Help me choose some dining room chairs please!

8 years ago

I have bought a Matthew Hilton for Case Cross dining room table. I now need to find some chairs which aren't too expensive... All the chairs I really like are £150 plus - my budget is under £100, much less if possible.

I am thinking of getting some Eames style DSW chairs which are £50 but I'm not sure I can bring myself too as I'm a sucker for the real thing and they are everywhere now... I don't want anything with fabric (children) but want something reasonably comfy.

My kitchen has a wooden work surface and simple, cream cupboard doors. The house is '50s so a mid century style would work well.

Can anyone come up with any suggestions? Thanks!

Try made.com They have a wonderful selection, several of them would go with your table really really well. They come in pairs for £100-£150, so you're getting two for the price of one !

It really depends on what you want to use the chair for? That will help narrow down your choices. If an upholstered one is a real possibility then may be choosing a textile or printed fabric you really love is the starting point. There are so many chairs to choose from but I have taken to buying old ones and having them refurbed and covered because they are better designed for comfort..height, depth, curved backs.. Problem is that there are so many fabulous textiles available I find it hard to choose. Good luck.

Ok it seems I got cut off due to the smiley face I put! Grr.. Basically what I was saying is that we were thinking about farmhouse/cottage style table (small but extending), but I'm worried that it may be too much.. Also we rushed and bought retro industrial type of lampshades (same for both areas), and also our floor isn't wood colour, but it's white/grey kind of washed wood, so I'm afraid the whole look wouldn't look so good with the white floor! What do I do?? Also my hubby didn't like it as much as I did...and I was so hopeful that we finally got a perfect middle.. Anyway, if I swap something for something maybe that would help..? All I want is a nice and cosy, elegant and sophisticated but also comfy and relaxing home..what a headache :) But thank you so so much for every single idea, this really helps to think!!! Thank you!x

Hi, I love the paint and the bathroom. I think to make a connection between the two spaces is to add some blue accents in the bedroom. Something like this, maybe?

Love the wallpaper, very classical. Is this a patio door opening to the garden? How much natural light does the room get? These factors influence your choice of fabric eg if u get a lot of sun don’t get a silk material as the sun will damage it. If you don’t get a lot of sun go for a fabric that will help bounce light around eg something with a sheen. Get a fabric that doesn’t ‘bunch’ around the door otherwise it will get in the way as you enter and exit and get tatty. Think about the curtain fixings and the space available above the door and window. Think about the headings you like. In terms of colour, cream and beige are neutral colours (but be aware whether they are cool or warm shades) so you could compliment with colours blue-violet, red, cool blue green - if u buy a colour wheel from amazon (very cheap) you will see how best to pair colours. As curtains are expensive, buy these first and then choose accessories like mirrors as black is a statement and you need to be confident the colours will be complementary. The curtain factory in Finchley London used to offer good bargains. Best of luck.

I think the DSW chairs would look great but I agree they seem to be everywhere now so it's hard to justify the price tag for something which isn't very unique (and essentially just plastic). You mentioned mid century. Have you considered auctions/gumtree. You can pick up a set of original mid century chairs very cheaply if you hunt for them. I'm on the look out too for dining chairs and have also found most chairs I like cost £150+.
