Dining room chairs in a timeless style

Vintage styling is all the rage at the moment; but rather than going for a wooden chair, consider going for the Komo design that's much more comfortable with its generously sized seat and backrest. It comes with fully customisable colours and finishes to suit every taste. Brighten up your home with warm colours such as red or yellow, or go for a more understated effect with various different neutral and very stylish shades.

Hints and tips for choosing your chairs

When choosing a chair, you need to consider the style, structure and covering, as well as the type and stain of wood if you decide to go for wooden chairs. You also need to consider the shape of the table as well as the type of legs it has, as this will influence your choice in terms of style and practicality.

Choosing mismatched chairs that complement each other

It's very fashionable at the moment to go for mismatched chairs. We recommend selecting different shapes but with an identical wood stain or fabric colour to pull them all together. You may also decided to go for completely mismatched chairs; this can work well as long as the rest of your decor is fairly neutral.

Choosing the right material for your chairs

Whether you go for wooden, velour or synthetic materials for your chairs, your choice will influence the general look and feel of the room. To create a shabby chic look, go for natural materials or fabric coverings that will bring a soft feel to the room and blend in perfectly with the wood used for the table.

Choosing the shape of your chairs to match the shape of the wooden table

For a round wooden table, go for chairs with curved backs to reflect the circular shape of your table and blend in more easily.
