What chairs match this table

8 years ago

Hi,

I have just purchased the below table, and am waiting for delivery. I am trying to decide what chairs to put with the table (I didn't purchase the chairs that the shop suggested - black leather)

My kitchen (yet to be fitted!) will be a light silver grey cabinet, with a dark grey island, floor is a light grey high shine tile. I would like a chair with a fabric seat, sturdy, comfortable etc, and was thinking of something along the lines of these:

But I am looking for some advice - would these chairs go with the table? Is there another style of chair that people would recommend?

Thanks in advance!

How about eames chairs? See below. They come in lots of colours and are fun and stylish as well as comfortable! They do several different versions and they would be a great way of introducing an accent colour!

Hi,

As to the style of chairs, I think that this needs to reflect the kind of mood you are trying to create. Are you wanting a retro geometric or a more fluid traditional feel, for example. I note that you are using all kinds of shades of grey (I can feel a book title arriving!), and would suggest that you go for a contrasting accent colour, which you could introduce via the chair colour. The beauty of grey as a neutral colour is that almost anything will go with it. I would stay away from cream, though. Pick a bright colour that you like and have some fun! Hope this gives you some inspiration. Best of luck!

Need help matching Old Gold dining chairs

Your old gold chair color is a bit hard to match with today's color palettes which usually use a softer gold. Have you thought about taking a blue into the dining room? Blue and gold is a very elegant combination and will compliment the mahogany floor and table. You could look for a stripe or a damask for the drapes or a wallpaper that would incorporate your chosen colors. An oriental rug would be a good way to tie in colors.

My father left me a house in portugal and it has some mahogony furniture although the wardrobes are built in and I cannot remember what kind of wood they are. They look fine. it is quite minimilist and the walls are white which looks good. I was going to buy 2 double beds which were a pine wood frame simple modern design then I thought they would look out of place with the mahogany chest of drawers in one bedroom. The other bedroom only has a small table thing in mahogony which could be removed but I think it would be better to have everything the same not bitty. I have been looking at beds with fabric headboards steel grey or linen and one described as mocha with dark legs. I would like to have something neutral. I love natural wood simple modern design beds but I dont want to get rid of all the beatiful mahagony furniture so I am thinking a neutral colour like linen fabric bed with whte bed linen might look better. I am completely unable to picture it and decide. It is not much to go on but there is an example of mahogony with some of the beds for sale below. I would be very grateful for any suggestions Jill

I love your first choice of chair in the list the legs go perfectly well with the table legs, made for each other! However, just be careful with fabric especially if you have kids about, they mark terribly easily and are hard to keep clean. Maybe you could search around for a grey leather ?

I love all your choices. As I was reading your question I was thinking mine would go. But you haven't picked them as a choice. But they are grey fabric chairs from Atlantic. Mine have arms which was a requirement for me. I think the first one is perfect for that table. And I can recommend Atlantic!

Some great advice there!

I guess I'm trying to create a comfortable elegant feel/mood to the room. It is a child-free house, so I don't have to worry about little hands marking the fabric, but I do take the point on board - will consider darker fabrics.

I do like the eames style chairs, and I will look into them in more detail, although I think I prefer the idea of a soft seat, rather than a hard one.

One of my main concerns was in relation to the style/finish of the chair legs.....I love the legs on the table, so I want a chair that will complement the table. Is there any particular style of chair leg I should avoid? Or finish (wooden leg v chrome leg)?

Karen: I'd be interested to see which chair you went for! Delighted to hear that you're happy with Atlantic

I don't know how to add links but here's a photo from their website. As I said before though the first of your choices looks like it would go perfectly. I needed arms, I must be a bit wobbly on my chair. :-)

I would also as an accent colour with the chairs to avoid too much grey

I love the ski Atlantic chairs and think the style is timeless. You can add a few accent colours in other ways e.g. Bowl of fruit, vase of flowers/plant which don't tie you down
I've not come across Atlantic b4 so will be having a closer look at what else they do
