What chairs with this table?

Ewa Mc

last modified: 5 years ago

Hey

I‘m getting a table as per picture (white marble worktop and black metal legs). My interior is contemporary/modern - white high gloss kitchen, grey floor tiles, sleet grey bifolds. Wooden interior doors, adjacent livino room has a wooden floor.



Will the chairs in the link go with this dining table? I’m thinking white or light grey colour.

    I think the chairs will work if you have other wood the same colour in that room. The strutts are black so they tie in with the table.

    Here's white with black legs from Fusion Living


    Black with black legs from Cult furniture


    They also do a leather version ( awesome )


    and, although these probably don't fit with what you imagine, they are great, from Lakeland Furniture

      The table is lovely - very industrial glam.
      I’ve had those chairs and paired them with a big wooden table which had wood legs and a grey top.
      However, I’m not sure they would work with that table - thing it’s the legs? Are the wood doors in your house also that pale wood colour?
      If they were black or a stronger colour then it would look better.

      Do you have any other chair options you like?

      Difficult to say without knowing your personality and possible acoustic requirements - when you say music room is it for listening to music or playing instruments or both? would you like to continue with this style or are you more eclectic. What you have chosen is very new, smooth, angular and 'masculine' (not saying that's a bad thing) so would suggest making sure you add some texture (thick carpet or rugs), some 'life' (plants with large rounded leaves, something made of wood) and some colour/pattern (books and interesting items on the shelves - although don't rush to fill them, a couple of large art pieces for the walls, a few cushions - for comfort, not dozens) and remember to add a but of fun that doesn't need to 'co-ordinate' (I love the speakers in orange otherwise I'd go for white). A rich brown suede leather sofa would complement but soften the chair. I would also wait until you have the room ready and if you definitely want these pieces wait until they arrive and see how the space looks and feels for a while before buying anything else. Space changes as you put things into it.

      ... also, i should add a caveat - the kitchen is still being rennovated - as you can clearly see by the fact that we don't have lamp lights above the sink, just wires - that's not the finish ;D (The kitchen pendants above the sink are these ones: https://www.industville.co.uk/products/brooklyn-glass-cone-pendant-light-7-inch?variant=9994088837&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxJqHBhC4ARIsAChq4atiHbRuKl-1YwIt2EIWwK8W3YdupQJD53iIkLCwvJR-gEpO6BbRnZcaAnO6EALw_wcB i.e. holophane style glasss little pendants x3)

      Ps white are harder to keep clean as I found out. Ha ha.

      Would either go black seats and paint the wood legs white or pale grey(or stain to match your doors)

      Or white chairs and paint the legs etc.
      Ie that’s if you can’t afford the metal leg versions or all black leg versions as I know the link to the chairs had cheap ones. The others I think are more expensive but less work if you need to alter them.

      Hi everyone. I’m sorry for not responding. I’d like to send a picture of the actual dining area and send to the forum, you might just have to excuse the clutter :-). We’ve got wooden doors and adjacent to the dining room we have a living room with wooden floor. Hence I thought the chairs might work in harmony with the rest of the interior :-).


      re the colour - white is my fav but I have exactly the same concern - prone to be dirty/get scratches etc If white.


      let me take a pic and send shortly

      I do apologise for a mess, tidying it up now :) But I hope this gives you a sense of colours/wood proportions etc. Where the mess is, there will be a table. Any further tips/advice? :)


      The last picture is a view from the kitchen area to the dining area. The first two pictures show you the dining area from two different angles as well as the living room floor/door :)

      On my screen the white chair looks cream so I wouldn't put it with the table and I probably wouldn't introduce more grey. What's your budget per chair?

      that clutter is excusable btw :)

    • Ewa Mc

      thank you :) def no cream chairs :-) good you confirmed that’s it’s not a good idea :)

      budget...I guess up to 70-80 per chair or cheaper if I accept that they might need changing in a few years and might get damaged. what do you think about the white one (or different colour) from the link I posted or other people suggested?


      thank uou

    • minnie101

      In terms of the other colours on the link you posted they seem either too bright or grey! The teal would be my favourite but I think you'd really need to warm the room up with maybe wood bowl, belly basket etc. I like the one Hugh posted attached as last pic and the one I've added is also cult furniture for the same price. I think leather would really warm it and obviously works so well with an industrial look, they also look a bit more comfortable :)

      I wouldn't go with more grey, I think having seen your room, that the white with the wooden legs will look really nice and break it up a bit. Not the most perfect work in the world, but you get the idea:-


      Also, i found those chairs on sale at :- Sklum for just £ 18.98 each, BARGAIN !

      wow! My husbands jaw has dropped when he saw all your ideas AND the visuals. You are inspirational! Once I clear the mess in the dining area, I will have to do a similar exercise with the visuals As it really helps to “Stress test” different colours and Styles.


