Dining Chairs for the Elderly
Whether you're elderly yourself or shopping for a relative, you're likely to be aware of the challenges that advanced age can bring. Good support is essential at all ages, but moreso when in one's twilight years. As a family run business, we understand the importance of ensuring that every need is satisfied and sell a great number of dining chairs for the elderly. Furthermore, Our ongoing discourse with customers has enabled us to manufacture products in line with your preferences, resulting in a wide range of elegant and ergonomic furniture for shoppers of any age. Typically, chairs with armrests were situated on either end of the table, with more compact items adopting a more central position. When it comes to catering for elders, it's worth reserving the most comfortable designs for those who will benefit from the additional support. Armrests can even help you to propel yourself out of the seat. All of our chairs are designed for extended periods of use, and characterised by high standards of comfort. Foam padding and rich upholstery are common features across the range, and both play a vital role in keeping you cosy. Furthermore, our items are invariably equipped with generous backrests. "Back support is vital, and the height you plump for can really make a difference to a number of factors. A mid height backrest will cosset you without occupying too much visual space, while a taller structure invites you to settle back into the fabric and unabashedly relax." Carlo Walnut Chair Black Leather As a general rule, we recommend selecting something versatile; a good chair that can be used for a range of purposes. After all, classic dining chairs are not merely designed for dining and can in actual fact be used at desks, dressing tables and even for watching television. It may be that you're shopping for something compact and practical to aid you in your daily tasks. The right chair provides an excellent perch for a vast range of activities, from reading to knitting and beyond. We understand that perhaps you don't need to cater to the needs of the elderly on a daily basis, yet remain concerned for their welfare. If you tend to entertain grandparents or guests, you may wish to bear some practical issues in mind. In terms of style, it's good to choose something versatile that appeals to tastes across the board. Neutral colours are always a winner, thanks to their inherently conservative charm. The Knightsbridge Oak Chair Tweed Fabric is a great example, and is both durable and demure. Alternatively, items like the Rochelle Office Chair fuse exquisite style with the technical ingenuity of more modern designs. This intelligent model incorporates castor wheels, a 360 degree swivel feature and gas lift mechanism, allowing you to adjust the chair to keep you comfortable. Furthermore, the easy-clean surface means the Rochelle requires little maintenance. For a really sublime experience, view our extensive range of dining chairs using the button below. Guaranteed to provide blissful sitting, they'll transcend their purpose to satisfy users from every generation.

Neutral Bar Stools
In interior design, neutral tones are becoming more and more popular. And stools are no different. With their subtle, versatile, minimalist qualities, choosing a bar stool in a neutral shade is a fantastic way to update your interior. But what does it exactly mean? Otherwise known as “earth tones”, these are muted hues that you won’t find on a colour wheel. Naturally occurring, they include white, beige, cream, grey and black.These can be classed into two groups. First, the ‘Monochrome’ hues: grey, white and black. Over the last few years, grey bar stools have soared in popularity. From rich charcoal to lighter ash, there are so many shades for you to choose from. Secondly, we have the shades of cream, incorporated within cream bar stools. These are organic colours, from off-white to beige, that create a clean, minimalist look. "Remember, while these tones are typically without colour; most actually do contain elements of pigment. Even cream stools can have undertones of pink, orange or blue, so make sure that you match your interior with the right hue." Our bar stools are built to last, so it’s important that you choose a design that you’ll enjoy for a long time. Models in neutral shades are excellent investment pieces, particularly for the indecisive. While you may grow tired of a brighter model, or it may go out of fashion, more muted tones are a timeless, safe option. You can also use these colours to soften down bolder designs for a sophisticated aesthetic. We love the eye-catching Stitch Bar Stool in grey, and the Chateau in white (pictured below). Chateau Brushed Bar Stool White Choosing a stool in one of these shades is a savvy move because they are extremely versatile. They suit both modern and more traditional interiors. They also look great alongside similarly muted tones, or can be used to accentuate brighter features. Earth tones also make up the basic colour palette of trendy Scandinavian Style interior design, which uses organic colours and textures to enhance natural light and brighten rooms. Use models in neutral shades, like the Jive Wooden Stool (pictured below) to effortlessly introduce Scandi style into your space. Jive Wooden Stool White How to Liven Up a Neutral Room Of course, choosing a bar stool in a neutral colour doesn’t mean that you can’t incorporate colour into your interior. Models in organic tones are great for colour lovers as well as the colour-shy, allowing you to make bold design choices without overpowering your look. Adding Accents with Colour Once you’ve created a muted base palette, you can use colour to add interest. If you’re feeling brave, pair a bold statement wall with more subdued furnishings. Or, for a safer option, you can use colourful accessories to liven up your design. Flowers and fruit bowls are inexpensive ways to transform your look without breaking the bank. Adding Depth with Textures To add depth, try layering different textures. The Mars light grey seat and brushed steel frame offer a gorgeously understated look. Or, for a true organic Scandinavian aesthetic, go for a stool with an oak frame and white seat like the Drift Oak & White. Lusso Bar Stool Cream Velvet Whatever you choose, we have a fantastic range of designs here at Atlantic Shopping. You can browse our entire range using the button below.

