The secret to choosing chairs for your home: tips for comfort and style
They say that every home has a soul. From the Latin genius loci, literally translated as ‘the spirit of the place’, this concept refers to the profound essence of a place, given by the characteristics that make it unique.
In fact, there are places where we immediately feel at ease, welcomed in harmony, others where we perceive a sense of uneasiness and hostility.
What is certain is that our home represents a projection of who we are. When we create our space, we put ourselves, our tastes and our personality into it. But it's not always that easy: furnishing is a balance between functionality and aesthetics.
From the choice of large pieces of furniture to attention to detail, each element adds value to the atmosphere of the home. In this article on how to choose chairs for the home, we will guide you step by step through every room in the house, to help you make decisions that are consistent with your tastes and favourite furnishing styles.
The perfect chair
The perfect chair is not only beautiful, but also functional, comfortable and in harmony with the room it occupies. To choose the right model of chairs for the home, the factors to consider first are:
- Type of room: dividing the type of chair according to the area of the house is the first step to clarify your ideas and make an informed decision.
- Size of the space: in small rooms, it's better to opt for lightweight or stackable chairs. In large spaces, you can be more daring with more structured models.
- Furnishing style: the design of the chair must integrate with the style of the furniture and the environment. Or not, it depends on personal taste and the desired effect.
- Functionality: evaluate how the chair will be used, ergonomics and practicality for an optimal choice.
Each room has specific characteristics and the choice of the right chair varies depending on whether it is for the kitchen, dining room, living room, home office or bedroom. For the choice of chairs for the home, our Living collection offers a vast selection of chairs, suitable for every space and need.
Kitchen environment
The kitchen is one of the most lived-in rooms in the house, where chairs must be resistant, washable and practical. In addition to the materials, it is essential to choose the right seat height based on the intended use: a dining table requires lower, more comfortable chairs, while an island or peninsula requires taller stools to ensure an ergonomic posture.
For a coordinated and functional kitchen environment, the Slim line offers two complementary options: the Slim Stool, perfect for raised surfaces thanks to its slender and space-saving structure, and the Slim Fixed Chair, which maintains the same minimal design but with a lower height, ideal for the kitchen table. Two solutions with a consistent style, designed to adapt harmoniously to domestic spaces.
These are just some of Moving's proposals for a refined kitchen area, without sacrificing comfort.
Dining room
The dining room is the heart of conviviality, a space dedicated to moments of sharing, from elegant dinners to family lunches. Unlike the kitchen, where practicality and durability are essential, and the living room, designed for relaxation, here the perfect balance between aesthetics and comfort takes centre stage.
When elegance and comfort meet, a harmonious and welcoming atmosphere is created. The Boheme chair fits perfectly into this space, with its sinuous lines and the soft cushion that envelops the seat. Among the possibilities for customising the backrest, the Boheme can take on a bohemian style, thanks to the wood weave.
In addition to aesthetics, it is essential to consider practicality, especially when you have guests. The Pretty collection is the ultimate solution: light, foldable and easy to store, these chairs allow you to add seats at the table without sacrificing space when they are not needed.
Living space
In the living area, the chair is not just a piece of furniture, but the union of comfort and elegance. Cosy for moments of relaxation, it must adapt to the environment that hosts it with style and naturalness. The Cardinale model, with its refined look and enveloping seat, is perfect for creating a welcoming space in which to relax after a long day.
To enhance the relaxing atmosphere typical of the living room, the Hoop model offers an original and comfortable solution: this armchair reinterprets the concept of the pouf, adding a soft backrest to provide comfort and support. Available in different sizes and upholstery options, Hoop adds a touch of style to the environment. The Hoop pouf version, without a backrest, is the perfect complement to combine with the Hoop chair or armchairs and sofas, usable both as an additional seat and as a footrest, creating a refined and practical set.
In this environment, relaxation and comfort are the key elements, so you can't help but consider furnishing elements such as armchairs and sofas. Available with one, two or three seats, Arturo is the option for those who want an elegant and adaptable piece of furniture. Thanks to its modern lines and large seat, it offers a restful experience without compromise, naturally adapting to the space.
Home Office
In bedrooms, a chair can become a comfortable and versatile piece of furniture without compromising on elegant design and refined style. The Dafne chair is all this: perfect for a reading corner, a dressing table or as a stylish accessory, it blends in with the evocative atmosphere of the sleeping area. A small armchair with an enveloping shape, customisable in colours that adapt to any context.
The chair Carmen, thanks to its soft and enveloping lines, is equally suitable for the sleeping area. With its solid structure and a wide range of customisable upholstery, Carmen is the chair for the home that adapts to both the body and the furnishings, adding a touch of refinement to the space.
Sleeping area
The right chair must be tailored to the needs of each employee, so choosing a product that is adjustable and adaptable to the specific characteristics of the person allows for maximum customisation and ensures maximum well-being. Just like a glove, if it is not adjusted correctly it cannot express its full potential.
The adjustable reclining backrest and the addition of extra elements such as headrests and footrests are other interesting aspects to consider before purchasing. These accessories, although optional, make a big difference to the physical well-being and functionality of the chair.
Recognised quality certifications
The Living collection, with its wide choice of chairs for the home and the possibility of customisation, fits in easily with any furnishing style, from classic to industrial style.
Each chair is designed to integrate into the environment with functional design solutions, without ever sacrificing excellent quality. In fact, beyond the variety of the range, quality remains the beating heart at the centre of the Moving Design philosophy, ensuring resistance and well-being at all times.
