Please help!! Need help with dining chairs for live edge table.

4 years ago

Hello, I would really like some advices on what type of chair would look great with my live edge dining table. Would those chair below look good with the table? I am also planning to replace the flooring to white oak if that matters in choosing the chairs.

    IMO no to those chairs with that table but I need a bit more info. How many seats do you need at the table ? I like a very simple chair at that style of table since IMO the live edge is the star. I cannot see arm chairs at that table and for sure not that color of wood. Do you have enough space for seating at the ends? Can we see the rest of your living space ? I would do a nice simple all leather chair.Something like this they come is lots of colors

    This is one of the chairs designed to go with Live Edge tables by the originator of the Live Edge table back in the 1940s.

    Some of these chairs are from Target




    I raised you drapery and replaced the mirror so that the room appears taller & more interesting





    I'd replace the sconces with ones that have a fabric shade to soften the harsh shadows these sconces cast.

    That flooring looks very good. Why do you want to replace it? Spend your money on other things IMHO.

    Leather chairs seem to fit that table. I like the light saddle color that Patricia posted, but any leather would work.

    Unless the flooring is damaged somehow that we can't see, I don't know why you would landfill it to chase the lighter floor trend. There are plenty of people who still have dark wood floors. They're not out of style really. Your table looks great with that floor.

    wow. first off, ighter wood floors are hardly a trend.

    secondly, why do you care if someone wants to chage out their flooring? with all the crap going into landfill (ie masks, gloves, sanitary wipes, and all of the plastic cutterly that has somehow become the norm) do you really think a few hundred sq ft of biodegradeable wood planks is going to hurt anything?

    but you're right, the dark floors work fine w/the table. (but maybe she's thinking about elsewhere)


    you for sure need a rug Mia. (and you light is hung just a tad too high) . you could do a rug along this scale, (but wider) and similar style chairs. add n some plants.


    Unless you like something more along these lines? a bit more transitional/rustic. I like the table decor. you could see about doing a bench. a soft gray/blue rug.


    I gthink the light oak floors look better. bring in some texture, maybe some black




    I'd remove that mirror between the lights and do a killer piece of art, maybe a thin console. That mirror isn't cutting it.








    try something like this


    with some rugs like this


    this would look good w/the dark elements in your room and the light wood floors


    basically this look (but this table is diff) love the wood on the wall too. In fact, these little 'built ins' would look great on the back wall w/some art or a bench in the middle.



    if you must have a mirror, lower it and do a round one (you have too many rectangular items in the room) get a console for below it, add some greenery. and a rug.

    Since you’re replacing the floors to white oak I would use a black chair. Black would compliment the table base but yet let the tabletop be the star of the show. Maybe wait to decide until you get the floors replaced first. Good luck!

    Thank you everyone for your advice and thoughtful inputs!!

    What do you think about 6 of the chairs on the left and 2 of the chairs on the right at the end of the table?
    Thank you!

    The two chairs you just posted don’t work together. One is modern and the other traditional. Since they’re both upholstered, they clash.

    IMO 'host' chairs are not appropriate in a modern setting. All your selections draw your attention away from the live edge table.

    Would clear acrylic chairs be too much of a contrast for you, style wise? They would let you see the edge better!
