IKEA armchair: tips for choosing and placing in interior design. Photo examples of the best models


Why IKEA?

The Swedish company IKEA is the undoubted leader in the furniture market. Environmentally friendly materials, easy-to-care fabrics, quality in everything: fittings, fastenings, surface coatings, numerous checks and a guarantee from the manufacturer - these are just a few of the secrets to the success of IKEA products.

Add to this the tracking of fashion trends, collaboration with the best designers - and an excellent result is obvious. And reasonable prices make furniture accessible to any budget.

The IKEA chair catalog is quite extensive. It includes chairs made of natural and artificial leather, chairs made of fabric and rattan, chair-beds, chaise longues and poufs. Photos of IKEA chairs illustrate each model in such detail that you can practically feel its softness and comfort.

Ikea wicker furniture

Wicker furniture makes the room more sunny
Wicker furniture is used to furnish a variety of rooms, including a summer kitchen with a veranda. It is often used to create a kitchen interior, because it has many advantages that make it suitable for this room.

Ikea offers customers many types of wicker furniture that can be used for rooms intended for eating and preparing food. Large kitchen tables and chairs, decorative tables, armchairs, sofas, cabinets - all this can be found at Ikea.


This furniture looks creative and unusual

Artificial and natural interior items created by weaving are very similar in appearance. But, they differ in their disadvantages and advantages. Before choosing the first or second type, you should consider the pros and cons of each.

Material

  • Rattan. This is a plant popular in tropical countries. Its popularity is explained by its high strength and enviable practicality; it is often used to make Ikea stools.
  • Willow. Products made from willow twigs are the most budget option. But not very resistant to damage.
  • Seaweed. This marine material is extremely beautiful in the form of objects created from it, but it cannot be called very durable.
  • Banana leaves. This is a lightweight, but quite durable and popular material.
  • Hyacinth. The advantage of products made from it is “immunity” to fading and moisture.
  • Bamboo. A good material for creating furniture compositions, for example, a couch with a sleeping area for the kitchen, but due to the complexity of their creation, it is not particularly popular.

In rare cases, alder, nettle, raspberry and bird cherry vines are used. The reason for its unpopularity is the low strength and complexity of creation.

Wicker furniture made of wicker and rattan in the house:

Advantages and disadvantages

Wicker chairs are very comfortable

  • Pleasant appearance. Natural materials always stand out against the background of synthetic ones and look quite expensive.
  • Safety. There is nothing toxic in such utensils, because the material is environmentally friendly. It can only be harmful if painted with highly toxic paint.
  • Durability and long service life. If the furniture was woven well, there are guarantees. That it will serve you for many years.
  • Ease. It is very easy to move the “braid”. Its rearrangement can be carried out even by those who are not distinguished by enviable physical strength.
  • Easy to care for. It is enough just to vacuum the weave areas where there are dirt and wipe them with a damp cloth to avoid cracks.

Modern furniture looks stylish

Unfortunately, there are a number of disadvantages:

  • Relatively high cost. The price of utensils made from natural materials is several times higher than the price of utensils made from artificial materials.
  • Photophobia. If the window in your kitchen is located on the sunny side and is often open, the sun's rays can damage the furniture.
  • Poor moisture tolerance. If you get the furniture too wet when cleaning it or dine in the yard in the rain, its condition may worsen.

Advantages and disadvantages of wicker furniture:

Artificial


The artificial dose is much stronger

Synthetic braids are made from polymers. Thanks to the progress that has positively influenced the furniture industry, they look good and have a number of advantages:

  • Relatively low price. Synthetic “braids” are available, and you can purchase them with even relatively small amounts of money.
  • Moisture tolerance. Even if you want to enjoy the taste of food in the yard in the rain, it will not affect the chairs, table, etc.
  • Resistant to sunlight. The type of synthetics used in production is not at all afraid of the sun.
  • Strength. Mechanical damage to this furniture is not terrible.
  • No need for special care. Unnatural “braids” can be cleaned in the same way as similar synthetic interior parts.

