chair decision help!

7 years ago

Trying to decide what kind of chair to put in this corner of my dining room. The rug is kind of busy so it makes me nervous but for some reason I’m leaning towards a stripe. Thoughts, suggestions?

    Pretty room. The stripe is a cute chair, but do you need one for the corner of a room that already has chairs? And will the chair stand alone or will you add a side table and ottoman to make it a comfy spot for reading and tea?

    Agree with the "no chair" camp. Such a lovely room!

    The room feels kind of empty, with the ceiling so high, I really feel like it needs something. Any suggestions other than a chair?

    It doesn't look "empty" at all from the photos you posted. I would say a lovely tall green plant but with the HVAC vent in that right corner, that probably wouldn't bode so well. Maybe a high quality fake plant or a tall simple metal vase with reeds/canes coming out of it? Truly, though, simple is best.

    I might start by putting some framed art on the walls next to the window on the end of the room. Nothing big, something I really liked.

    That's not the place for an armchair. I'd be inclined to lower the chandelier some and upholster the chair seats in a color from the rug. Then find some interesting small art trios to stack vertically either side of the window.

    Neither. Find an antique or vintage corner chair, but I think I’d try a real plant in a pretty pot first.

    Do you have 2 (or can you purchase) chairs that match your dining furniture? I'd just place two of them in the corners and not add a different chair there.

    No chair needed. Lower the chandlier and center the table under it. I would add drapes to the edges of the window- hung high above the frames. Beautiful room

    No chair. IF you wan additional seating, I would get some more dining room chairs (I see you have an extra on the wall opposite where you want the stripe chair) and put them on either side of the window with some art above. But I would do that only IF you needed additional seating for I think the room is pretty as is.

    Artwork would help. If you are going to use placemats then perhaps get some that have some color, pattern and interest (perhaps some that will compliment the rug). Would also suggest a taller and more organic centerpiece. Good luck!

    No armchair in the room.

    Add a tall floor plant in the corner for the height to fill the space. Place it on a low table / plant stand The one you have is nice, but too short

    The table looks off centered a smidge - in your pics. A tiny bit to the right and center under the light and on the rug. OCD

    ^^^^The easiest way that I've found to center a table under a chandelier is to find the center of the table (mark it with a penny, etc.) and then hang a weighted string from middle of the chandelier and move the table until the string and penny line up.

    No chair. Maybe a potted plant on a stand?

    I agree with everyone else. Framed artwork or a large potted plant. Pretty room!

    If there has to be a chair I think option B would be better and fit better with the "busy rug"

    Neutral side drapes could fill the space without making it crowded or busy
