Find the perfect chair for your home with this detailed guide to chair designs

Wherever you are reading this, we suggest that you grab a chair.

Well, there is nothing to worry about, except we would like you to be seated as we take you on the journey of "Everything you ever wanted to know about chairs".

This list comprises popular old and new chair designs to help you make an informed decision.

 

1. Armchair

The core purpose of an armchair's design is to support your arms while sitting, hence the chair's name. They work well as a part of a seating arrangement. But with the right upholstery, armchairs can be an accent piece adding a flair to the room. There are numerous types of armchairs, and you are sure to find one that best represents your taste.
 

2. Winged-back

Winged-back chairs always have your back, quite literally. The wings on the chair were added to keep you from heat and sudden breeze while also giving the chair a standout design, making them a classy addition to your home.