If you are not satisfied with noticeable seams and protruding twigs on products made from natural materials, you can purchase polymer products. Which will meet your requirements.

Well wicker will fit into the colonial style

Despite all the advantages, many still prefer natural products due to some disadvantages:

  • Lack of “naturalness” effect. Aesthetes who revere natural materials may not like even a skillful fake.
  • Toxicity. Safety enthusiasts will not like such items either, because any synthetics are toxic.

How to fit wicker furniture into the interior:

Chair or bed?

Armchair-beds have long been firmly established in our apartments. And no wonder, because they combine two functions: a comfortable, roomy chair and an extra bed. Occupying a minimum of space, a chair-bed provides great opportunities for small apartments.

The IKEA chair-bed is, first of all, about comfort. Mattresses made of high-density polyurethane foam are quite soft and elastic, which allows you to fully relax.

And the orthopedic base of the chair-bed creates the necessary support for the spine during sleep. The built-in drawer for storing bed linen comes in very handy.

Armchair-beds from the IKEA catalog

The Ikea chair-bed can serve as a full-fledged sleeping place not only for guests, but also for family members themselves. For example, its compact dimensions make it possible to replace a stationary bed in a very small nursery. Thanks to the comfortable mattress, some models are suitable even for everyday sleep.

Let us consider each option in detail and objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages.

For a small apartment, an armchair can be the best alternative to a folding sofa. Why? Unlike a large sofa, the chair is more compact and mobile. It can be unfolded or easily and quickly moved to almost any place in the room. Despite the fact that when unfolded it provides only one sleeping place, even two such chairs will take up less space than a sofa and will be more comfortable to use.

As for the prices for ikea chair-beds, it cannot be said that you will be able to save money here. The cost of a folding chair is almost equal to the cost of a single bed (and sometimes even exceeds) in the same store with approximately equal quality indicators.


Cost of a bed and a folding chair at Ikea for comparison

Therefore, when deciding to purchase a chair-bed, you should be guided by its other advantages and features:

  • saving space. During the daytime, such compact and functional furniture will free up space for games in a small nursery, for example. And in the living room it will create more space for gatherings with guests;
  • in special cases when someone regularly stays overnight with you, but there is no need for a double bed. Or maybe you live alone and you need a bed, but at the same time you need more free space in the apartment during the daytime;

The chair-bed is also suitable for a country house, which, as a rule, does not have much space.

Review of all models from the catalog

There are not many similar chairs in Ikea's assortment. But thanks to their neutral design, they will suit almost any interior. There are only three models in the series “Vattviken” (new for summer 2020), “Vallentuna”, “Lycksele”. The latter option is available in three variations, differing only in the characteristics of the mattress.

We’ll start the review with the most inexpensive ones and continue in ascending order of price.

Pay attention to the notes on each model, highlighted in color: these are the features that distinguish a particular chair from others.

Lycksele Lövos

The most budget option of all presented in the catalog.

It has a clamshell-type mechanism called an “accordion”.

Suitable for everyday sleep.

Watch how to unfold the Lycksele chair in the video:

The price starts from 8,999 rubles.

The cost of Lycksele models depends on the choice of cover design.

Identical in appearance and mechanism to the Murbo and Hovet models, it is inferior only in mattress density - 28 kg/cub.m. This is not critical, considering that in most similar models of chair-beds from other manufacturers on the market, this parameter starts from 25 kg/cub.m.

The density of polyurethane foam in a mattress indicates its rigidity and elasticity and, as a result, comfort and wear resistance.

Sold with a removable cover that can be machine washed at 40 0 ​​.

Ikea chair cover

Lycksele Murbo

A folding chair, which in appearance and layout mechanism does not differ from the previous one. In fact, the quality characteristics of the mattress differ only in the density of the polyurethane foam in its composition - 35 kg/cub.m. It will be more comfortable to sleep without it. The rest is the same steel frame with epoxy coating and the same removable covers.

