The task of purchasing church furniture could include stadium seating for a huge megachurch, finding church chairs for a mid-sized chapel remodel, or even choir seating for a new building project. Sizes may vary, but what always matters is that the décor of a sacred space reflects the church’s degree of formality, tradition, and church culture.
When designing a worship area, it’s important to consider the desired flexibility of the space and the churchgoers themselves. Are hard church pews acceptable, or is the congregation made up of all age groups and looking for comfortable seats with cushions and kneelers (if needed)? Will the sanctuary be used solely for worship services, or will it be used for church or community activity groups as well? For example, stacking chapel chairs are a good idea in a room that’s used both for church services and as a multipurpose room at other times.
Best Hardwood Chapel Chairs
Chapel Seating Options
Most churches have a large, central gathering room (sometimes called a nave, chapel, or sanctuary) where regular worship services are held. In this area, the congregation will gather and sit to listen, sing, and pray. In these rooms, choir chairs are usually placed on a raised platform, facing the audience. Clergy chairs are also on the raised platform.
The church congregation can be seated on traditional hard pews, upholstered seats, or wooden seats. Church pews are the least comfortable of these options and can discourage families with young children and the elderly from attending due to their inherent discomfort.
Stackable Chairs for Other Parts of the Church
Churches also have waiting areas, welcome areas, classrooms, boardrooms, and offices. Some have children’s areas. Stackable wood chairs are ideally suited for all these areas. Hardwood chairs feature the warmth of wood with the comfort and peace of individualized seating space and optional cushions. Stackable faux wood chairs (with metal frames and plush seat cushions) can work well in small meeting areas, offices, and classrooms.
Wooden chapel chairs pair beautifully with church settings. Some worship areas may benefit from solid wood chairs fitted with cushions, while in other places and climates, stackable church chairs with metal frames are preferable because they’re more resistant to moisture and staining. The style, color, and silhouette of the chairs are also considerations, as these are all interior design choices that affect the overall ambiance of a place of worship. Many types of church chairs can look beautiful and offer the seating capacity your house of worship needs.
Selecting the right seating is important for all areas of a house of worship. Holsag makes hardwood chairs that withstand the rigors of church usage. This durability ensures that your investment in church wood seating will last for years to come, providing comfort and support to congregants throughout countless worship services.
