Have you finally found the perfect kitchen table and need some dining chairs to go with it? This is a great opportunity to get a little creative—and have a little fun with your space. At least that’s what interior designer Heather Disabella recommends.
“Dining chairs have dual functionality,” she explains. “They’re both providing a comfortable place to sit, but oftentimes they are the one piece in the space that you can make a statement with.” Because dining chairs are a repetitive element, they’re an opportunity to play with color, pattern and shape, she says, for a “curated and unique look.”
Heather emphasizes that the chair influences the entire space and acts as a focal point, so you want something aesthetically pleasing. But it also must be comfortable. After all, “the sign of a good dinner party is that no one wants to leave,” she says.
With that in mind, we set out to find some of the best dining chairs for every space and every budget. Whether you’re searching for a classic wood dining chair, a stylish upholstered chair, or even an outdoor seating option for your patio set, we’ve rounded up customer-favorite picks below.
