There are several parameters by which the interior of the room is formed. In accordance with these requirements, it will be easy to choose the number of seats in any kitchen.
Ergonomics and floor space
If the dimensions of the room allow you to put a large dining table in it, then there should be enough chairs to distribute them around it beautifully. Are you planning to host many guests? Then the seats can be located close to each other at a certain interval so that it is convenient to sit and get up.
If only a family gathers at a bulky table, chairs should be arranged at large intervals on each side, but observing symmetry.
Important! If the area of the apartment allows you to allocate at least part of the space for temporary furniture arrangement, then some chairs can be arranged in a row along the wall in another room.
If necessary, additional seats quickly move to organize a banquet.
Dining table location
Calculate the number of seats should also be based on the location of the table. If he is leaning against the wall with one or two sides, then next to him simply does not fit more than 3-4 seats. The same if the table is located in a niche.
Important! It matters not only the placement, but also the shape of the countertops. Less people sit on a round surface than a square.
The number of people at the table
Ideally, each family member should have their own place at the table. therefore chairs in the kitchen are acquired by the number of people living in the house.
The exception is small rooms, where at the same time the whole family simply does not gather. Then the number of seats will be rationally halved to be placed at the table in turn.
Tips for determining the number of chairs
There are several tricks that will help you find the perfect balance between the required number of furniture, the peculiarity of the room and other nuances.
- Can give preference to chairs of a certain shape, which, if necessary, are tightly put on each other, forming a "pyramid". This compact design will be removed to the far corner of the house or fit in the pantry, so that then it quickly appears.
- In order to save space, it is reasonable purchase high backless bar models. They have two disadvantages: they fit a certain interior and are uncomfortable during long family dinners.
- Appreciate comfort and solidity in everything, and at the same time no more than three people live in the house? Buy furniture with high backs and armrests. For a pair of such “armchairs” there is a place even in a modest-sized kitchen.
- In small rooms, every centimeter is saved, and boxes with dishes and other utensils are located up to the ceiling. By purchasing chairs, you can combine in them two functions - a comfortable seat and a stepladder. Special models are stable, have several crossbars between legs located in the manner of a ladder.
- The functionality of modern furniture is combined with the original design, which takes on bizarre shapes. So you can find chairs on one leg, narrow with expanding seats, on a C-shaped bent base. They effortlessly stacked together, saving space. But even classic designs can be arranged so that everyone has enough spaceand the kitchen will not turn into a cluttered junk shop.
