Contemporary and Timeless Dining Room Chairs Models

Check out amazing pieces to decorate the social area!

Dining room chairs are essential elements for this room in the house. They must be beautiful, comfortable and able to combine with the other elements that make up the decoration. The environment itself has a very strong social vocation, so you can’t choose any chair model.

The dining room is practically a continuation of the living room, so the chairs should be as cosy as the armchairs and sofas in the main living area. Comfort is a priority, but we cannot forget the aesthetic harmony of design and raw material.

In this dining room, the chairs have different models but value the same colour.

How to choose chairs to decorate the dining room? 

The set of table and chairs should be chosen with the intention of promoting interaction with friends and family during meals. The chairs are responsible for giving a touch of personality to the environment, as they draw more attention than the table. Here are some tips to avoid making mistakes when choosing furniture:

Don’t get stuck on the table model

When choosing chair models, don’t limit yourself to the dining table model. You must note the decoration of the entire environment and practicality.

If the purpose of the decor is to create a sober environment, the suggestion is to opt for a table and chairs with the same type of finish. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a contemporary aesthetic, it’s worth combining different colours and materials in the table and chairs set.

Check dimensions

If you want to save table space and accommodate as many people as possible, the tip is to opt for armless chairs. If the piece of furniture has an arm, it needs to be of adequate height and go under the tabletop.

The height of the chair needs to fit the table. The seat must be neither too high nor too low.

Use different chairs

To get rid of the monotony of the environment, you should use different chairs. When choosing the models, it is important to give preference to pieces of the same height and size, so that everyone will be comfortable at the table.

A tip is to use chairs with different models to decorate the living room, but all in the same colour. Or the opposite: all the pieces of the same model, but with different colours.

Don’t be afraid to mix benches and chairs

Mixing benches and chairs is a strategy to make the most of the space available at the table.

Upholstered chairs are super comfortable, but not always easy to clean and easily damaged. For families with children, the tip is to choose models that are easy to clean, such as those made with acrylic, polystyrene and synthetic straw. If there is a dog or cat in the house, pieces with waterproof fabrics are the most suitable.

Chairs without prominent corners offer more safety in homes with children.
