When our Fort Wayne furniture company considers the role of chairs and other furniture in interior design, we think of it as one piece of a puzzle. True, the chair is just one aspect of a room’s layout, and the room could technically be ok without a statement chair. But there would always be a feeling of incompleteness, which is why Fairfield Galleries emphasizes the importance of chairs in bringing a home together.

Furniture’s Key Role in Your Home

While carpets/rugs, paint color, and art contribute to the overall look and feel of a room, furniture plays a key role inside your home. Whereas those other objects are mostly passive in nature, furniture is active – families work, play, and relax on and around chairs, tables, and desks. That’s why it’s important to select furniture like a reclining loveseat or a recliner chair that makes for premium comfort and premium living.

A Chair can Complete a Home

Spatially, and to some extent psychologically, entering an empty or sparsely furnished home feels strange, and perhaps a bit devoid of purpose and meaning. But on the brighter side, the trained eyes of our interior designers in Fort Wayne see such spaces as an opportunity to create. And if you want to bring life, soul, and color into a home, what better way to start than within furniture. One of our comfortable recliners or a cushy loveseat can make a home pop while brightening the mood.

Chairs Dictate the Flow and Feeling of a Room

Just as important as selecting the right kind of chair is the consideration of placement in a room. Before buying a chair, think about how people will move in and out of the room, and within it. For example, most home offices need an unobstructed path so that you can move with ease from one “station” (i.e. desk, bookcase, printer) to another. However, in a living room, furniture should be positioned to imply clear separation from surrounding rooms such as the kitchen, dining room, and sunroom. Chairs such as an Allie swivel chair or a Leslie lounge chair should be positioned to achieve this goal of separation. An “open space” concept is great, but you don’t want things to be too open that people are just aimlessly sauntering through the middle of the living room to reach the backyard deck. We can assist you with sectioning off your furniture to create an implied yet unimpeded flow.

A Chair Defines the Look of a Room

This is probably the least abstract idea conveyed here. Whether you prefer your home to look traditional or modern, art deco or cozy, bringing your vision to life relies heavily on the kinds of furniture and chairs you choose. Instead of trying to mix and match competing styles, focus on choosing chairs that complement the space and the other pieces of furniture within the space. Give considerable thought to color, patterns, and furniture size before moving forward with a purchase.
