Methacrylate Chairs: An Elegant Space-Saving Solution
Methacrylate chairs have become an elegant, original and fun way to make our homes feel brighter and more spacious.
Methacrylate is a plastic material that is characterized by its rigidity and its high resistance to scratches and the elements.
As a result, methacrylate is the perfect material for both interiors and exteriors.
With it, we can make a whole range of different items, including chairs – one of the stars of interior design.
In today’s article we’re going to talk about methacrylate chairs, and why they’re so useful when it comes to making our homes feel more spacious.
Methacrylate chairs: why are they so popular?
Innovative material
It’s true that many people are not at all fond of this type of chair. They can appear flimsy or impractical, and might not look as if they’ll go well with any type of decor.
This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Methacrylate is a pretty hard-wearing material, so hard-wearing in fact, that we can use it to make all sorts of objects.
Classic design
Although they are made from a slightly more unusual material than other chairs, with their combination of a classic design and the modern methcrylate, these chairs are striking objects that are sure to make an impression.
Methacrylate chairs can also fit perfectly with almost any decorative style.
For example, models like the Eames or the Ghost chair are clear examples of a fusion of the modern and the classical.
Colors
Although the main point of this type of chair is that they are transparent, many companies have decided to add a touch of color.
You can now find pink, blue and even yellow methacrylate chairs.
However, that does not mean that they lose any of their trademark transparency.
You can also find other variations, like chairs with solid or metallic-look frames.
Decorative elements
Methacrylate chairs are perfect if you want to create combinations which suit your personal taste and which can adapt to all different decorative styles.
We often see them combined with cushions of all different shapes, sizes, styles, and textures.
Transparency, your greatest ally
It might seem impossible that a completely solid option that you can’t simply fold away might be your greatest ally when it comes to creating space in your room.
But the transparency is exactly what does it. When we walk into a room with transparent chairs, they trick our eyes, so that we hardly even notice them. Many people use the expression, “there and not there” to describe this effect.
Because the chairs look as if they aren’t really there at all, it creates an illusion which makes the room seem larger than it really is.
Visually, they make the room seem lighter, and even more so if they are completely transparent.
Perfect for small spaces
Transparent elements, in general, are perfect for decorating small spaces for two fundamental reasons.
Firstly, the absence of color allows us to see straight through them to what’s behind, meaning that there is no visual barrier. As a result, the room looks bigger.
Secondly, if your room doesn’t get much natural light, methacrylate chairs will reflect what light there is and multiply it.
Your room will look visually lighter, brighter and more spacious.
Conclusion
Methacrylate chairs have become the epitome of simplicity, style, and practicality in the world of interior design.
As we’ve seen, just because these chairs are made from a slightly different material, this doesn’t mean that they are somehow lacking in style. Many big designers have decided to remake some of their flagship models in methacrylate.
By doing this they have combined the modern with the classical, creating a unique item that you’re sure to love.
If you’re worried that your room will look too simple and bland, don’t. These chairs will look best if you combine them with decorative elements like cushions.
Besides, you can also find colored methacrylate chairs.
But these chairs were really designed with functionality in mind. They’re not just ordinary chairs; they can actually help you increase the amount of space and light in your home. As we have seen, their main strengths lie in the optical illusion they create.
