Tub chairs are a simple way to add something different to your home. They have a very unique style that makes them stand out from regular items of furniture. For over 150 years people have had them in their homes. You may have noticed tub chairs in hotel reception areas, coffee shops and even in offices around the country. The high arm rests and the low seating position make them very comfortable to sit in. Some people use them for back care because they produce good posture.
A single tub chair can work well in any room in the house. In the living room they can be used as an additional seat to the sofa or settee. Many people have them positioned in the corner of the room or by a bay window to allow some natural light to flow over their curves. They look just fine in contemporary or rustic homes. Antique chairs always fit in well with older style interiors. For an alternative to sofas you could try a double tub chair. This serves exactly the same purpose but looks so much better.
Leather is a great material for the home, and top grade leather chairs can be a real focal point in the house. The best quality leather will have natural patterning within it. The natural oils will also be present, and these are what give that soft feel and suppleness when you sit in them. An additional bonus is the smell they create, as leather has a characteristic odour that people love. The only downside is the cost, with some of the best examples costing around $2000.
For a cheaper alternative you could try a fabric tub chair. There are limitless patterns and colors to choose from that will blend in with any type of home décor you can think of. Expect to pay between $200 to $500 for a good quality fabric example. You can pay a lot more than this for the finest hand crafted chairs from the smaller independent retailers. Whichever kind of tub chair you choose, you can guarantee there will be nothing that looks or feels the same.
