An easy, practical guide to choosing dining chairs to match your table

If you’re here, it’s because you’d like to update your dining chairs and you’re not sure where to begin. That’s understandable when there are so many materials, styles and options to take into account. This simple guide will help you choose your dining chairs as well as giving you some tips for matching them with your table.

1. What’s your style?

The first thing to think about is the style you like most. Let us make it easy for you by dividing our chairs into Scandi and modern styles.

Chairs for lovers of Scandinavian style:

Nordic-style seating will add cosiness thanks to the use of wood, and the neutral colours will help you create a sense of spaciousness. If you prefer to keep things simple, a Scandi-style chair is a great choice – it’s versatile and will suit most other elements in your home, and certainly your table. One of our favourites is Nayme. It combines wood and grey to create a very natural, characterful chair.

Chairs for modern design lovers

By choosing a modern chair, you’ll create a more innovative, trend-setting feel in your space. Models like the Suannne or Hest chairs ooze elegance and forward-thinking. Take your pick from the colours available. We suggest mustard and fabrics like corduroy.

2. What are the materials used in your dining room?

Wood is in the spotlight: a highly versatile material that can match and adapt to any space. Remember that you can also pair wood with shades such as grey and white in the case of the Santina chair, or black in the case of Oyaka.

For a wooden table...

If your table is made from wood and you want to break up the uniformity with different materials, choose Amira, a chair with black legs and available in five super versatile and natural colours. If you want to stick with natural colours and fibres, our Tishana chairs are for you.

For a black table…

If your table is black and you like an elegant look, get yourself a velvet chair. The Fabia chair is available in lots of colours and will match a black table perfectly. A great ally as you curate an elegant living room.

3. Bear in mind the size and dimensions of your dining area

It’s very important to measure and study the space carefully. How many chairs will fit? How big is the table? How many of you tend to eat together? Once you have this information, make sure that your chosen chairs will fit the measurements. The dining room is a very important part of our homes, where we spend a lot of time – especially those long, lazy lunches. Space is also very important, because if your dining room is on the small side, you’ll need a very light and minimalist design. On the other hand, if it’s a large room, you can go for a more voluminous chair with armrests.

Now you know what you need to know, it’s time to check out our selection of dining chairs and choose your favourites.