Metal Dining Chairs
If you’re looking to update your current dining furniture, we have an expansive collection of fantastic products for you to choose from. Distinguished by their ultra-modern look, metal dining chairs allow a vast array of styles and shapes that are not possible with other more traditional materials. With an enhanced range of trendy features they boast boundless benefits, delivering form as well as function. Signature Strength Renowned for their trademark toughness, metal frames are notably durable. Whatever finish is employed, their core strength makes them remarkably solid and hardwearing. Whilst they may show sticky fingerprints, their low maintenance surface means these can easily be wiped off with a cloth. Joints can be either welded or bolted, both of which are characteristically robust. Due to the harsher nature of metal, most designs have rubber protective floor plugs or felt pads that sit on the underside of the legs. Out of sight, these help to protect whatever surface they’re placed on by reducing the chance of scratches and marks. To keep damage to a minimum we suggest that when moving chairs around, you pick them up instead of dragging them. Chic Look Our renowned collection boasts two metallic frame types. With a glossy appearance that reflects its surroundings, mirrored chrome projects a futuristic sheen and polished luminosity, as the Shanghai demonstrates. Brushed steel is a beautiful matte alternative that has been hand-worked to produce its signature chic surface. More muted than lustrous chrome, it matches many modern kitchen appliances for a sleek uniform look. If you’re after something minimalistic, choose a mirrored chrome frame with sleek white plastic or a clear acrylic. Working in harmony together, these create a visually space saving aesthetic. Or for something a little different, check out the Joshua, its frame is completely upholstered in faux leather. "Fabulously versatile, metal framed dining chairs will compliment a broad spectrum of seat materials. For a designer look, why not opt for a chic black leather or faux leather with a brushed steel frame, both immensely fashionable materials that are constantly sought after by our clients." Striking Shapes Marvellously malleable, metal makes a variety of fantastic frame shapes possible. Central column designs deliver a host of stylish attributes that are not to be missed. Many include a state-of-the-art gas lift mechanism and 360 degree swivel, similar to that used in office chairs. Allowing you to easily alter the height and position to your individual needs, these offer optimum accessibility and are great for diners of varying heights, such as children, as seen in the Clementine. Conversely, you may wish to go for a fixed height model. Whilst somewhat simpler than their single stem counterparts, their vast array of eye-catching shapes make them by no means a second rate choice. Four-legged designs, whilst traditional in shape, can offer a cool contemporary look. Some have four separate legs bolted to the seat, whereas the legs on the Tempo (pictured below) are made up of just two pieces of metal which intersect beneath the seat to form a four-legged base. Tempo Dining Chair Grey For a striking silhouette, ultra-modern cantilever frames are a firm favourite, with minimalist designs like the Mica perfect for creating that cool, contemporary kitchen or dining space. Alternatively, the Bucket Chair boasts a square box frame for an exceedingly stable base. Instantly recognisable the DSR Eames range (pictured below) displays iconic metallic webbing for a eye-catching geometric flair. Metal legs are typically hollow, their lightweight nature meaning you can move the chairs around with relative ease. They also come in a variety of shapes ranging from cylindrical and tubular, as seen in the Faith, to square or rectangular. They can also gracefully taper to the floor for an elegant touch. Furthermore, whilst you may only see the frame of the legs, it is in fact present beneath the seat and backrest upholstery, giving the chair its signature shape. Whether you’re after a chic contemporary design or a funky retro model, our trendy dining chairs provide a broad spectrum of options.

