Chairs for my dining room table?

10 years ago

I like so many options for my chairs that I could use some help. All the current furniture is being replaced, attached is a picture of my new table that is on its way! I don't have a rug, and am not 100% sure If I am getting one or not, If I go with a bolder chair I may not.

    Check out Pier 1 for some great looking dining chairs.

  • 10 years ago

    I like the first one. Are you going with plainer chairs for each side?

  • 10 years ago

    I haven't decided n. White all around, pattern all around, or plain side chairs with patterned end chairs!

  • 10 years ago

    I prefer the zebra.

    Number 1 seems to go nice with black table!

    Apparently I can't count. I like the last one. ( I edited my comment above). Not as much worrying about whether they work in your grey room because they aren't grey. The others you have color and pattern issues to worry about.

  • 10 years ago

    With the pattern of your wallpaper, I'd stay with solid colored chairs.

  • 10 years ago

    S mistry, the table is an espresso finish, not stark black but very black. I too was leaning toward the white.... Although I REALLY wanted someone to tell me to go with the zebra so I was happy someone did. :)

    Anna Dee, I have seen that inspiration picture before and love everything about it! I was looking at very elegant chairs similar to this but they were out of my budget. Ps. Do you happen to know where the curtains are from in that picture?

  • 10 years ago

    S Mistry, since you sent me the white ones, let me ask you, are there studs in this? It looks like there is but studs are not mentioned in the description.

    Yes. Click on the link I sent you. The back of chair is pictured too I think

    You are better off with solid chairs and a pattern on the curtains.

    I found these curtains on houzz which are similar to the trellis patterned curtains in the pic I posted above.

    If you live in Canada, I've seen similar chairs available at Home Sense for a very reasonable price.

    Keep your plain solid color drapes. If you want a print, the zebra would work, only I would use plain white upholstered for the side chairs & the zebra only at the head & foot of the table. No more print in the room unless you remove the wallpaper.

    AnnDee can I tell you how much i LOVE these curtains??!


  • 10 years ago

    Susan, I am so in love with these curtains- do they make 96 inch? I love that you mix patterns, I like that look but was advised by some that it is a no no

  • 10 years ago

    of course you can mix patterns!

    Sometimes that's what gives a room interest.

    A large solid coloured piece mixed with small and large prints with a limited colour palette looks smashing.

    See the photo

    The sofa in a solid colour

    Rug has a large pattern print

    Small and medium prints on the curtains and cushions.

    And to to make this room "pop" note the art work over the fireplace.

    Maybe this room decor is not to your style but the concept remains the same

    Hey Kelly I can't keep track of you...how many posts do you have going? Any pick made on the chairs? i will keep checking in...would love to see what you actually end up with...

  • 10 years ago

    a few! Someone suggested that I restart new posts with new topics to get more ideas versus only have 1 thread! I did decide on the Home Depot chairs and ordered them today. We put the light fixture up today and it is beautiful, I love it! A little big for my current table but will be perfect with the new one!

    Hope the size of them isn't skimpy...so it has the impact you are hoping for...can't wait to see them.

  • 10 years ago

    I think I am going to order the Joss and Main console! I am waiting on some Mood Boards to get an idea on how it will work in my space.

  • 10 years ago

    The chairs are on this thread. The very last one, the white tufted chair with nail heads. I thought was a good price and like how they look. Do you like??

  • PRO

    They are very pretty! Do you know how high the backs are? I hope close to 38" so they come up higher than the table...tables are around 30" high so 38" really looks nice.

  • 10 years ago

    Thank you, I think so too! The backs are 36.5", do you think that is good? Here is the link: http://www.homedepot.com/p/PRI-Upholstered-Fabric-Accent-Dining-Chair-in-Cream-DS-2514-900-386/206552035

    What is the height of the chairs you have now? That will give you a good idea how they will look visually...all your inpiration pictures have high back chairs..so just want you to be prepared for them to look short compared to the pictures you like. Maybe use them as side chairs and get 2 very high back host chairs..if they don't seem substantial enough? Just a thought

    Here's another great neutral chair with a high back

    Sandi those are GORGEOUS!


  • 10 years ago

    Home Interiors, the backs measure about 24 inches high (if I measured correctly? I am only measuring chair back, not down to the floor, correct?) I thought about side chairs, I can decide when the chairs get here if I like how they look all the way around or want side chairs.

  • PRO
    10 years ago

    You measure from floor to top of back of chair..that is the measurement they use for all of the seat back details...so if you add to that the seat height your chairs that you have know are around 40-44" high..so the chairs you ordered will be sustancially shorter.

  • PRO
    10 years ago

    The chairs in the above inspiration picture are much higher...around 44" I would think.

  • 10 years ago

    Hi, I just measured and what i have now is 39.5 inches. My new Table is 30 Inches high, what is the general rule with chair height in comparison to the table? Oh boy, I might have to cancel- I didn't look or think of height.

  • 10 years ago

    my current table is 30 inches and now that I am looking the HD chairs will not look significant enough by the table. One big lesson I am learning is how size is even more important then style.

  • 10 years ago

    Will the size be still too short as side chairs if I do tall end chairs, you think?

  • PRO
    10 years ago
    they will be work as side chairs...but still will only be around 4" above table height..if you are OK with it than you can add tall host chairs. no worries we will make it work...because it fits best with budget.
  • 10 years ago

    I actually cancelled them...I really don't want such a short chair. I will hunt again! :)

    What's your budget for chairs?

  • 10 years ago

    I liked the $200 price range, may slightly more if they are perfect

  • PRO
    10 years ago

    I've searched for high back in white and not many options. Hoping someone can find some! There are beige, grey, linen, etc but nothing in pure white (probably because they are harder to keep clean?). Home Decorators and Ballard Designs have custom chairs so check there if something fits within that price point and your style.

  • 10 years ago

    thank you SO much for your efforts! We will find something! :)