Price – from 9,999 rub.

Lycksele Hovet

A more expensive option with a steel frame is in the Lycksele Hovet series. How does it differ from its analogues “Murbo” and “Levos”? In appearance and mechanism they are the same. Despite the similarity in the frame, layout mechanism and identical covers, the difference between the models lies in the quality of the mattress. The Khovet model has an additional latex coating, which extends its service life and makes it more wear-resistant. The “Hovet” model mattress also has a higher density of polyurethane foam - 35 kg/cub.m. in contrast to “Levos”, for example, where this parameter is only 28 kg/cub.m.

Price – from 11,999 rub.

The Lycksele models have a rather simple and not the most attractive design; they do not have armrests, which add comfort to the furniture. But if you are interested in decorating it with beautiful pillows or a self-sewn cover, you can get a stylish interior element.

The cover is not Ikea, it is made to order
. In the photo below you can see the options for covers that can be bought at IKEA.

Vattviken

Not long ago, Ikea released a new product among folding chairs, which is superior in appearance to the Lycksele folding beds. Has a more traditional design. The model is made of solid birch (seat) and chipboard (back, armrests).

Perfect for many ikea sofas: “Friheten”, “Brissund”, “Vimle”, “Gimmarp”, etc.

This model can be considered the “golden mean” and the optimal option in terms of price and quality.

Price – 14,999 rubles.

Can be purchased in 2 colors - light gray or brown.

Thanks to the beautiful backrest, this chair can be placed in the middle of the room.

A distinctive feature and advantage over other models is the presence of a storage box.

Sleeping place of medium hardness (density of polyurethane foam in the mattress – 30 kg/cubic m).

But compared to “Vallentuna” and “Lycksele”, the width of the bed is narrower - 70 cm.

Its drawback is the lack of a removable cover.

Vallentuna

This is a section of a modular sofa of the same series, which can at any time become part of it, and not an independent piece of furniture.

Price – 44,000 thousand rubles.

A little expensive for a chair, because for this price Ikea has full-fledged folding sofas. But buyers will definitely appreciate this option for the quality of the upholstery and comfortable mattress; for the opportunity to turn this chair into a sofa by purchasing more parts; as well as for its stylish design.

Please note that only in the “Vallentuna” models the mattress contains an additional protective layer of felt, which significantly extends the life of the sleeping place and also gives it an additional orthopedic effect. This type of padding also makes the material breathable, absorbs moisture and remains dry if a person sweats during sleep.

Watch the video about Vallentuna sofas and armchairs.

Customer Reviews

On numerous Internet forums and review sites, buyers share their ratings after several weeks or even months of use.

Below are reviews of the most popular Lycksele folding chair.

In general, customers respond positively to the Lycksele Murbo and Lycksele Hovet chairs. Among the shortcomings, the width of the sleeping place is most often noted: 70-80 cm is at least within the standards, but for an adult such a width may not be enough for a comfortable sleep. It is necessary to evaluate this moment individually; it is best to do this while visiting the store. Thanks to the furniture exhibition at Ikea, you can not only sit on sofas and armchairs, but, if necessary, also lie down.

Still have questions? Have we not fully covered the topic? Ask me in the comments and I will definitely answer.

Comfort and convenience

Chair-beds cannot please you with a variety of models; their task is functionality. For the most part, these are classic examples of armchairs with strict lines, which with one movement of the hand turn into a single bed.

The severity of the lines of the Wattviken chair is emphasized by the noble colors of the upholstery: light gray and brown. An additional pillow allows you to sit in the chair comfortably, and the folding mechanism is adjusted so well that you can unfold the chair with one hand.

The Lycksele armchair models can rather be called a folding bed, because when folded, the cover gives them the shape of the chair. These chair-beds do not have armrests, which makes them less bulky and allows you to have a wider mattress for the same width of the chair.

