Wingback chair is a late 17th century work where loveseat is designed with side wings or also called cheeks. The wings end on the arms and partially cover the upper body to protect from the wind and catch heat from the fireplace.
Therefore wingbacks are often found near fireplaces. At present, wingback chairs are not only for living rooms or study rooms, but also for dining rooms, bedrooms and more. Here are some wingback chair references for your own home.
Dining Duos
A pair of winged chairs can be placed at the end of the dining table and mixed with an armchair.
If you combine wingback seats with conventional side dining chairs, be sure to have a matching shape. In some designs, a solid back on the side seat may be too large in a combination like this. Therefore, be careful so that the back of the side chair does not rival the rear wing.
Wingback is a little heavier than the average dining chair and will require you to put your hands on the upholstered armrest. Therefore, this chair is not suitable for messy people. We recommend that you choose a durable upholstery.
Festive Foyer
Empty space in the foyer or corner of the living room is usually difficult to arrange. However, with a handsome wingback duo, it will create a useful place to see the door when someone is waiting for a friend.
Chair Pairs
Winged chairs will look great if in pairs. The tortuous shape will be better if balanced in a room with a soul mate.
There are three ways to pair the wingback, namely placing them side by side with the fireplace room, placed side by side without space between them or replacing loveseat or sofa. This design offers more style compared to the second sofa which is coordinated. Another way to combine wingbacks is to face them across the coffee table.
Solo Seat
Although winged chairs look good when in pairs, they also work well themselves. Generally, solo wingback chairs are used to fill corners, as in this example. A more modern single wing chair can also be placed on the opposite side of the sofa and a pair of bobbin chairs. This will make the room balanced.
Wingback Chair Style
Traditional
In traditional wingback chairs, the wings are usually curved not only from the side of the display but often from the front. These traditional design wings end in rolled arms. The chair legs are usually rotated, straight to the shape of a cabriole. Even though you use a traditional model chair, you can make it look attractive using modern coatings.
Modern Midcentury
Winged chairs became quite popular in the middle of the 20th century. The wing chair at that time became slimmer than the previous version. Chairs usually have wings that are completely open or partially detached from the arm. The wings are also usually integrated with the rear seats to match and blend.
Contemporary
Contemporary wingback chairs usually have high backs and contemporary wings are the main feature of this room. Some contemporary chairs have bold horizontal lines and make them more striking.
Transitional
This wingback chair is very multifunctional and can adjust to the design. They can be traditional or contemporary chairs depending on fabric selection.
