Tub Chairs – Add Some Style To Your Living Room

Tub chairs have been around for a while, and have only got better with time. Learn all about the tub with this definitive guide.

Tub chairs are one of the most fashionable chair styles, and a great feature in any home décor. Although they are very popular today, this type of chair has been around for at least a hundred years, and are said to embody a mixture of Art Deco and classical style, as is found in models such as those by the famous 19^th Century Austrian architect and furniture designer Josef Hoffman. They were traditionally seen as a chair for sophisticated types of people, and their relevance and popularity ensues well into 21^st century interior design.

What Are Tubs?

The classic design style of a tub chair should be instantly recognisable upon sight. They are usually quite low to the ground, with four short legs that resemble pins. On top of the legs is the actual seat – which unsurprisingly resembles a kind of tub – with a curved, or arched back, and adjoining armrests. They were traditionally made out of leather or a similar fine material, although today tubs are available in all kind of modern fabrics and styles. They are not to be confused with pod chairs which originated in the 1960s. Another modern relative of the tub is the egg chair, which is a kind of a cross between the pod chair and the classical tub design.

The Top 3 Tub Chairs

Leather Tub Chairs. Many people think of the leather tub as the “original and best” style available. A well upholstered, leather tub is the ultimate mark of class and sophistication, that makes the perfect addition to any living room, office or study.

Faux-Leather Chairs. Faux-leather tubs are simply made using a leather lookalike material instead of the real thing. Though often just as stylish in appearance, faux-leather tubs are generally more inexpensive than those tubs made out of real leather.

Fabric Tub Chairs. Nowadays when not everyone wants to invest in leather furniture, fabric-based alternatives are readily available on the market. Their advantages are that fabrics can easily be designed with various colours, patterns and designs, and so they offer more design variety than leather.

Before You Buy

Tub Chair Covers. There is a wide variety of chair covers which are specifically designed for tubs on the interior homes market. So whether you want to protect the leather or fabric of your tub, or you just want to give it a fresh lease of life with a new design, you should always keep an eye out for chair covers.

Quality Vs. Price. In today's market it is really quite easy to purchase a tub at a relatively low price from just about any furniture retailer. Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but if you are looking for the high scale of style and sophistication that tubs are renowned for, you should always look at the upper end of the market, especially at real leather tub chairs.
