3 weeks ago, we gave you tips for choosing your dining table. Today, we guide you to choose a chair.

Here are the points to take into account to choose your chairs:

Ergonomics?

Comfort remains one of the first criteria not to be overlooked when buying dining chairs. You should feel comfortably installed to share a meal with friends or with your family. Nothing could be more unpleasant than spending 2 hours at the table, badly seated.

Look to choose your chairs:

• The height of the seat: a classic seat must be between 45 and 55 centimeters above the ground.
• The height of the backrest: the higher the backrest, the more comfortable the seat. A high file will also give a more classic and opulent side to your dining room. If on the contrary, you adopt a modern, refined and contemporary style, bet on a low file.
• The armrests: to increase your comfort, opt for chairs with armrests having checked beforehand that the armrests slip perfectly under your table.

The material?

As for the material, you have a wide range: velvet, leather, wood, plastic shell, imitation leather, rattan or fabric … The dining chairs exist today in a multitude of materials which each present advantages and disadvantages inherent in their nature.

Besides the aesthetic side, also think of the use you are going to make of it. Do you have young children who will dirty with their little hands the chairs while eating, a pet maybe who may make its claws?

• Indeed, dining chairs in fabrics, velvet will be very comfortable and will require more maintenance than chairs in plastic shells.
• On the contrary, solid wood, metal, wrought iron chairs for example, rattan are easier to maintain, but sometimes requires a pancake for more comfort.
• The right compromise is the chair in easy and comfortable faux leather.

The style?

What style suits you? What style do you want to give to this room?

In the past, the dining chairs had to be in line with the style of the table. They were often sold together in the form of a package. But should we always match table and chairs?

Nowadays, what is most important is the harmony that will emerge from this room.

The mixture of different styles is today very clearly widespread and recommended. Many magazines or decorative influencers invite us to “mix and match” (the art of mixing patterns, different styles).

Here are some ideas:

• The rustic table of your grandparents with black industrial chairs.
• An ethnic table with Scandinavian colored chairs.
• A contemporary table with vintage chairs.

However, it is good to respect certain rules to make your dining room more daring and especially in your image:

• The harmony of colors between them. You can mix colors either, but these must be completed.
• the harmony of forms (straight, high, rounded, rectangular, etc.),
• The harmony of materials between them: for example wood and metal or metal and leather.
