Dining Room Chairs

8 år sedan

Hi, I need two more chairs for my table, but can't find any that match exactly so was thinking about adding two different captains chairs on the end and would like your help.

Do you think I should get 6 new chairs that match?
Two captains chairs? If so, what should they look like, suggestions for color, print and style much appreciated.

We just moved in about 6 months ago and still trying to make my furniture work in this space. Open to all comments, so don't hold back.

Nice space and furniture! I think a couple of head chairs in a style similar to attached photo would work. They are similar to what you have with nailhead trim, and I like the closed back for head chairs. The swoop arms also reflect the style of the green chair and cowhide chair. For colour, maybe a fabric that brings in a bit of the green.

I would get host chairs for the ends as they do not have to match the other chairs. Do you have an accessories color that you are using or is everything neutral?

I have lime green chairs in the adjacent living room, but I'm planning on having them slip covered in a neutral color. So I'm going to say neutral colors. Do you think the captains chairs should be black, brown, white, gray, or a print?

Hi Francesca! Nice place you got. I suggest you create a conversation corner, with two smaller sofas facing each other, or one sofa and two chairs. You can also change position of the sofa to back on to the cupboards if you don't need to face a TV. And then just go for it with colorful rugs, cushions and art! Please post when you have started, look forward to seeing the transformation!

Hej jag förstår ditt problem det är viktigt med färgen för den kan ju förändra ett helt rum, jag skulle veta vilka färger du tänker, du skriver att du vill måla taket med är det i hallen eller hela stora rummet? Har man en färg som ligger nära besläktad med varandra behöver övergången inte bli så dramatisk och vill man ha en markerad övergång kan man sätta en bredare list där precis innan man kommer in i kök/vardagsrum den kan förslagsvis vara i samma kulör som köket eller något som passar övrig inredning. En annan lösning (beroende vilka kulörer du valt) är att måla ”hall 1” i en kulör och ”hall 2” och kök/storarum i en och samma. Då är det bara den lilla snutten vid sovrummet man ser från entrén och hall 1 väggen från andra hållet.

Put the sofa, coffee table and two chairs as a unit with the chairs on the other side of the sofa. Put it either with the sofa dividing the room, or if 4m allows, along the long side with room to walk behind it. Play around with ways to place this unit without having anything against a wall. It should be compressed and preferrably centered in the room. Avoid the sofa against one wall with a tv on the opposite wall at all cost.

I was thinking something like this in a print. Will look good with the solid neutral but less of a contrast, bring some color in and some interest.

Pier 1 has several chairs you might like.

Wondering if you've ever tried centering the picture on its wall with the tray table directly underneath? I see that you've tried to center it with the dining table but it might look better centered on the wall.

Don't think you need to get a whole new set of chairs - two complementing host chairs with arms would looks really great with your set up! Good luck!

Just two chairs. A fun print would be interesting. Or two fabrics mixed like these. Obviously, not this style of chair or these bright fabrics for your neutral room.

I would incorporate beige fabric to tie in with the others, but if you went with black wood and a different shape, it might be interesting. The chair below from RH mimics the shape of your chair backs (comes in other wood tones) and it's important to either have them much higher or the exact height and would stay away from trying to match up too closely or going too far in the other direction. There are a lot of great options at RH (and they are on sale). https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/category/products.jsp?parentCatId=cat1840042&categoryId=cat280016&sale=false

Hi Leelee, the tray table isn't staying as there isn't enough room. The bump out is actually part of the dining room wall. I tried centering the picture in the space in between, but it just looks off. I like symmetry and this space is anything but symmetrical:-(

I am curious how often you seat six at this table? I think it will look very crowded on a daily basis with six chairs. I would vote to have four chairs on a daily basis, oriented two across from each other, leaving the ends empty. (I have this in my dining room and it really helps make the space look bigger.)

I would then consider getting two chairs that can be usefully placed in other areas of your home and brought to the table when you have six for dinner. I would go with a neutral color similar to what you already have, that way they can be used anywhere.

Maureen, I like the chairs, but I'm thinking they might be more traditional than I want to go. I would rather go to the modern side if possible.

If you like modern, adding in some leather or even a leather chair may work and you could stain the legs to match your others. I had another idea...what about a bench or a sette with the 4 chairs you have?

Those chairs are likely in the lobby, and slipcovered - but you will be able to sit in them, which is essential! Let me know which EA you go to - I might have a designer to intro you to!

Do you think these chairs will work even though the fabric isn't the same but may be close?

When you do a different style of chair for a host chair, it's better to contrast, rather than use something that's close- but not quite... That way it's a purposeful choice, rather than what can look like an after thought.