Round Bar Stools
Round bar stools are a brilliant range of compact stools that will work in any location you care to think of, from a compact breakfast bar in the corner of your kitchen through to an open plan cocktail area in the heart of your home. As curved work surfaces and round kitchen units become an ever more frequent sight, round stools are in turn becoming ever more popular as people look to match the appearance of with their surrounding decor. Padded Crescent Bar Stool Cream They come in a whole host of styles from the minimalist, with just a circular seat adorning the central column, to the luxurious and upmarket featuring wooden backrests or accents for superb visual impact. Faux leather and real leather occupy one end of the spectrum, with a soft, tactile surface and beautiful grain above high density foam padding, whilst at the other end you can find moulded ABS resin for retro, high gloss forms and also acrylic transparent bar stools, giving breath-taking seats that can be found in a number of funky translucent shades. For a more classic style there are a series of four legged items, crafted with chrome plated tubular steel in eye-catching American diner stool designs, or expertly fashioned from solid wood, resulting in fabulous fixed height items geared specifically for a bar environment or as an accompaniment to a coffee table, PC unit or even a child’s desk. Many kitchen stools are, however, built on a fluted circular base. This gives high levels of stability on any surface as well as helping to keep your floors in pristine condition thanks to the integrated floor guard beneath, a rubberised ring that skirts the underside of the base. They can vary in size, but with gas lift bar stools, the base is usually around the 40cm diameter mark, and so actually tends to takes up less space than with traditional dining chairs or four legged stools. And as most of our round stools have seats which are of a smaller diameter than the base itself, the whole unit occupies only the same overall footprint as the base, indicating clearly how much space is required and allowing you to place such items in any setting with confidence. Another advantage of having a circular seat is that there are no trailing edges or protrusions that you can knock into accidentally, nor get caught on the edges of tables or other furniture, helping in the maintenance of these items and ensuring they are ideal for even the smallest and most restrictive of locations. As another added bonus, many round stools are actually backless and help to create a sleek and uniform look. As the seat can be used in any orientation, it makes no odds as to which direction you approach it from or which way you are sitting; you can simply slide onto the seat for easy access and then rotate to face the bar or counter, perfect for any social setting and allowing you to converse easily with your friends, family or other guests to your home. Whether you’re looking for a satisfyingly smooth round model, or an edgier angular design, we have a bar stool to suit every interior. To get started, take a look at all of our great bar stools.

Benefits of Leather Dining Chairs
When it comes to interior design, there are many benefits of leather dining chairs. After centuries of furnishing homes with plain wooden furniture, leather has revitalised the interior industry, paving the way for a modern style of chair that’s proven immensely popular. There are three types available – real, faux and bonded – each with their own benefits and host of stylish attributes. This article will talk you through the advantages of each in turn, helping you to make the right purchase for you. Carlo Oak Chair Brown Leather Real Leather Want to make a statement? Choose from our range of genuine real leather dining chairs for a touch of class, their distinct aroma infusing your surroundings with that luxury, designer feel. Often purchased by those with a little more to spend, they deliver a lavish dining experience and premium look that will not disappoint. A natural material with its own set of exclusive features, real leather products have a beautifully unique look, as no two animal hides are exactly the same. Resilient to cracking, peeling or tearing, it’s a highly durable and practical material that’s known for aging well. Becoming softer and more attractive over time, any worn spots simply gain a sleek burnished look, enhancing their character. With pores like skin, it breathes and changes temperature with your body, characteristically warmer than sitting on ABS plastic or wooden finished products. Unlike fabric it does not hold dust, making it resistant to dust mites and fungal attack; a great dust free option for asthma and allergy sufferers. Sun, heat and fire resistant, it also makes for a safer choice than many other soft furnishings. Faux Leather Shopping on a budget? Our faux leather dining chairs are an inexpensive alternative that boast a smoother, more consistent feel for a more uniform look, at a fraction of the price. With an element of stretch, faux is less susceptible to puckering, perfect for rounder styles of chairs. A key feature is that it can be dyed to a rainbow of colours, catering to a broad spectrum of tastes and decors. Lighter shades such as cream, green and lilac induce a calm atmosphere, whereas bolder colours such as red, yellow and orange will pack a visual punch. Low maintenance, scratch and fade resistant, it’s a popular choice with families and business professionals alike. Its water repellent, stain resistant surface means it can easily be wiped clean should any spillages occur, perfect in busy kitchen and dining environments, especially with messy children and pets about. Made from a synthetic material, no animal products are used in production, a great alternative for vegetarians and religions opposed to real leather products. A prime example is the Mustang Chair Antique Brown, an eye-catching design that shows just what faux leather is capable of. Bonded Leather A halfway house between the two, bonded leather draws attributes from each. Made from leftover genuine leather pieces joined together with adhesive and covered in vinyl, it’s a recycled material and “green” choice that’s popular with many of our environmentally aware customers. With its trademark antiqued finish yet budget cost, it is highly sought after. Take a look at the Chicago Oak Dining Chair Cream, a classic design upholstered in sleek cream bonded leather that’s both modern and minimalist. Regardless of the style or size of your home, a leather dining chair is a dependable choice that is well worth investing in, whether you choose genuine, faux or bonded.