The removable cover made of non-woven polypropylene is convenient to wash in a washing machine. Thanks to its rich, rich colors (blue, crimson), the Lycksele chair-bed will fit into any youth or teenage interior.

A range of Ikea children's chairs for arranging work and play areas

Furniture from foreign countries is a recognized quality standard in the world market. A wide range of models, attractive appearance, affordable price are the main advantages of the manufacturer. Particular attention is paid to products for small users - each element of furniture, including the Ikea children's chair, is made of high-quality materials used both for the frame and for the upholstery. A variety of design options and a wide color palette allow each buyer to choose the optimal product for themselves, creatively decorating the interior of the children's room.

Features of products for children

Furniture designed for babies is different from other interior items. Products for a children's room should first of all be focused on the safety of the child. Among other criteria for choosing furniture for furnishing bedroom, study, and play areas in the interior:

  • functionality;
  • compactness;
  • quality materials;
  • ergonomics;

To properly fill the free space of a room, you need to choose functional furniture. Hybrid models of cabinet products allow you to combine sleeping and working spaces to create a play area. Functional furniture makes it possible to equip the room with the necessary interior items for the child. Modification of models allows you to use interior items for a long time thanks to sliding, adjustable elements.

Cabinet products for a children's room should be made from materials that do not contain chemicals. Eco-friendly raw materials are reliable and durable during operation. Resistance to mechanical stress, dirt, light weight - the advantages of high-quality materials.

When choosing furniture, you should consider the age group of children. Models selected taking into account the child’s anatomical features will allow him to comfortably use interior items independently.

Ergonomic furniture should be safe, exclude sharp corners and small parts in the design. For reliable use, it is necessary to choose models with the ability to install additional fences and fastenings.

For the production of any child seat, we select high-quality raw materials, without any chemical additives. The material of the frame, upholstery, and seat filling depends on the furniture model. The base of the chair is made of high-quality wood: beech, pine, birch, rattan. Additional raw materials are veneer, plywood, recycled solid cardboard, chipboard, and fiberboard.

The upholstery of the soft product is made of polypropylene fabric made from fire-resistant fibers and natural textiles. Polyester and polyurethane foam are used to fill the seat. The internal filling of children's seats at IKEA is made of hypoallergenic materials that repel moisture and prevent the penetration of germs and bacteria.

Furniture with synthetic filling has orthopedic properties due to the use of ergonomic memory technology in the manufacture.

The children's corner, represented by cabinet and upholstered furniture, must match the interior of the room. The child's sleeping, working and play areas can be designed in different styles. Universal models fit harmoniously into any interior. Popular designer furniture styles for children's rooms are:

Functional, compact furniture should be made in black, white, gray colors. To decorate the upholstery, it is permissible to use bright accents.

Armchair by the fireplace

Classic armchairs, upholstered in fabric, with a high back, headrest and comfortable armrests, such as the Strandmon models, are rather the dream of any woman; they are comfortable to sit in with needlework or a book, while men prefer rocking chairs. Regular rocking makes you doze off and allows you to relax after a hard day or be lazy on a day off.

Grandma's creaky rocking chair is left in an old movie, the IKEA rocking chair is as silent as it is comfortable, and thanks to its small dimensions, it will fit even into a small space.

Rocking chair for men

The minimalistic design of the Poeng chair has remained relevant for forty years. The model is made in two variations: a chair on spring legs made of laminated birch veneer and a rocking chair with a frame of multi-layer bent-laminated oak wood.

Cases made of genuine leather in calm brown shades from milky to beige and dark brown will emphasize the status of the owner. A thoughtful angle of the backrest will allow you to relax and enjoy moments of rest.

Ikea rocking chair: inexpensive pleasure and an unusual piece of furniture

The Swedish furniture company Ikea produces almost all types of furniture. The rocking chair was not left out either. Indeed, in light of the ongoing fashion trends for these products, the model range of chairs must be completely filled. And considering that Swedish furniture makers adhere to a fairly democratic pricing policy, purchasing a rocking chair in the company’s stores is also very profitable.

