What dining table and chairs to choose?

5 years ago

Hello, I have a kitchen/diner and I have a white gloss kitchen with grey worktops and grey tiled floor, I can’t decide what type of dining table and chairs to get? Any one able to give some ideas/advice please?

Hi,

I would suggest warming up the space using a wooden dinning table. It sounds like you have a minimalist looking kitchen, so a warm wood would look great against the clean lines, white and grey. You could also add white Eames chairs like the ones below to go with the white kitchen units.

This one from Ikea is really nice, I've got the bench in the same wood and looks more expensive than it is: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/tables/dining-tables/skogsta-dining-table-acacia-art-20378807/

Sklum do great Eames chairs and you can even customise the colours!

Hope this helps

I like options 1 and 2. If I'm honest, option 3 just wouldn't seem to do the rest of the space justice to my mind but that's just personal taste. Have you also thought of mixing a different style/period table with eames chairs or even mixing different eames chairs? The images i've found aren't quite what I had in mind but gives you an idea.

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+.

Haven't you "had a poll" featuring the pink chairs before? I guess you might need a different marketing strategy if the polls aren't working......

Yes we laid the new table top on top of our old table but didn’t attach the new legs as we spotted a chip in the table side (packaging was damaged). Unfortunately Mr LTS only took this one photo - what do you think? It was so sunny outside we closed some of the blinds but the sun made the room hazy so I think I need to get the table out again. Typically it isn’t sunny now! My next post will be suggestions for cushions for the sofas!

Rukmini do you have the chairs? Do they withstand kids? ;) Thank you.

If you have kids, we think its is better to go with wooden chairs or even metal, as they won’t stain and scratch as the white plastic shell ones would. You have a nice selection of dining chairs at wayfair.co.uk ;)

I agree with Design Angels Bathrooms, wooden chairs are easy to wipe down and maintain with kids. You could also go for a bench, as kids tend to move around and fidget! Might be better if it is against a wall if you have little ones or stick with chairs.

Rukmini Patel Interiors, a bench is a really nice idea! And you can easily combine chairs and a bench..

What did you go for in the end if you dont mind me asking? We have just had the same kitchen fitted (gloss, grey worktops, floor tiles etc).... I like the idea of wood with eames chairs :)
