Want to change the look and feel of your dining room without the need for a lick of paint? Consider updating your dining chairs. Not only is it a quick and cost-effective way to spruce up space, it’s also a great way to show off your personal style, whether you choose a set of six sophisticated chairs or you go for a mix of several styles.
There are many different factors to consider when searching for the right seating. Here are some helpful pointers:
- Firstly, make sure you get the right size. Measure your table and figure out how wide the chairs need to be to fit under it. Note: avoid buying chairs that are less than 50cm wide, as they won’t be wide enough for you to sit comfortably.
- When settling on the style, think about the overall look you are wanting to achieve – keep the styles fairly similar.
- Lastly, think about comfort. How much will the chairs be used? If the dining room is a space you use every day, you’ll want the very best in comfort.

Add bench seating for comfortable dining and extra storage space
Bench seating or a banquette seat is a clever addition to a kitchen, particularly if you want a table in your design but don’t want to have lots of chairs. Unlike chairs, Harvey Jones’ bench seating has the added benefit of providing extra storage space in a kitchen, too. Under the clever flip-top you can keep children’s games, table place setting or anything else you want to keep out of sight but close at hand. Whether it’s just family, or you’re entertaining in open-plan kitchen design bench seating can help to provide a sociable area for people to gather. It can also helpful in more compact designs as it can help to make better use of space around a family dining table.
