In the later eighteen hundreds, an American designer deployed the tub chair into the American consumer market. In addition, the tub chair has only grown in popularity since it’s debut.

Several variations have been created over the last hundred years and a very popular one among easy chair enthusiasts is the swivel tub chair, as it gives you versatility without sacrificing style or coziness. The only real distinction between this version and the original is that the manufacturer places a wood or metal disc on the bottom of the chair that smoothly turns as the person that is seated applies pressure left or right. This form of the tub chair is great for family rooms where in one position a person can be watching TV, and the turn to visit with another sitting on the couch or loveseat.

Tub chair covers have been around for almost as long as the chair itself has been being made. Covers also come in handy if the leather has been become so worn that a replacement is necessary..

Since you will be going to the trouble of getting your chair rehabilitated, it may be a good time to have everything recovered for a matching ensemble.

If you are one of the unique homeowners that have a monochromatic interior theme, then a black tub chair will fit perfectly into the scheme of things. This will help you mix enough black accents into your predominately white interior. This color also works well with earth tones as long as there is not too much black color already in the room. The materials that a black tub chair comes in are, leather, faux leather, micro fiber, cotton, vinyl, and various mixed textiles. Leather will be the best choice as the cover will stand up to kids, and spouses who spill their coffee or beer frequently while watching television.

Swan tub chairs are timeless seating that not only provide a relaxing spot to unwind, but is a work of art gives your tub chair a splendid three dimensional look with hand carved swans built into the arm extensions of the chair. The swans are layered sculptures that do not stand out but their presence adds depth and character that will be a great conversation starter with visitors for decades to come. As the wood detail is made from sturdy hardwood, it would probably not be a good selection for a home with several small children. About every ten years, the wood extensions the swans are a part of will need to be refinished by a local craftsman that is used to dealing with elaborate detail.

For high traffic areas like retail stores, nightclubs, or restaurants a red tub chair would be the perfect addition as red invokes a faster heart rate, and naturally creates a healthy appetite. You will be providing your clientele with grand styled seating and use the subliminal properties of the color red to passively manipulate their speed of eating and drinking, plus creating their appetite if they did not have one upon entering. A superb color combination with red leather or faux leather is black piping on the edges of the chair. This accent on the color red or variations was very popular in the late 1960s and is making a successful comeback today. Ordering enough chairs for a club or restaurant might take a few months for the furniture maker to deliver them all.

Since the most popular decoration colors are earth tones, working a cream leather tub chair into your décor will be very easy as cream is a natural or organic color that blends well. Using chocolate browns, sand, taupe, dark rust, gray brown, or pewter brown all will work into the color scheme with your cream tub chair. A matching ottoman will only add to a more prolific design style. Since leather is organic and breaths, the pores can hold stains if heaven forbid cranberry juice is spilled, the pores may absorb some of the dye, and ruin your cream color tub chair. Check with the furniture store that you purchased your chair from, and ask about protective leather products that can be applied occasionally to prevent this from happening.

Since tub chairs have been around for so long, you may be able, find some great deals on used or antique models. A hundred year old swan tub chair once restored will make for a great centerpiece in your living room furniture set up. It will be a little extra work as more than one artisan will be involved with a project such as this one. You will need to have the upholstery shop strip off all material and clear the frame of any tacking, nails, staples, or attachment studs. Then it is off to the antique refinisher to restore the wood frame and the complex carving of your swans. Once he or she has finished restoring the wood to new condition, it is back to the upholstery shop for covering.

Choosing your material for the swan chair is not difficult, either use leather or a faux leather. The faux leather will cost a lot less and will probably last longer than cowhide, plus it is more stain resistant than any other material you can cover the chair with except of course for a poly plastic cover which would be defeating the purpose of having such a wonderful chair in your home. Faux leather comes in such a wide variety of colors that you may have trouble choosing. The best decision will be to make it look as natural as possible mimicking a brown, black, or cream color. The darker the color the more natural it will look to the casual observer.

If you are like most homeowners, the latest craze in creating outdoor living spaces has taken the country by storm. The rattan tub chair is one of the best selections for outdoor seating, especially with a covered porch or pavilion setting. Adding designer cushions to blend in with the theme you have designed for your natural living area will add that extra comfort you and your visitors will enjoy. Match that with a similarly styled rattan sofa, outdoor flat screen television, and a ceiling fan and you will have an instant outdoor theater so that you and the family can enjoy movie night under the moon and the stars.

To round our talk on these magnificent chairs we cannot leave out the tub dining chairs. If you entertain in your formal dining room, on occasion this chair will relax your dining guest while they enjoy your crab bisque, and grilled tuna steaks. There are some hybrid tub chairs used for dining rooms that are little more narrow than the standard product, but going with the later will be more versatile, especially if you have guests that are lets just say, “Big Boned”, and will give them room to spread the same as an average sized person.
