In open-plan dining areas, mix modern dining armchairs with armless side chairs for a balanced, layered look. Placing armchairs at the head of the table adds a sense of hierarchy and comfort. For a more relaxed setting, consider pairing with a bench on one side to introduce casual contrast.
Neutral-toned chairs allow your table or pendant lighting to shine, while colored or patterned upholstery can anchor the entire space. Textured rugs, natural ceramics, and soft drapery amplify the inviting ambiance these chairs help create.
