| Interior designers know that the trick to breaking up the monotony of a chair-filled dining space is to give the room a bit of unpredictable yet complementary seating. I’ve recently been reminded of that after taking on a new (well, antique) dining table and with six chairs. The setting looks nice—very formal and traditional—but it’s missing some oomph. And I know what the solution is (I’ve preached it countless times), but I just have to find the right style chairs or slipcovers to take it to the next level.
To accompany me on this train of thought, consider this furniture setting from Ballard Designs (top left). It’s nice enough, right? But despite the vibrant paint and wall art, it still comes across as a tangle of chairs. Now, consider what this table would look like with the Parsons chair (top right) at either end. Better, yes?
As another option, you could have two upholstered host chairs featuring the same nail heads as your more traditional wood chairs. Here’s a good example (below) from the Better Homes and Gardens Furniture Collection (shown without the nail heads on the guest chairs but I’m sure that’s an option).
The trick to making both looks work—especially in the case of a round table, where the chairs are closer together—is keeping the scale right. You don’t want to have really tall host chairs and really short guest chairs or the whole affair will look like it has chipped teeth.
Now, for something a bit different but equally fun: If you have a more cozy dining space to spruce up, consider something akin to this scenario (below) from Ballard, featuring their Parsons Chairs with the Arlington Leather Settee.
The scale is right, the colors complement, and the whole thing rings of imagination, which definitely adds to the charm of being seated someplace for relaxation—not staid formality. |
