Dining Room Chair Solutions: Mix & Match Ideas
Quirky is the new black. The trend of mix and match has taken the interior design world by storm. Everyone wants their home to be in style. Dining rooms can definitely be called the heart of the house. They are where you share the best moments in the house and they certainly deserve to look the best. We are here to keep you updated with the most awe-inspiring trend and give you the top picks from the market, so let us get started!
- End to end
This is one of our favourite ways of mismatching chairs. There are so many you can work with this design. This approach includes 2 types of chairs. Similar chairs are placed at two ends of the tables and the rest are on the sides. You can go two ways about that as well, either place bigger chairs, with taller headrests and grander design on the ends and smaller chairs with a more subtle design on the sides or vice versa.
- Keep it casual
If you are a fan of tea parties and long brunches, this is the perfect way to design your dining area. A large lounger covering two ends of the table complemented with chairs on the other ends. We suggest using this style especially when you have big windows in the house or an open kitchen. To make it more different you can use different types of chairs to compliment the sofa. Always keep in mind to use shorter chairs to not make the design look abrupt because loungers are generally short.
- Big Brother-style
The big brother style is named so because you have one chair to dominate the setting. A big chair, with smooth upholstery, is suggested. Victorian-era designs look superb in this design. We suggest using solid coloured upholstery for the remaining chair or mahogany wood if you are going for woodwork. This style also is suggested to people who want a formal and elegant dining room in their homes. A monochrome colour combination would look absolutely breath-taking in this design.
- Pattern Magic
Are you one of those people who wants a fun and quirky design then using different kinds of upholstery with fun patterns. The trick to this is to use a plain table and the chairs of the same design, the only variable is the upholstery. Our suggestion is to use pastels and light colours. This creates a very light-hearted and fun dining room. Some patterns you can work with are pastel stripes, polka dots and even a checkerboard pattern.
- A walk-through times
If you are into art and history, we have the perfect dining room design for you. Mix match chairs from different eras. One pair we are a huge fan of is Victorian era furniture and Post-Cold war Furniture, both look extremely sophisticated and give a grand vibe to the dining area. This goes well with houses that have a classic old age theme and a colour palette filled with shades of browns and beige.
- Pop of colour
One of the simplest ways to spice up your dining area is to use chairs with different coloured upholstery. Use bright primary colours and a plain white table and we promise you that your dining area will be the most fun corner of the house.
- 7. Not so different
The ‘not so different’ approach can be used in many ways. The first being using chairs that belong to the same base colour. For example, chairs with different shades of pink complimented by an off white table. Another way to use this approach is using chairs with similar designs like plain managing chairs alongside chairs of the Victorian era with wood carvings. The primary factor of this approach is to use chairs that are not the same but similar to each other in some way.
