Tips for Picking the Right Oversized Chair
There are countless types of oversized chairs to choose from, which means it can be hard to narrow your options. Here are a few ways to sort through the different available chairs and choose the best one for your home and lounging needs.
Measure Your Space
The very first thing you should do when picking out a chair is to measure your living area to make sure your new favorite piece will fit. An oversized chair will be wider and deeper than a standard model. For example, while a basic chair might be 20 to 30 inches wide, an oversized chair could reach 60 inches wide.
Identify how wide and deep your chair could be while still fitting comfortably in your living room or den. If you want to buy a recliner, leave around six inches between the chair and the wall for you to lean back. The same goes for an oversized swivel chair, in which it’s best to be sure a space allows you to turn comfortably without knocking over any precious décor.
Find the Right Oversized Chair
The next step is to choose your ideal type. This will depend on your design aesthetic and goals for the chair. Here are a few common types and why homeowners choose them.
- Oversized Recliner Chair: These are perfect for people who want to put their legs up after a long day. You won’t have to buy a matching ottoman because the reclining functionality provides a footrest for you.
- Oversized Lift Chair: A lift chair is ideal for people with limited mobility. They help individuals stand up with manual or digital lift features.
- Oversized Accent Chair: This is a great option to provide support to other pieces in the room. You can choose an oversized round chair in a contrasting color or unique pattern that pops in your space.
- Oversized Swivel Chair: This option allows the chair to easily turn. Choose this option if you want flexibility in your seating but don’t want people moving chairs around your delicate floors.
- Oversized Rocker Chair: Another option is a rocker chair that is naturally comfortable and ideal for new moms. You can relax in an oversized space and gently rock your kids to sleep.
Choose Upholstery That Accommodates Your Lifestyle
The final step is to choose upholstery that meets your needs. Leather seating is an excellent option if you need a chair that is easy to clean and durable against kids or pets. However, fabric upholstery allows for a variety of colors and customizable options. Consider whether you value durability, price, or appearance the most in your oversized chair, and let that guide your upholstery purchase process.
