Bar Stools and Cushions
The Alpha Creations
cushion seat is made of 3 layers of padding. 2 layers of high density foam and
one layer of upholstery batting. Our experience has lead to a combination
that is comfortable and that will last for many years.
Homeowners have many choices to
make when it comes to the purchase of bar furniture and what many have
found is that the upholstered barstool has numerous advantages. The
variety of different upholsteries available increases the versatility of
the bar chairs. No longer are the bar stools confined to the bar or game room,
but they can fit into the décor of any room depending on the design of the
chairs.
One of the biggest advantage of
the upholstered bar stools is that the upholstery can be altered to suit the
changing styles in the home. Re-upholstered chairs are like having new furniture at a fraction of the cost.
     
There are a few factors to consider
when choosing the correct upholstery. Firstly ensure that the bar chairs
complement the existing décor or theme of the room, and if the
upholstery suits the style of the chairs. Solid coloured upholstery fabrics
blend well with most decors, whereas patterns can highlight the bar stools
and the colour can affect the room décor. Bright colours tend to
complement more modern furniture while earthy colours tend to suit the
traditional looks.
Functionality and durability of the
upholstery fabric also plays a role in the choice of material and colour
of the barstool. Consideration needs to be given to the following:
- How often the bar chairs will be
used?
- Where will the bar chairs be used,
i.e. will food or drinks be involved, or will the barstools be exposed
to sunlight?
Alpha Creations offers upholstery
in fabric, vinyl and imitation leather also known as leather touch.
Genuine leather can also be requested but would come at a higher price.
Fabric is more useful for lounge and bar while vinyl is more suitable for
restaurants and kitchens as the oil and grime can be wiped from vinyl with
a light detergent.
Another advantage of the stool
cushions is that it is more comfortable. Due to the padding effect,
cushions remain comfortable for longer while hard seats such as wooden
seats, will only be comfortable to a point. Cushions will therefore be a great choice if the guests are going to remain seated for a longer period
of time.
Another option of
vinyl cushions is that they can be imprinted with your company logo or
message of your choice. This is popular for shop fronts and companies that
want to increase the exposure and their company image. Branded bar stools
are an effective way to put your brand out there without being too
obtrusive.