Disadvantages and advantages of rocking chairs from IKEA

The two main advantages of Ikea are probably known to everyone - European quality and relatively inexpensive price.

  • An undeniable advantage is the natural, environmentally friendly materials that the Swedes use to produce furniture. All plastics, wood and fabrics used in production are certified.
  • The reliability of Ikea products has also long ago become an axiom, a statement that does not require proof. And the rich experience in developing various models allows the company's designers to come up with product samples that combine beauty and practicality. In addition, all furniture is developed in collections. Therefore, you can purchase several interior items in the same style. Sometimes this has a beneficial effect on the appearance of the room.
  • By purchasing a rocking chair from Ikea, you get a reliable, practical, high-quality and safe product that can be combined with other comfortable furnishings. Together with the chair, for example, you can purchase a soft footrest.

New items and catalog trends

The range of rocking chairs in Ikea catalogs is not that wide. But the small choice is due to the diversity of the model range. Almost all types of these products are present in the assortment. There is a wicker, wooden and combined rocking chair. Let's talk about them in more detail:

  • "Poeng." The most popular model in the entire catalog. Made from high-quality birch veneer, which has excellent springiness. It has a large range of fabric seat covers designed specifically for daily use. All covers are removable and easy to clean. They have a comfortable headrest and a variety of colors. It can withstand a load of up to 170 kilograms, so it is suitable even for overweight people. The warranty for "Poeng" is issued for ten years;
  • "Flaxig." The most inexpensive option for a rocking chair from Swedish furniture makers. Designed by designer David Wahl specifically for children's rooms. This product trains the child’s coordination and sense of balance. Excellently develops the vestibular apparatus. But an adult can also relax in such a chair. Its design is ideal for a high-tech interior. The steel frame, coated with polyester spraying, will prevent injury from the metal and will keep the floor covering safe and sound. But punctual Europeans still advise placing such a chair on a rug;
  • "Vermde." Rocking chair made of solid pine. Available in red and black versions. Thanks to its design and material, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. It has a high back, which is convenient for supporting the head;
  • Ikea PS "Gulholmen". The most budget series of all the furniture from the Swedish furniture company. This wicker rocking chair is made of banana fiber. It has an unusual appearance, as the model was developed by one of the most expressive designers of the company - Maria Vinka. The slightly curved lower part allows you to swing slowly and smoothly, which is very calming. And if you love everything natural and want to save money, then Gulholmen is your option. It will fit perfectly into any eco-friendly interior - the latest in fashion among city dwellers.

It's time to talk about how much a rocking chair costs in IKEA catalogs, and whether it is possible to buy products inexpensively, because, you see, price is one of the most important qualities of a purchase.

