Dining chairs

Whether you’re entertaining guests or settling into a family meal, your dining room isn’t complete without a set of dining chairs. The addition of luxury dining chairs can help to elevate your dining experience. Not only do quality dining chairs provide comfort, but choosing a stylish set of dining chairs can also help to add an artistic touch to your dining space.

When it comes to choosing the right luxury dining chairs for your dining area, the key is to start with the dining table first and base the number of chairs on the size of your table. Match the size, style and proportion of the chairs to the dining table. Oversized chairs can overwhelm a small table and vice versa.

As a general rule, dining tables that are around 1600mm in length usually sit 4 to 6 chairs. For larger dining tables that are around 1800 to 2000mm in length, you can often comfortably fit 6 to 8 chairs.

If you are tight for space, not having dining chairs at the head of the table is a great way to save room without having to compromise on the style afforded by luxury dining chairs. For a coastal-inspired look, you can add interest and a casual, beach touch by incorporating a bench seat on one side of the dining table and regular dining chairs on the other.

Occasional chairs

Occasional chairs can make a wonderful addition to your living room, bedroom or office space. Available in a range of styles, colours, textures and materials, occasional chairs should be used as an accent piece to add interest while complementing your home.

Position your occasional chair as a centrepiece in the room by placing it by a fireplace, near a large window or in a cosy reading nook. You can also use a pair of occasional chairs to create a balanced and symmetrical look, which is perfect for flanking a sofa or coffee table. Try pairing two occasional chairs with a coffee table or side table to create a comfortable conversation space. Alternatively, a single luxury occasional chair can serve as a statement piece in a bedroom corner or an entryway.

When it comes to choosing the right luxury occasional chairs for your living space, avoid an occasional chair that matches your lounge and instead opt for chairs that are a different colour, shape and texture to your sofa. While you might like to choose a pair of occasional chairs that are the same, the idea is to make sure they stand out from the rest of the furniture in your living room and add interest to your space.

Many people choose to incorporate a rug into their living area to help create a cohesive space. If you’re thinking of adding an occasional chair to your living room, it’s important to position all legs of the chair on your rug. This helps to draw the eyes to your occasional chair, helping it to really pop into your living space.

Armchairs

From occasional chairs to luxury dining chairs, an armchair combines style with comfort and practicality. Available in a range of sizes, armchairs make lavish dining chairs and plush, comfortable occasional chairs.

If you have a large dining table, you may want to consider chairs with armrests so your guests have a place to comfortably rest their elbows as they eat. With that said, it’s important to consider the arm height and whether or not it has room to fit comfortably under your dining table when not in use.

Think about the material used for the legs and how they’ll slide across your flooring. For instance, if your dining chairs have metal legs, you may want to consider the addition of a rug underneath your dining table to protect your floors and define your dining space. Alternatively, you can use felt pads under the chair legs to protect hardwood floors and maintain a luxury feel.

If you’re using an armchair as a focal piece, don’t be afraid to style your occasional chair to add interest. Drape a luxurious throw over the armchair for added texture and warmth. Or, you may prefer to place a chic side table next to the armchair and adorn it with decorative items like a vase, a lamp or a stack of stylish books.
