Mix and Match...but be aware...

11 years ago

Mixing and matching tables and chairs is a fabulous look and a great way to have different styles create a unique and personal look. Most of us have been warned about being "too matchy, matchy" as eclectic is so in. It also gives you an infinite variety of choices.

Whichever way you decide, it is IMPERATIVE that you make sure the height of the chair seat is appropriate for the table height. I find anywhere from 10"-13" from the seat to the top of the table is comfortable. YOU should see what works for you based on what you now have or any table and chair you sit and and feel comfortable with. I once owned a great set of upholstered Parsons chairs for my Thomasville dining table...unfortunately I felt like "Edith Ann" sitting at the grownups table as did all my guests. I had to supply cushions for people to sit on. I replaced those chairs with our Delfin dining chairs and I made sure the height of the seat was perfect for the table... as you can see, so learn from my mistakes.....
