Modern or classic chairs

The combination of the chairs and the table

If, on the other hand, you want to get away from this type of combination, you can have fun playing with a contrast of materials, or even of styles, such as to highlight the various elements. Here, then, that some discreet chairs could be combined with an imposing table, for a mix that will not go unnoticed. What matters is that in any case the sense of proportion is maintained, even if - for example - you choose an anonymous table among very flashy chairs.

The best coverings

When you are about to buy chairs for the dining room, you must also pay attention to the type of upholstery. The greatest comfort comes from materials such as padded leather or padded fabric, but if you opt for such a solution, you must also take into account the delicacy of the surfaces, even more so in the case of dogs or cats in the house. In order not to take risks, or more simply to not have to worry too much about wear and maintenance, you can choose chairs combined with a normal cushion that will make the seat softer. The cushions turn out to be decorative elements of value and adapt to metal chairs, those in polypropylene and those in wood, especially if in walnut.

The design chairs

If the available budget allows it, why not consider the hypothesis of resorting to design chairs? In this case the only precaution to be adopted is to avoid an excessive effect, perhaps due to the effect of the lights. This is why to prevent this risk, one could think of alternating classic chairs with design proposals. But mixing colors is also a winning idea, especially if you combine different materials. In short, with a good dose of imagination you can let your imagination and creativity run wild.

The backrest and armrests of the chairs

The chairs that are equipped with a high back have an almost solemn and at the same time traditional look, as well as being more comfortable for those who will have to use them. On the other hand, the low backrests are a guarantee of greater contemporaneity. This means that there is no better choice than the other, but you need to understand what you really want and what style you want to give to the dining room. The same argument can be extended to the armrests: they are usually absent in contemporary chairs, but the presence of a couple of seats equipped with armrests is certainly not to be disdained. A mix of different styles and shapes can be the best remedy if you have doubts and don't know what to decide: each person will then decide which chair to use according to their preferences.

The mismatched chairs

One of the hottest trends in recent years is that of mismatched chairs. In fact, if you decide to combine mismatched chairs, you have the opportunity to transform your dining room into an almost unique environment. But what does it mean to choose mismatched chairs? Quite simply, placing chairs of different styles next to each other: design or vintage, in wood or wrought iron, and so on. The resulting aesthetic effect, if you work with sobriety and elegance, is that of a greater liveliness of the interiors, which is given a certain rhythm. Furthermore, the beauty is that you don't have to worry about the chairs you choose, and you can even go to the extreme of putting together indoor chairs with outdoor chairs.

The chairs for children

You should also think about chairs for the little ones, if there are children in the house. For this purpose it may be useful to opt for a lift, so that the children sit together with the adults and do not need a separate table. However, nothing prevents you from using mini chairs and a smaller table, as long as there is enough space in the house.
