Stühle & Bänke

Choose the right dining room chair based on comfort, durability, and style that complements your table and room. Check that the seat height works with your table – aim for 25-30cm clearance between the seat and the tabletop. Materials like oak offer longevity, while upholstered seats create warmth and softness.

Think about your lifestyle too. Families with young children might prefer easy-to-clean surfaces, while frequent entertainers benefit from comfortable dining chairs that encourage guests to linger.

The best material for dining chairs depends on your lifestyle and how you use your dining space. Oak dining chairs offer exceptional durability and timeless appeal, improving with age and withstanding daily use. Wooden chairs suit both traditional and contemporary interiors, while upholstered seats bring comfort for longer meals.

For dining seats used frequently, easy-to-clean materials work well. Darker oak tones add richness to formal spaces, while lighter woods create a more relaxed feel. Whatever the material, quality craftsmanship ensures your dining chairs stand the test of time.

Choose dining chair styles based on how you use your space. Carver chairs with arms suit table heads, offering extra comfort for lingering. High-back chairs provide support for formal dining, whilst Lloyd Loom and rattan styles bring relaxed appeal to casual spaces.

Upholstered chairs encourage longer conversations, perfect for frequent entertainers. For families, wooden dining chairs withstand daily use and pair beautifully with a dining bench for flexible seating.

Both approaches work beautifully, depending on your style and how formal you want the space to feel. Matching dining chairs create a cohesive, traditional look that suits formal dining rooms. Mixing chairs adds personality and relaxed charm, particularly when combining different styles around the same table. For a balanced mix, keep one unifying element.

Match wood tones across modern dining chairs and traditional styles, or choose contemporary dining chairs in complementary colours. Pairing dining room chairs with a bench creates visual interest whilst maintaining harmony. Confident coordination matters more than exact uniformity.