Bar Stools for Beauty Salons
The perfect addition to any hair salon, nail bar or beauty parlour are bar stools, offering practical functionality as well as high-end style. Often purchased in multiples, the correct bar stool can bring your business to life and rejuvenate the salon environment. It’s important to remember that the comfortable type of seating you choose for your clients will differ from the more practical models you may prefer for your stylists. Yet whilst differing in purpose, style is crucial for both to ensure your business stands out from the rest. With a wide range of striking styles, shapes and materials on offer - including retro, contemporary, classic and artistic designs - you’re guaranteed to find the ideal bar stool for your salon. Salon Stools for Clients Comfort is key when selecting the correct salon stool for your clients, especially for those longer treatments and styling sessions. Invite clients to sit back and relax by choosing a cushioned seat, high backrest and padded armrests for optimum support. A comfortable, restful session will result in a happy customer, enticing them to come back and recommend friends. Vice versa, a model with minimal support and little padding will leave them dissatisfied, uncomfortable and unlikely to return. A stable, stationary base is also recommended, ensuring your clients remain still for those crucial styling moments. Stools for Stylists, Beauticians and Technicians However it isn’t just your clients that deserve the special treatment. We offer a range of practical and versatile stools perfect for stylists, beauticians and technicians alike. For hair stylists we recommend roller wheels with nylon casters on a 5 spoke base, much like those on an office chair. These allow ultimate mobility and enable you to manoeuvre into the perfect styling position, gliding over any type of floor to grab the essentials from your shelf or storeroom. Plus, many designs are backless for easy accessibility. For stationary beauticians and technicians we recommend non-roller models which value comfort over mobility. Designs such as the Monza, Mint and Lush offer support as well as practicality, the padded backrest providing added comfort for a full days work. Additional Factors Affecting your Choice For clients and stylists alike, choose stools which operate a gas lift mechanism for adjustable height. This will enable you to effortlessly raise and lower the client according to height, allowing you to work with ease. The 360 degree swivel lets you rotate your client; complete accessibility and perfect positioning ensuring you deliver that killer look. Furthermore, swivel capabilities allow you to inspect all angles, including those hard to reach places, whilst maintaining a comfortable position for both client and stylist. Seat material should also be taken in to account. If you’re looking for a touch of luxury, real leather will deliver the unmistakable glamour of many high-end establishments. Transforming the generic into the genteel, sumptuous real leather will single-handedly set you apart from your competitors. Conversely, faux leather stools are an inexpensive alternative that keeps the opulent, premium look. More resilient to stains and harsh chemicals than genuine leather, it can be easily cleaned; simply wipe with a damp cloth should any spillages occur and brush off any residual hair. High-density foam padding in models such as the Padded Crescent, with its accommodating seat and supportive curved backrest, will ensure supreme comfort. We also offer a wide range of ergonomic styles sculpted from stylish ABS, such as the Bamboo and Gloss Coco models. Characterised by their slick sheen's, smart shapes and comely colours, they are expertly shaped to the body for excellent support. For a girlish ambience, choose pastel shades of pinks and creams that exude effeminacy, transforming your salon into a womanly wonderland. However if a more sophisticated, refined look is preferred, black and white are sleek and versatile options, infusing your salon with that designer touch. In addition, ABS resin is extremely hard-wearing, long-lasting and impact resistant, ideal for a fast paced styling environment. Like the seat material, we recommend you choose the frame for your stools based on the overall style of your salon. If a classic look is what you’re after, wood comes in a variety of polished grains from walnut to oak, offering traditional, timeless appeal. For a hard-wearing and low maintenance alternative, select an elegant brushed steel or glossy mirrored chrome finish. Modern and minimalist, both are eye-catching and contemporary, ensuring your business is a cut above the rest.
