Dining Room chairs help!

9 years ago
Do I keep the bench or should I add two colored accent chairs? This is a counter height table. Any suggestions please! It's being delivered Monday! I want to add color to it, that's why I'm thinking of getting rid of the bench and adding two different chairs. Not sure what kind tho.

    A bench at a bar table makes no sense at all so get 2 chairs

    Hmmm do I get matching chairs as the set? Or do I go with different chairs? Any pics would help!

    I like the bench. It would be relatively easy and inexpensive to add color by recovering the seat cushions and adding a centerpiece in coordinating colors. What does the room it is going in look like? Can you post a photo? Need to also consider color of floor and surroundings, so it would help to see them.

    That's where the table will be. No rug yet either

    Definitely two chairs in fabric that will compliment your decor.

    Are you sure you want a counter height table? Most people I know who bought them regretted it.

    I have another regular dining room, so this is different for us.

    Are you considering any certain chairs?

    I'm open to anything that would make the table have more color. I did return the bench, the table and chairs come today.

    I'm looking for counter height chairs that will help give color to the table and room. I'll take a pic once I get the table and chairs today. I'm Open to rug suggestions too!!

    I would just make sure chairs are comfortable even if you have to add cushions on the wood ones. I wonder if it will be hard to move chairs if there is a rug? i will wait to see how it looks with the table. Good luck..

    What type of style do you generally gravitate towards? I think a bold pattern would look nice with the dark wood, but it would depend on what your dining area looks like, of course!

    I need to brighten it up. Looks sad and dark.

    What do u guys think? Is this easily transformable? I don't know how I feel about the oak and the table color. Is it clashing?

    Another thing is that it's taller than my kitchen counter. Is that okay?

    It's totally ok if it's taller than your kitchen counter, unless you get a custom table made odds are the heights will be a little different.

    I think the color is fine. Are you committed to keeping the fan with the light? I think a chandelier would help. Since the chairs are higher is it going to be harder to scoot up to the table on a rug? I don't have any experience with that.

    I'm not like it at all

    I don't like it at all. It's going back. It's way too big taking too much space in my eating area. I think we should do a rectangular shape.

    That's too bad. Was the other picture your previous set? Sometimes it is hard to tell until you see it in person.

    That other picture is one of the previous owners of this home. Yeah I'm kinda bummed but like you said it's hard to tell. I rather get rid of it than get stuck with it

    I agree. I have made some terrible mistakes over the years. I actually liked the color. I think the contrast was fine.
