Looking for new seating for your living room or kitchen but not sure which one to choose? Designer chairs are essential furnishings for those who want to furnish their home with style while also choosing a product that's practical and comfortable, without sacrificing the typical comfort of living room seating. In this guide, we'll discuss indoor plastic chairs ; increasingly popular decorative solutions for welcoming and functional spaces. Furthermore, plastic chairs are also very trendy this year: let's discover them together!
The choice of chairs for interior spaces is a highly personal one, but it also depends on various factors such as function and space, as well as overall design and aesthetics. Before purchasing any seating for the home , whether it's an armchair or a plastic chair , we need to determine what we need the chair for and the environment in which we'll be placing it .
Do we need chairs to match the dining room or kitchen table, or are we looking for designer seating to furnish our living room or open space? Perhaps we've already purchased a cozy, colorful, faux leather sofa for the living room, and now we're looking for chairs with a sophisticated design that will complement some of the sofa's details, such as the color or finish.
When choosing a chair, consistency in style, as well as in all the other design components, is essential and should never be underestimated. Among the most versatile and customizable chairs on the market are indoor plastic chairs .
Why choose plastic chairs for your home? They're no longer suitable for outdoor spaces. In fact, many designer chairs have always been made of plastic—since the 1960s—or at least hard, durable materials, such as resin, polycarbonate, and polyurethane. This is because they lend the entire structure great solidity and a strong tactile feel. They're not only high-performance materials, but also customizable, allowing for endless configurations. We've also discussed this in our 2024 Buying Guide to Plastic Chairs .
How to find the perfect plastic chair? As mentioned for any type of seating, even when choosing a plastic chair, we must first consider functionality but also the environment in which we will place our chair. Typically, when it comes to interior spaces, we want to buy chairs for three specific areas:
To these, however, we also add the open space , or in any case the living area . Furthermore, chairs are practical and comfortable accessories to place even in the bedroom and we are increasingly seeing practical and compact seats, more specifically low stools , for the bathroom .
Once functionality and environment have been established, we must also consider the available space , another fundamental detail that will be decisive in choosing the design and type of chair.
Let's take an example. If we're choosing plastic chairs to place in the kitchen to match the table, but we have a very small kitchen, then we can opt for folding chairs or even modern stackable chairs . These design solutions are increasingly popular because they're practical and also because they provide stylish seating without sacrificing the comfort and originality of a more sophisticated chair.
The Poket chair by Bontempi is a designer folding chair that's both practical, sturdy, and lightweight. It's also suitable for those with limited space and who need to maximize it. The frame of the Poket folding chair by Bontempi is available in M203 aluminum lacquered steel or G093 chromed steel. The seat and backrest are made of polypropylene, available in the following colors: white Z041 and anthracite Z045. Other unique combinations are also available:
Function, setting, space, but also style and furnishings are important when choosing a chair in general, and plastic indoor chairs in particular, in our case. The style and existing furnishings of a room will help us choose our seat.
In a minimalist setting like a modern living room , it's best to opt for plastic chairs in neutral colors, while in an industrial-style setting like an urban kitchen , a matte black chair is ideal, making a statement. For contemporary or vintage-style spaces , a colored plastic chair is a good choice, or perhaps the more iconic transparent chairs, which look so good with pastel color palettes.
Let's look at 4 indoor PVC chairs for every room in the house.
The Mind stackable chair by Green is formally refined, attractive, and timeless. Mind has a chromed steel frame and an acrylic (plastic) seat available in three different finishes: clear (transparent), glossy white, and glossy orange.

The Koi-Booki chair is made of 100% recyclable injection-molded polypropylene , with extruded aluminum legs and a die-cast aluminum frame. The shell is available in white, sand, orange, black, and blue, paired with a matching painted frame.

If you're looking for an elegant chair with a retro design, this is the solution for you. The Queen 650 chair by Pedrali is made entirely of polycarbonate and is available in both transparent and solid colors .

The Bayo CB2119 chair by Connubia is truly original and allows for a high level of customization .

Suitable for both domestic and contract settings. Also perfect for outdoor use, the Bayo chair is stackable four high . The feet are interchangeable. The most interesting color to try for your open space? Matte Thyme , without a doubt, a fresh and contemporary shade.
Plastic chairs are also easy to clean and maintain. Can indoor plastic chairs be moved outdoors? Always check the manufacturer's instructions, as not all models are suitable for both indoors and outdoors.
The Gio chair is suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces . Fiberglass-reinforced technopolymer frame. Injection-molded using the air molding technique. Available in various colors. Comfortable and stackable.
To properly clean indoor plastic chairs, always use gentle products that won't damage the surface of the plastic or other materials. For a thorough cleaning, we recommend using a soft sponge with water and a gentle detergent to rub the chair to avoid scratches, followed by rinsing the seat with water.
What products should you choose to clean plastic chairs? You can opt for specific products, but you can also opt for natural degreasers or homemade cleaning solutions with baking soda or white vinegar. Regular cleaning, or even simply wiping away dust with a soft cloth, will make your chairs look more beautiful and pristine over time.