Reviews

  • Victor, 52 years old, Moscow. Since I prefer to furnish my country house with furniture from the Ikea store, when the question arose about purchasing a rocking chair, I decided to look there. I’ll say right away that the budget was low, I wanted to keep it to 10,000 rubles. I saw “Vermde” and realized that this is what I need. Firstly, solid pine, covered with stain and varnish, will last a long time. Secondly, wooden furniture can be taken outside without any problems, which is what I needed. Thirdly, the price simply amazed me. I didn’t think that I would buy a rocking chair for only 6,500 rubles. Ikea always helps!
  • Irina, 27 years old, Nizhny Novgorod. I read in a magazine for pregnant women that a rocking chair strengthens the vestibular apparatus and helps get rid of toxicosis. Since I'm expecting a baby, I decided to try this method on myself. My husband and I always buy furniture from Ikea; I’m satisfied with the price and quality. That's why we went there to get a rocking chair. And we are lucky! There was a discount on the Poeng model. The pillow cost 2699, and the frame cost 5999 rubles. This way we saved more than three thousand. And besides, the chair itself turned out to be very convenient and comfortable. In the display case they saw how a special device was pressing on the seat, depicting a person sitting down. The consultant explained that this is an advertisement that the rocking chair can withstand weight up to 170 kilograms. Now I’ll sit in my husband’s arms right in the chair!
  • Milana, 30 years old, Krasnodar. I am a lover of everything unusual. I want to tell everyone about the rocking chair from Ikea. My husband and I recently built a cottage in a nearby suburb and are planning to move there to live. I planned to make the interior non-standard and modern. And when I was looking for some interesting element for the children's room, I came across the Flaxig rocking chair from IKEA on the Internet. Before this, I had no experience of buying anything at Ikea, but I was really intrigued by the chair, and given its cost, I thought I’d take two at once - for my child and my husband. In the end I did just that. We have been using it for six months now, it is a very comfortable and beautiful chair. The covers are easy to remove and machine washable. Now I periodically look at the Ikea catalog, in case something else interesting comes up;
  • Artem, 26 years old, St. Petersburg. I purchased an inexpensive “Gulholmen” rocking chair for my dacha. I was captivated by the inexpensive price and unusual appearance. The furniture, although at first glance looks awkward, upon closer inspection turned out to be very comfortable. And by the way, due to the fact that the chair is woven from banana fiber, it is very light. Grandmother easily carries it into her room and sometimes uses it. This is my advanced granny. By the way, I recommend it to everyone, especially young people.

Swing chair for women

IKEA hanging chairs delight customers with a variety of shapes and colors. Giving the illusion of weightlessness and lightness, they are essentially an analogue of a swing. Due to the need for attachment to the ceiling, hanging chairs are most often used in private homes or on verandas, but floor-standing models with a strong, stable base allow you to have this luxury in an apartment.

Designers are inspired by images of nature and create hanging chairs in the shape of a cocoon, egg or drop. Rattan chairs are always individual, because they are woven by hand. The openwork pattern of metal weaving gives the chair elegance. Armchairs in the form of a hammock are completely devoid of a frame, but do not lose in convenience.

Hanging chairs are loved by both adult women and children. It’s so cozy to climb into a cocoon, settle down on soft pillows, and “let the whole world wait.”

Hammock chairs can withstand loads of up to 100 kg, and wicker cocoons made of rattan or metal even more, up to 170 kg.

The lineup

  • A very original version of the hammock chair is the Ecorre model. What’s attractive about it is its unusual shape – it’s not so much a hammock as a fabric frameless chair, and a witty idea for a seat – an inflatable pillow from the Sagosten series of children’s furniture. The rigidity of the seat can be adjusted by pumping up or, conversely, releasing air. And although the hammock chair was originally intended for children and is part of the children's series, adults also enjoy using the comfortable seat. The chair is attached to the ceiling - on a hook, or with special mounting brackets from Ikea. With their help, you can hang the model not from the ceiling, but from the walls - on a stretcher. This installation option is more convenient on a loggia. The fabric of the hammock is easy to wash. The pillow is simply cleaned with a damp or dry sponge. The cost of the model is 2249 rubles.
  • Special Ekorre fasteners made of galvanized steel are used for installing swings, hanging chairs, lamps, gymnastic rings, and so on. Maximum load – 400 kg. Galvanized steel does not rust, so the mount can also be used when installing outdoor swings or hanging seats on the veranda. The cost of fasteners is 199 rubles.
  • The hanging seat of the Ikea PS Swing series belongs to the swing chair category. It is very durable: the frame of the model is made of hollow steel tubes, and the seat and back are made of artificial rattan. These materials are very reliable and durable. The chair can be installed indoors, on the veranda, and in the garden. Thanks to the high, slightly curved narrow back and seat with raised sides, the model looks very elegant and will decorate a modern home or interior in Provence and country style. Different colors: blue, white, brown, beige. The hanging chair requires ceiling mounting. However, its very shape and proportions limit oscillatory movements around the axis. The model swings in one plane, as befits a traditional swing. The price at which you can buy a hanging chair from the ceiling at IKEA is 13,300 rubles.

