Tired of chasing the “showroom look”? Don’t let the décor magazines get you down. We’ve created a how-to guide on choosing fabulous dining chairs that work with your lifestyle!
While we love flipping through the pages of luxurious décor magazines, it’s important to realize that the photos you typically see are staged settings—not livable every day rooms.
Have you ever looked at the luxurious dining chairs in the magazines and thought “That wouldn’t last two seconds in my house”? You’re not alone!
Today, it’s all about choosing the right dining chairs for your lifestyle.
Choosing A Dining Chair – Tip #1: Living Single
If there is any time in your life to choose beautiful upholstered dining chairs, it’s now.
If you’re single without any kids, there are no risks of impending stains or major wear and tear to hold you back. In fact, the design opportunities are endless! This is one of the rare times in your life when you can get the showroom look.
The Emma Side Chair in Natural Linen is a beautiful option for the head of your dining table, or if you’re looking to make a statement, for all 4-6 of your chairs.
Modernize your space with beautiful beige.
Beige in the dining room instantly modernizes your space with a touch of luxury you won’t find with any other dining chair.
With its classic Parson’s look, the Emma Side Chair blends well with a multitude of table styles making it easy to switch up your table as your taste evolves.
Your biggest worry? Keeping your eyes on guests who love their red wine!
Choosing A Dining Chair – Tip #2: Tight For Space
If you’re living in a small apartment or condo, the grand dining chairs you see in the magazines might not fit in your confined space. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up on the dining room of your dreams.
Go armless!
There are thousands of sleek and narrow dining chairs that are perfect for apartment-sized dining.
Our top pick is the Kolt Side Chair in Black; a contemporary choice with chromed metal frame, faux leather seat and square tufted pattern.
We love this style because of its welded C-frame shape, making it easy to tuck underneath your dining table while maximizing your space.
Sleek and armless styles are gorgeous in smaller spaces.
It also comes in white and taupe grey to suit various color schemes.
Choosing A Dining Chair – Tip #3: Busy Families
Busy moms with hectic lifestyles don’t have time to worry about juice stains and messy spills; that’s why the Albany Side Chair in Grey works wonders in dining rooms of active families.
The matte finish on the faux leather seat makes cleaning up spills a cinch; just a few simple wipes and you can get back to enjoying your meal the way you were meant to—chaos free.
The plush, button tufted back cushioned seats are kid-approved and comfortable, encouraging more table time and (hopefully!) less tantrums.
Who says busy moms can’t have beautiful things? Not us. These dining chairs are proof that you can still have a luxurious yet livable dining space—even with a few messy eaters on your hands!
A gorgeous easy-to-wipe seat for busy families.
