You have posted two different kinds of chairs. Do you intend to try and use them both? What is the top of your table? Glass? We need more information.

I added the size of the table in The original post and mentioned that I have these chairs.

Still
Hoping for some suggestions/feedback. Can these chairs work if they’re reupholstered? If not, what do you suggest? Thank you

Thanks Ital. the top is glass I like your suggestions.

I can’t see those chairs working with the pictured table. They live in two seperate worlds and no fabric is going to make the chairs modern looking IMHO.

Mojave Maria. Thank you. What would you suggest? It’s an open space, only 45 sq meters. White kitchen, parquet floors in living dining area. Contemporary sofa in living space with two side chairs.

That table looks contemporary and you say your couch is also so thats what i would look for in a chair, something sleeker and simpler than the ornate upholstered wood ones in your pic. Crate and barrel has some leather covered ones that might look good with your table. unfortunately its a lot easier to say what doesn't work than what does!

Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll have a look at C&B to get some ideas.

I love these green ones

Love them! But then I always gravitate to green. Do you live in Italy? Our dining room chairs were made there.

Yes, we’re in Rome

before you spend hundreds of dollars or euros on new chairs take some fabric you’d love to have in the dining room and lay it over the chair seats and see what you think. Scarves can be good for this.

Actually, the ballon back chairs are lovely as is so I hope you have another spot for them if you can’t make them work in the dining room.

Until last year I lived in Italy for 15 years. The apartments I rented all were furnished in a mix of nonna’s furniture and IKEA. ;)

You see I think you could use a fabric like this

Thanks Ital. good suggestion. I think they’re beautiful but definitely need to find the right spot for them. Maybe custom slip covers would work.

Here’s some great chairs

Pretty! Thanks for the link.

With a modern table on parquet flooring, contemporary-style chairs would look good. As the image shows the black shade of the table, chairs in grey would match it. You can go with your mother-in-law’s antique chairs but check with color matching first. Choose the fabric based on your budget and preference.

Thank you! Color matching meaning match with the sofa kind of thing or to match the metal of the table or…. This is why I changed my mind when I first studied interior design!!
