A dining table with mismatched chairs is a great way to add personality and creativity to your home. This not only lets you show a unique style and creates a room that is visually interesting. However, there is an art to mix and match to get the most aesthetic look and requires some thoughtful planning.
So, how do you mix and match dining chairs?
How to Mix and Match Dining Chairs
When choosing how to mix and match dining chairs, it is important to make it aesthetically pleasing. There are some other things to take into consideration.
Your mismatched dining chairs should still be comfortable to sit on. When sitting at your dining table you, your family or your guest don't want to be uncomfortable. Make sure that your mix and match dining chairs are ones you want to sit on.
As well as this, your chairs will need to fit your table height and width. You should aim to leave around 10 inches between chairs. You also don't want your chairs to be different heights to sit on, this can lead to people looking up or down at others sitting at the table.
Whilst a dining table with mismatched chairs will be different, you will still want some consistency with them. When choosing your chairs, try to pick an element that is the same throughout them.
Keep the Same Design
Keeping the chairs the same design but different features is a great way to mix and match. It allows you to have consistency in the style whilst having variety and personality to your dining area.
Different Arms
A subtle way to mix and match dining chairs is to have different arms styles. Changing the chairs at the ends of your table to ones with arms you can create an aesthetically pleasing dining table.
You can pair dining chairs with arms, such as the Opus Carver Cream Leather Dining Chair with the Opus Side Cream Leather Dining Chair. This creates a constant look around your dining table whilst still mixing the chair styles.
Different Colours
Different colour dining chairs are a bold way to introduce colour to your dining area. These mismatched dining chairs look best in modern, neutral and white spaces.
Acrylic Chairs are a great way to make a statement in your home. They come in a range of colours as well as clear and silver for a more subtle look. Picking colours that complement each other and your home will add the right pop of colour.
Different Materials
You can mix and match your dining chairs by changing the upholstery used on them. If you are looking to bring more texture into your dining area, this is a great way to do it.
Keep the colours similar with chairs such as Lule Carver Green Leather and Lule Carver Green Velvet. You can add a subtle difference to your dining table with this style of mismatched chairs.
Go for a Different Design
When looking for mismatched dining chairs, you might want to choose different designs. Keeping the colour and other features the same you can still create a consistent look. The difference between the chairs means they can each be unique whilst enhancing the overall aesthetic of your dining area.
The Same Material
Adding mismatched dining chairs with the same material is a great way to create a unique seating area. When buying different chairs, you should make sure that the legs are consistent throughout. A wooden chair leg with a bleck metal one might not create the look you are going for.
Velvet chairs, such as the Belisimo and Lule are all different designs but complement each other well.
The Same Colour
Having the colour of your dining chairs the same lets you bring in different designs, materials and shapes. You can create a unique dining table whilst still keeping it consistent. Keep in mind that different chairs might have different seat height, make sure you check this before you buy.
Combining chairs, such as the Opus Carver Green can add character to your dining table. These mismatched chairs give an aesthetic look but still remain consistent with the shared colour scheme.
