How do you choose the right dining room chairs?
Have you found a beautiful dining table, but there are no chairs? Your dining table and chairs don't have to match! When choosing dining room chairs for your new table, make sure that they match the size and style of your dining table. In this article you can read what you should pay attention to when buying chairs for your dining table.
Size of the dining room chairs
Before you choose dining room chairs, you need to know what dimensions they may be. Measure the dining table from the top to the floor. The distance between the new dining room chairs and the table is 20 to 35 centimeters. The average person will sit most comfortably at the table on a chair that is 43 to 50 centimeters high, measured from the floor to the seat. However, this may vary due to the thickness of the table top and the size of the person.
Width and depth
In addition to choosing the right height, you will have to ensure that the number of chairs you buy actually fit under the table. If this does not fit properly, people will not feel comfortable at the table and both the table and the chairs may be damaged. The dining room chairs must be able to slide under the table without bumping into the table legs. Make sure to leave enough space so that chairs do not touch each other: leave at least two inches of space between each chair.
Arm and back height
Do you choose chairs with armrests? Make sure that these are of the correct size so that the top of the armrests does not hit the bottom of the table top. For the correct back height, choose a chair size with the backrest at least two centimeters higher than the table top.
Style of your interior
The style of the dining room chairs and the table will need to be compatible. Therefore, make sure you purchase chairs that have a common element with the table. This can be a color or a design element of the table and chair legs. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, do you have a very modern, super sleek dining table? Then you can combine it with a set of vintage chairs. Certain combinations seem so outrageous that it just works!
