The Best Chairs & Fabric

Wing Back Chair

• The wing back chair is a classic chair style defined by its large rolled arms and sweeping wings that rest at head level. The wing back was originally designed to provide the seated person with protection against drafts in cold houses by trapping the heat around the head and body. The wing back chair would be at home in any living room or study, and is best upholstered in brown leather.

Armless Chair

• Satisfy the need for comfort and design in your living room with an armless chair. Armless chairs are a stylish addition to any room and are characterized by a plush seat, backrest and small wood or metal legs. An armless chair would be a great installation in an empty corner, providing a comfortable place for guests to sit and have conversations. The best fabric for armless chairs is either dark faux velvet or a light patterned fabric, depending on the aesthetics you are trying to match.

Reclining Chair

• Reclining chairs are the best chairs for versatility in comfort. Reclining chairs often find their homes in living rooms near a television or a reading lamp, and offer the owner the ability to choose whether he would like to sit up or recline. A small lever located at the side of the chair allows the owner to change the chair's position. Although recliners come in many styles and sizes, the best reclining chair to add to any living room is a plush recliner upholstered with soft microfiber cloth.

Club Chair

• A club chair is a type of arm chair that was first created in France. Its French name, which translates to "comfortable armchair," explains why this piece is one of the best chairs. A club chair can come in many different styles besides the classic, which is distinguished by a rounded backrest and armrests. The art deco club chair has square backrests and armrests, making it a design specimen rather than just an additional piece of furniture. For best results, select a club chair that is upholstered in leather.
