There is just something about a round shape that catches the eye. Perhaps it's because of the unique effect it has on straight surfaces but it may also be due to its soft curve. Regardless of what it is, a round chair has proven extremely valuable in a home's design. Adding a round chair in your living room is a surefire way in breathing life and adding personality into your space.
- Leather - Round chairs can come with leather covers. If you want to use a natural material, leather is a good option but it's worth remembering that no two hides or leather are exactly the same. Also, neck wrinkles, insect bites, growth lines, veins, and scars of a leather covering aren't faults. As a matter of fact, most homeowners consider them as features that enhance a chair's natural beauty. Leather is our personal favorite as well as it improves with age.
- Fabric - There are over 150 choices when it comes to fabric coverings and they all have the same attractive designs, wearing properties, and the ability to offer value for your money. If you're looking for an exact color out of a round chair, then you'd mostly find it with a fabric covering.
A chair's frame gives the entire piece its structure and shape. You'd want your chair's frame to be tough, durable, and strong so it copes with everyday life's demands. As for the support of your chair, you can choose from webbing, zigzag springs, sprung edges, traditional springs, and serpentine.
When it comes to a chair's filling, which is its comfort layer, your two choices are foam and fiber. If you want the firmest feel and a material that can retain its look, then you would want a foam filling. Traditional round chairs are mostly filled with foam. As for fiber, it's a synthetic filling that offers soft or medium level of comfort. The softness or firmness will depend on the filling's density and quality. A round chair that has a fiber filling needs plumping daily in order to ensure that the furniture retains its shape. When you look for your available options online, you'll find that the more expensive units are filled with fiber.
A small round chair that has a foam filling will cost anywhere between $150 and $500. For an expensive model that's constructed using premium materials, then expect the price to be anywhere between $500 and $1,000. As for designer models, they can easily cost thousands of dollars. Also, certain styles are more expensive compared to others as different materials are used, which play a huge role in the total cost of round chairs. The expensive material is real leather. If you're after the look of leather but you’d rather cut on costs, then opt for faux leather.
