How to mix and match your dining chairs like a designer
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know that I love decorating with chairs. When selecting seating for your dining room, why limit yourself to just one style when there are so many fabulous chair options to pick from?
Mismatched dining chairs are a great way to add personality to your space while showcasing your love for design. It’s a bit rebellious and delightfully chic.
Mixing and matching chairs can help round out a dining set when you have only one or two of a chair you love. It can also be an intentional way to give loads of character to your kitchen or dining room’s design.
So, how do you mix and match dining chairs like a pro?
1) Don’t be afraid to mix styles. A juxtaposition of antique and modern can be insouciantly elegant. To weave in a unifying element, consider keeping colors or materials consistent while changing up the shapes.
2) Mix high and low design. It’s perfectly okay to pair a fancy designer chair with a flea market find. It shows your ability to appreciate beauty at varying levels of sophistication.
3) Keep the chairs’ height consistent. This helps keep the design visually balanced.