      I like the idea of teal or white chairs...and the plant in the basket in the corner!!!:-)

      Apart from Lakeland shop, do you know any other shops with Eames replicas worth looking at? Perhaps padded? Any recommendations will be appreciated :-)

    • minnie101
      5 years ago

      I don't have any so couldn't say :( the white of the ones Hugh posted from Sklum appears to work better though?

    • Ewa Mc

      I’ve seen Sklum many times on google but I must admit I’ve never used this shop - is it reputable? I will check out the link as indeed it sounds like a bargain :-)

      I bought my Eames rocker off Cult furniture about 4-5 years ago and I’ve had no issues with the quality. It did arrive with a mark on the wood rockers but they replaced them free of charge so good customer service too.

      Ok folks, update :-) here is the table from different angles and I also include pics of the kitchen to show you how much grey/white there is... any more ideas regarding the chairs? I fear white will be too much (yet it was my first preference). Teal is on my mind... not sure thougH, any thoughts?

      I definitely would like to add lots of floor plants,t I think by the bifold doors on both sides potentially . It might help with the vision ;-)

    • minnie101
      4 years ago

      I agree, it could be too much white. I've just seen your other post. Have you decided on a splashback yet?

      just wondering what you thought of a rattan chair and will see I find I can find some in budget? I do like the teal one as I said before but obviously grey, white and teal is a cold colour combination so would definitely need to add things to warm it up

      The room is looking good though and I think adding the plants would look fab



    • Ewa Mc

      I just showed it to my husband, he’s not that keen on rattan, however, I’m still open to suggestions with rattan (if I make a mock up it might be better to visualise ;)) or any other warm colour? Perhaps I should match chairs and splashback?:)

      One of my favourite pics. Although tables are different, the colour scheme is similar to yours I think.

      A colourful London home · More Info


      White chairs can always be covered with sheep skin rugs, they come in different colours and would add another dimension to the space with a restricted colour palette.

      I ended up owning about five or more sheep skin rugs as we use them throughout the house. They are very comfy and last forever!

      Oh ok! So I can't photoshop and nor could I shrink the art to the size I wanted (!) but how about adding a gallery wall between the lights to add a bit of colour? If you went with the teal chairs you could consider some/all the frames in wood for more warmth and maybe an artisan wooden bowl on the table? Were you thinking tiles or glass etc for splashback?

      What about a bench and a couple of chairs?
    • Danielle H

      How about Kartell Masters chairs (or a copy of them)? Available in lots of colours and also look great with a sheepskin as mentioned above. I got mine off eBay, around £100 for 4 but mine are for very occasional use. Probably not the best quality you can get but there are varying levels. They are also stackable, your table looks like it’s able to extend? Handy for when you don’t need the extra chairs.

      If you like the Eames style chairs try Amazon, less expensive(£30 or cheaper) great value and a range of colours to choose from.

      I was also going to suggest kartell masters but you beat me to it. I think they'd look great.

      Hey all

      Thanks again for your time and all your suggestions :-) you are amazing and very resourceful.

      I’ve ordered two DSW Eames chairs as couldn’t decide on the colour! What do you think?






      What do you think?

      Thanks

      it (teal) does look like on your mock up Minnie :)

    • minnie101
      4 years ago

      The colour does, I'm not sure my mock up of the chairs behind the table were quite that successful :)

      The shop has run out of teal chairs (due delivery end in July!);(.

      they have one more chair left... what do you think about a combination of combining three colours? (there are four in the picture below but I would go for light rather than dark grey)


      i wish I could make it all teal and I can’t find anything else online (SKLUM offers the same or similar chairs but I know little about them)




    • Ewa Mc

      I owe you an update! As the other company ran out of the teal chairs and we would have had to wait for far too long, we decided to go for chairs from Dwell... we like them a lot too :)

      I came across a product recently at the Clerkenwell Design Week, which I thought was rather fun, especially as it is 100% recycled material, made in the UK, has a multitude of colour options, comes with a 20 year warranty and can be recycled at the end of its usefulness.

      Have a look at http://www.kieurope.com/Postura/

      It was developed for the education market, but is surprisingly comfortable to sit on.

      I would go for teal, cognac or russet. I love Minnie's suggestions.
