How to choose the perfect chairs for your dining room.

You’ve already decided that mid-century modern design speaks to you. Now it’s time to consider a few other factors to ensure that your chairs complete the look and work well in your dining room.

• Dining chairs are a unique opportunity to introduce a pop of color. Choose a bold shade of orange or red, a sophisticated blue or gray hue, a timeless neutral, or contrasting black and white. The color of your mid-century seating can elevate your entire dining space.
• The material of your mid-century modern chairs has an impact on the senses – you will see the textures, patterns, and details, and you will feel the difference when you pull up a chair meal after meal. Upholstered seating offers maximum comfort and an opportunity to introduce colors and patterns. Wood chairs bring a natural, heirloom-quality element to your dining room. Velvet makes a luxe and lavish statement. Rattan provides a light and airy look. Metal marries mid-century modern style with industrial design, offering durability and uniqueness. Leather provides a rich and supple look and feel. The material of your seating will be a frequently-noticed feature.
• Within the mid-century modern design aesthetic, there are a number of dining chair styles. Perhaps a tall back appeals to you for the height and depth it adds to the space. Maybe a tufted design speaks to you for its luxurious and sophisticated appeal. You might prefer the statement-making look of nailheads. Honing in on your artistic side can help you choose the style that works best for you and your dining room.
• Consider the type of chairs you need. Are you completing an outdoor dining area, or will the chairs be used indoors? Do you love the look of arm chairs at the head of the table, or would you prefer to use side chairs instead? Thinking about the environment and the style of your space can guide you toward designs that make an impactful, yet practical statement in your home.
