space
Kitchen chairs are no longer just for eating. More and more kitchens are becoming multifunctional spaces where chairs are used for conversation, work, or even children's learning. Therefore , it is of utmost importance that these pieces of furniture are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also comfortable and durable.
The arrangement of chairs also affects the flow of the space - a well-chosen chair can help separate the kitchen from the dining area or make it comfortable to sit around the table.
Size and layout – how should the chair fit into the space?
When choosing the right dining chair, it is important to consider the height of the table and the available space. Dining chairs usually have a seat height of around 45 cm, which is ideal for standard height tables (around 75 cm).
Also, make sure that there is at least 15–20 cm of space between the seat of the chair and the tabletop so that you can sit comfortably under it. A distance of at least 10–15 cm is recommended between two chairs so that movement is not hindered.
Materials and upholstery – practicality and atmosphere
When choosing a material, aesthetics are not the only thing that matters. Easy-to-clean, durable materials, such as faux leather or metal, are ideal for families with children or if the chairs are used frequently. Soft, fabric-upholstered models, on the other hand, offer extra comfort and create a more elegant atmosphere.
Wooden chairs bring natural warmth to the space, while metal-legged or industrial-style pieces create a modern, lofty effect.
Style and design – matching the kitchen atmosphere
The style of the chairs should always match the design of the kitchen or dining room. A Scandinavian or modern chair fits well in a clean, bright kitchen, while a wood-metal combination is more appropriate in a rustic or industrial interior.
We can also boldly combine styles: a characterful table can be accompanied by clean chairs, or several matching chairs can be placed at the same table - this creates an exciting, personal space.
Special solution: bar stools
If you have a kitchen island or a high counter in your space, bar stools are a practical and stylish alternative . Make sure the seat height of the chair matches the height of the counter – a height of 65–75 cm is generally recommended .
We can choose models with backrests and adjustable height for greater comfort, or simpler, space-saving pieces.
