Design, Perfect Pairs

A Perfect Pair: Dining Tables and Chairs

Design
May 19, 2021

In an open concept home, your dining room can be a focal point of the living and entertaining spaces. We love unique dining table and chair combinations, and we wanted to share some of our favorites with you on the blog today! From modern pairings to transitional picks, we’ve got something for everyone and every space. Keep scrolling for our perfect pairings along with tips to keep in mind when shopping for dining tables and chairs!

Tips For Choosing Dining Tables & Chairs

The first thing you’ll want to keep in mind when picking out a dining table and chairs for your space is scale! You want your dining table and chair picks to complement each other, and neither should overpower the other. Take account of measurements if you’re ordering online, especially when it comes to height. You want enough room underneath the dining table for guests to sit comfortably on the chair without hitting the underside of the table. If you opt for a cushioned or upholstered dining chair, take cushion height into account, too!

Next, consider style and color/wood tones. In our projects, we prefer dining tables and chairs that coordinate but don’t match. For example, pair black wood chairs with a light wood table, or slipcovered chairs with a solid wood table. When it comes to style, try to stay in the same general design style for your chairs and table. If your table is more modern, opt for equally modern chairs. If your chairs have mid-century lines, look for a table that echoes those elements.

To make things easy for you, we put together 8 interior designer-approved pairings for you to shop below! Whether you’re looking for a round table or velvet chairs, we think you’ll find something to love in our roundup below. Let’s get into it!
