counter stools & dining chairs

4 years ago

Looking to update my kitchen stools and dining chairs( all are either old or broken). Keeping all the same stuff- wondering what colour would be best- (grey, white, or blue) for both the stools and chairs- and what are the rules for open spaces- should the chairs match the stool or should they be different?

    You have a very pretty home.

    i think maybe a grey wood stool with ivory/ white fabric to go with dining area or maybe even a blue fabric to go with some of the blues in your home already. i think either of those would be nice

    Thinking these- but currently my couch and stools are grey which I Like cause it blends the spaces nicely and the white really brightens the space. I thought blue could be nice too in the kitchen stools for a pop but wouldn’t it look weird white dining chairs( either regular parson chairs or tufted?), grey sofa, blue stools?

    You could olay it safe with the white dining stools, but thsie blue ones may work nice too. the wood legs would coordinate nice with your dining table, and the blue is a nice compliment to existing blues.

    but if youre woried about doing blue, you could look for wood like your dining table color with grey upholstery .(?) ) But since you currenrly have grey. matbe a change would be nice. or if you feel like grey works, maybe do a totally different style chair than what you currently have in grey , that way it feels fresher and new, even if its the same color

    sorry, forgot to answer about dining chairs I would keep the dining chairs white though. i like how it looks… bright and elegant i love white dining chairs .

    i have white learher ones myslef .

    Yes I was actually thinking the same thing in terms of size too! Thanks for the warning- I was measuring it out yesterday and it would be too big. Do you like the blue in the kitchen or keep grey or white

    I like white for the dining chairs (just don’t serve speghetti!). Your home is lovely, but lots of neutrals. The only real color I see is the blue clock. I do think blue stools could be a nice addition of a gentle color. I wouldn’t make them too bright. The ones pictured above would probably be good. Just make sure the blue looks good with the clock blue.

    I should have said clock and rug were the only colors I saw.

    Yes white cannot exist without leather upholstery!!! I plan on putting a blue accent chair and in the living room and a navy rug in the dining!

    Another vote for blue counter stools and white dining chairs.

  • 4 years ago

    I have 2 options for navy blue stools: can everyone please send me your thoughts???

  • 4 years ago

    I like the second one i rhink the wood legs would look nice with dining table nearby

  • 4 years ago

    So the stools would be in the kitchen! Here is a photo( different stools but for the look of the blue in the kitchen for the dining table I really like these white/ blue chairs but as mentioned- width can be an issue so the white paper on the ground is the width of the chairs- thoughts?

    Even though the chairs are in your kitchen, i like the idea of having similar wood finishes . thats just me though


    im not understanding your quesrion thoiugh about dining room what white/blue chairs?, i only see the blue kitchen stools

  • 4 years ago

    Yes I like the that idea for flow too. I am not sure they style is available as a chair though. Here are the dining chairs I

    I also found these navy leather stools- wondering if they are too traditional

  • 4 years ago

    The blue leather counter stools would be the kitchen And there are similar white parson chairs for the dining room with the nail heads

  • 4 years ago

    Im not crazy about the blue/ white mixed

    fabric chair. i dont hate them, they are different and pretty, , but when compaeing your options, i like the white dining chairs with nail heads and the blue stools with nail heads paired together.

  • 4 years ago

    I like this latest suggestion - blue nailhead for kitchen and white nailhead for dining. I thought the tufted blue was a little too formal for your kitchen.

  • 4 years ago

    I think so too for both points- love the idea of the chairs, but agreed too formal. I am going for a cozy glam vibe. Chic and glam for style but cozy and practical for a young family with a messy life.

    I think the nailhead options bring just enough and tie together well. Thanks!!!!!!

  • 4 years ago

    i agree and also, i think that if tou wnet with the blue/ white dining chairs, yoy the risk of the blue on the back id the dining chair and blue if kitchen stools not coordinaring well. keep the color fabrics different and ise the nailbeads as the component that ties the 2 together. i think they will look great ! nice choices

  • 4 years ago

    Here are some comfortable stools I found on Amazon. They also have ones with nailheads.

  • 4 years ago

    I saw these online and they are on clearance- would grey blend too much into the walls and please see the blue stools I think I’m decided on

  • 4 years ago

    the grey are nice chairs, but coloreose, i still prefer the white for your space .

    i also prefere the either of the blue stools with the wooden legs the metal lets feel more modern, and i see your home as more transiitional in stlye

    Would you keep the sectional grey? I was thinking a lighter grey with navy accent chairs

  • 4 years ago

    Your changinf uour sectional? imissed that i thought we were talking about dining/ counter stools only

  • 4 years ago

    I was- its not happening right now, but eventually upgrading to a grey leather sectional With a navy accent chair. I want to keep the sofa grey I am 95% sure but tossing the idea out there

  • 4 years ago

  • 4 years ago

    Wow.. such a pretty secrional . good find!!

  • 4 years ago

    So should they match( couch and dining chairs- with the blue bar stools as the accents or is it on that they are all different( white chairs, grey couch, blue stools)?

  • 4 years ago

    I think it is fine they are different you have thiose 3 colors repeating thoughoit your home, and will look pretty

    you can bring blue and white into the LR with grey couch

    bring grey and blue into dining room as you already have

    the kitchen will have the pretty blue stools , i think it will look pretty. your home is already pretty noce job!
