We've recently put in a new kitchen/diner.

(this is the view from the dining area looking into the kitchen)

The dining area is to the right of the island (kitchen not entirely finished here - don't worry - dangling bit from ceiling will be a ceiling hood!)

I bought a table for the dining room (see photo).

Yes, it is a bit big! But, it "just" fits and it works okay (and it can't be returned, so this is it!) For now, we have the chairs we had in the old dining room. But, everyone, they really don't work. They're way too traditional, the colour of the chairs seems to get lost and overwhelmed in this big, substantive table). Furthermore, they don't go with the island barstools AT ALL. (those are the most modern styled things I've ever purchased as my style to this point has always been pretty classic and traditional. But, I really like those barstools and I like the contrast of their clean edges against the chunkier island).

I am super stuck on what chairs to get now. If this had been a few years ago, I would have gotten some tufted, upholstered chairs, and been done with it. But this kitchen diner is crisp and clean. My husband and I like the idea of mixing in modern and/or Scandinavian pieces with traditional (the bar stools did it for us). Also, although the very inky blue island (which we love) grounds the kitchen, the dining area is awash in White. We could just embrace the White even further and go with White chairs, or....... I could go with something a bit bolder. (Please note, we are not going to paint the walls another colour. They've just been painted this colour, and after all the works we've done in our house, we are exhausted by the thought of painting one more thing). So, if we introduce colour, it will have to be in the chairs.

I've considered loads of options. For example, I adore Wishbone chairs - I've loved them since I can remember. I've considered Black Wishbone chairs with a natural coloured weave seat (no, we can't afford the original ones sadly), or White ones? The granite on the white countertops is black, so maybe that would go together? (My husband thinks the dining room table with the flooring is "too much wood" - so I really think if I go with natural coloured wishbone chairs he will be a tad displeased). I thought that banquette/bench setting on one side of the dining table would be nice, but the prices for a proper upholstered banquette seat that stretches most of the length of the table (210 cm) are astronomical. I don't want to go with just a bench, because I'd like something with a back to it. But if anyone has any clever ideas on that (that don't involve building it ourselves - we're too busy and it would never get done) please let me know!

Or, I could go with blue upholstered chairs? I've seen some by Made, in blue velvet (eek!). They are lush and gorgeous, but maybe too much for this kitchen? Or, I could go with some low backed, Scandi styled grey dining chairs? Or..... perhaps some curvy dark grey upholstered chairs? And, I don't know what colour the legs of the chairs should be. Most of the ones I've seen seem to come in oak, black, or a dark wood. Please please help. I'm spending my life looking at photos and shops and I am none the better for it. I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you!
