Please help me finish dining room

5 years ago

Please help me stop agonizing and finish this room! Chairs are my top priority followed by artwork & accessories. The Rest Hardware Cabrera table has a cement like finish in charcoal and gray. RH staged this table with canvas skirted parson chairs which isn’t our style with the new textured snakelike wallpaper. What color and style chair would you use? My husband is 6’5” so a delicate chair won’t work and nothing else at RH caught our eye. You can’t offend us so please be honest THANKS!!

your style seems to be a bit modern and a bit traditional, table and wallpaper more modern, the console more traditional and so thought would combine them.

Given your husband's height, you may see something you like here. They seem to have a good selection.

So as not to fight with the groovy snakelike wallpaper, I'd go with a plain parson's chair so other simple upholstered chair with plain back and legs. Either black or light grey for contrast OR, a bright, bright color. Frankly I'd go with fushia like the color of the orchid or red or teal. But that's me, I am a busy lizzie when it comes to rooms. If you're going for all one color, different tones, either lighter or darker than the wallpaper and table, or the chairs will bleed into the background and not look all that inviting.

You'll need to check any chairs for seat height to be sure they work with such a thick table.

how about something modern like a ghost chair but in a traditional style for the side chairs and then wing back chairs for the head.

@aehgn1 Thank you for your post; I am receiving my furniture a month earlier because of you. Our furniture was supposed to arrive at the beginning of November, and we got a call this week saying it wouldn't be here till the middle of December, and we move in this weekend. I called shipping (not our sales associate) 80% was sitting in their warehouse, so they shipped it to CA, and we will get a call tomorrow or Monday and get it in time for Thanksgiving. If your furniture is delayed, my recommendation is to scroll to the bottom of the Arhaus web page and call the shipping department.
