How to mix and match dining chairs
What’s the secret to how to mix and match dining chairs? It’s making sure that everyone can sit comfortably and enjoy what’s going on at the table. So here are some top tips and inspiration to help you get the right mix for your home.
Comfort for kids, too
It’s good for the whole family when kids can sit comfortably at the table. A junior chair is perfect when they’re too big for a highchair but too short for a regular chair.
Make life better, every day
Think about the amount of time you spend at the table – every day. You should get the comfort you deserve, like with these KRYLBO chairs with their soft padding. They could be the perfect start for your dining chair mix, then you can add other seating if you need to.
Take them out when you need them
Foldable chairs are great when your space is tight or you need extra seating. You can just fold them away when you don’t need them. Many are designed so you can hang them on the wall out of the way. And if you want to boost the comfort level, why not add a chair pad or chair cushion?
Get the right height
With almost all of our swivel chairs, you can adjust them so you sit at the best height for you. They generally have other features, too, that make sitting more comfortable. This STIGBYGEL swivel chair with armrests, for example, has a body-shaped backrest that gives you good support for your lower back.
Always handy to have
Stackable stools are very useful for extra seating. Like foldable chairs, they don’t take up much space when you’re not using them. So it’s easy to keep some in reserve for special occasions or unexpected guests.
Covered in soft comfort
Upholstered chairs give you a softness that makes sitting more comfortable, so it’s easier to stay a little longer at the table. These very affordable ÖSTANÖ chairs are also stackable, so extra ones take up less space when you’re not using them.
Save space, time and effort
Another way to save space is to go for a smaller table that you can extend when you have guests. Like this EKEDALEN table that normally seats four but extends to seat six. Here it’s part of a dining set – that easy, time-saving way to get a table and chairs that match.
