5 Ways to Customize Amish Living Room Chairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Choose the Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The frame of your living room chair is oh so important. The foundation, added support and a big dose of style are put into the frame. With Amish living room chairs, you can always count on a solid wood foundation and a long list of wood types<\/a> to choose from. Perhaps you enjoy oak wood’s <\/a>prominent grain pattern or the dark tones of walnut wood<\/a>. There\u2019s the appealing texture of brown maple<\/a> wood that\u2019s easy to stain or paint, as well as rustic wood options that feature more knots and markings to capture that natural, rugged appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you choose the wood?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Order samples. Seeing wood and stain combinations up close is the best way to determine which wood you like best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch a video:  Our video library<\/a> is full of wood type videos that give you a quick background on what each wood type is like, as well as colorful clips of each kind.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Choose the Stain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stain<\/a> has a huge impact on the final look of wood furniture. The choice of stain brings out the beauty of the wood\u2019s grain pattern, creating a gorgeous look for wood furniture. Don\u2019t be intimidated by wood and stain choices. Once you\u2019ve made a wood selection, consider the color tone you\u2019d like it to take. Then, select from the stain options that fit your color tone of choice. Working with samples at home along with advice from a furniture specialist is the best way to make your selections.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Pick the Upholstery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Adding the plush to Amish living room chairs is part of the fun. There are so many options to choose from, like fabric, suede, Crypton fabric that\u2019s stain resistant and easy to clean, faux leather, ultra leather (a high-grade faux leather), and genuine leather<\/a>. Custom upholstery options don\u2019t stop there. If you have a fabric of your own that you\u2019d like to use, you can speak with a furniture specialist to see if the woodworker will use your fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n
