Dining Chairs

From long lazy breakfasts, casual lunches and elegant dinner parties to game nights and working from home, the dining room has become the heart and epicenter of most homes.

While the dining table usually takes priority when selecting your key feature, dining chairs shouldn’t be an afterthought. Here are a few top tips on how to create that perfect gathering spot and a guide to some of our most popular chairs.

1 MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE

Our no.1 tip is to measure and not just eye ball or guess the space you need. Consider how many chairs you’ll have around the table, what will fit and if you’re going for a chair with arm rests – measure the height of these!

A general guide is : 25.5cm of leg space (the space between the seat and the dining table) and 60 cm of width space for each guest, as well as 60cm of space behind to allow your guests to get in and out.

If you’re going for a circular dining table be cautious of squeezing too many seats around it - it will easily look over crowded. Or if you have a large table, ensure you have enough seats. Remember, it’s all about balance.

2 Material Matters

Upholstered chairs are always on trend and can range from luxe and plush velvets to practical, easy to clean fabrics. Consider your family and what works well in your household. Got cats? Opt for more durable chairs with metal, brass or wooden legs. Young children? Think easy to wipe down materials like leathers and washable fabrics. Either way, there are a variety of materials out there to suit your needs.

3 MATCHED-UP OR MIS-MATCHED

Choosing your chair arrangement can help define your style. Mismatched chairs work great with an industrial, vintage or electic dining room table and look.

For smaller spaces, go for benches or dining chairs without arms. However, for something more elegant and easy to manage we recommend to have matching chairs.