You can find out what the Ecorre hanging chair is from the following video review:

And if you are comfortable with the English language, then in the video below you will find an excellent description of the characteristics of the specified model of a hanging hammock chair from IKEA:

Astronaut training

The rotating model of the “Ikea PS Lemsk” chair in the shape of an egg, with a lowering awning, is both a “house” and a “carousel” for a child.

Children indulge in “space flights” for hours, spinning in a chair, thereby training the vestibular apparatus, or hiding in it, like in a hut, because the fabric of the awning allows light to pass through, and it is never dark in the “house.”

Shapeless does not mean ugly

Frameless chairs, or bean bags from American TV series, have moved into our apartments. Their awkward appearance is compensated by their convenience and modest price. They are simply created to lie on them, fall into them with a swing, climb on them with your feet and, in general, frolic, because they have absolutely no corners, so they are absolutely safe.

Removable covers allow you to maintain hygiene, and a variety of colors add bright accents to any interior.

Teenagers love pear chairs for their informality and ease of care. A few bean bag chairs can save a party, and you can store them in the pantry. They do not gather dust, and small objects do not get lost in their crevices. And if during use the chair “loses a little weight” and becomes wrinkled, it’s okay, because the design of the IKEA bean bag chair allows you to add filling if necessary.

Interior styles

Such Ikea furniture compositions can “take root” in a variety of interior styles. It may seem that many styles will not be able to harmonize with wicker furniture compositions. But, if you use the right decor and the right combination of colors and elements, such as wooden countertops, you can achieve a pleasing effect.

The main rule for introducing “braids” into the interior is that you should not use such items individually. Harmony is achieved through their combination.

Wicker furniture will be the highlight of the interior

Another important rule is that it is desirable that all wicker parts match in color and style. Even though they may be created from the same material, even a color difference can upset the balance. If you have the opportunity to purchase a whole set, it is better to do so.

Modern for the kitchen


Strict modern style can be diversified with rattan furniture

If the kitchen interior has a pronounced high-tech, modern or minimalist style, look for wicker furniture with metal decor.

You should not clutter up the kitchen in this style with wickerwork. After all, even a set of chairs is enough. Decor is best avoided.

Country styles with rattan


Furniture made from wicker or bamboo will look good on an open terrace. Particular chic is wicker utensils in the kitchen with natural elements. If the interior is designed in a tropical safari style, you can use a considerable number of items created by weaving. The most effective color scheme is warm and light. In this case, it is not necessary to use decor, because everything is already harmonious.

If in the kitchen there are not tropical, but other natural elements that have a connection with the forest, meadow and flower fields, “wicker”, which has the color of tree bark, will fit unusually beautifully. A suitable type of decor is various types of fur.

In a classic style, wicker furniture fits well in combination with light finishes

To prevent twig utensils from spoiling the look of rooms with such styles, they should not be painted. And, if you have selected polymer interior parts, their tone must be close to the natural colors of the wood. Almost any Ikea wicker furniture is suitable for loft-style kitchens. Especially if it is decorated with plaid pillows and throws in the interior, created by yourself.

Country style in the interior is something that can create a wonderful combination with this type of furniture. And the simpler it is, the better. You should not look for intricate weaves and complex options consisting of several materials. Perhaps the best type of decor is items made of checkered fabric.

Colonial style: how to create an unusual interior:

Classic wicker armchairs

For classic kitchen spaces, a combination of smooth or textured wooden elements and rods is suitable. As for the decor, you need to rely on other elements of the decor, observing ergonomics.

Combining baroque, vintage or retro style with wicker elements is quite a difficult task. She has a solution - to select unusual wicker utensils with noticeable notes of one of these styles.

b=Such furniture can look very presentable

Ethnic style is perfectly combined with wicker chests of drawers, baskets, armchairs or sofas. And in order for the effect of such a union to amaze in a good way, do not make a mistake with the choice of colors and shapes.
