If you want a dining room that presents an ambiance of formality and elegance, no seating style will serve you better than that offered by parsons chairs. Parsons chairs are the dining chair of choice for many discerning homeowners and the reasons for this are self evident. Offering comfortable seating with a royal look and feel, these chairs truly enhance the dining experience.
If you think you don’t know what parsons chairs are, you probably do but you just don’t realize it. Parsons chairs are the upholstered dining room chairs that are crafted from wood frames with padded seating. When people imagine the most elegant of dining room settings, parsons chairs are usually the seating style they picture. However, these chairs should not be limited to the dining room. Parsons chairs are a great way to introduce additional seating into living rooms and bedrooms as well.
While parsons chairs themselves are often formal in nature, the true ambiance of the chair is determined by its fabric. For instance, if you wanted your chairs to give off a look and feel of formality, you could choose parsons chairs upholstered with chenille, toile, or jacquard fabrics. On the other hand, if you wanted your dining room to present a contemporary atmosphere, you would want to select a fabric that would compliment that atmosphere. Parsons chairs are even available upholstered in scenic fabrics that present themes, such as an African safari, allowing them to gracefully enhance almost any decor.
The type of fabric used to upholster your parsons chairs is not the only choice you have to make when deciding how you want your chairs to look. The way the chair is upholstered is also an important decision. Some parsons chairs feature only upholstered seats and backs, allowing the legs of the chair to show. More often than not, the legs of parsons chairs feature the cabriolet or Queen Anne styles, although other styles are available. There are also parsons chairs that feature “skirts” which drape to the ground and cover the chair’s legs. If you want skirts on your chairs, you should determine whether you prefer a straight skirt or a skirt with trim.
Parsons chairs have been a long standing formal seating tradition for many generations. If you want to entertain your guests with impeccable grace and style, parsons chairs are an absolute must.
