Tips to Mixing and Matching Mid Century Modern Dining Chairs

Formal dining spaces with complete dining sets were a must have years ago. Back then, it was the place for everything from family meals to dinner parties. Nowadays, due to the highly sought after open concept plan, combining living room, dining room and kitchen, the needs have changed drastically. The latest hot dining room trend is mixing mid century modern dining chairs! Here are a few tips to get you started...

1. Give Visual Interest to the Host

Not keen on each chair being of a different style? Consider placing emphasis and visual interest on the seats at the end of the dining table. This is where the host sits!Whether it's an entirely different style of chair or just one with different material or upholstery,this change is sure to add a tad of texture and drama to your table while still keeping balance.

2. Pick One Color for Different Chair Styles

Another way to create a curated, relaxed vibe is to find different chair styles in the same color.Here we can see a set of molded plastic chairs, of course the sleek Pyramid Armchair with wooden base is our fave. Doesn't the faux fur throw make it even more statement worthy? Even if there are an array of chair silhouettes around the table, the minimal white color unites them, while creating a casual look.

3. Consider a Bench

Looking to furnish a tiny nook? Go for a bench and a couple of chairs, when in a doubt. Not only will this solution provide flexibility, it’ll also offer an informal, stylish feel. In the eat-in nook above,the informal wood bench is beautifully complemented with the Promenade Side Chairs in vibrant yellow. Don’t these modern chairs with bistro charm breathe exceptionalism to the space? They’ll surely enliven meal time!
