Selecting a dining table for the home can be tricky business! It's a pretty important purchase and one that's going to serve for years to come. In our family home, it was the place we kids did everything - meals, school work, craft projects & general faffing around! Whether for family dinners or friendly gatherings, a dining table that's functional and sturdy and has a certain timeless quality to it, is a wonderful thing.
So I thought I'd share a few dining table and chair combos with you this week! Ranging from a rustic modern farmhouse table to one of my favorites, the classic tulip table. For families of 4 to a party of 12. A roundup of dining table and chair pairings that complement each other, without being too match-y. Across a range of budgets and styles.
1. table, chair - the classic tulip table
2. table, end chair, side chair (a similar look for less at Target and IKEA here, here & here)
3. table, chair - a sculptural table like this is interesting and keeps it light and airy
4 table (love, love, love this pedestal table at ZGallerie - it's on the pricier side of the scale, but how beautiful is this base!), chairs with a nail head trim
5 table, chair - a fretwork table with pretty peach chairs - feminine chic!
6 This gorgeous cherry wood Ethan Allen table (a steal for $250 on Chairish) with buffalo check chairs
7 A vintage mahogany table with these chairs. Painting them white and reupholstering with a zebra print fabric would look pretty fabulous.
8 Some outdoor inspiration! A white trestle table and all-weather wicker chairs. Inspired by this dreeeaaamy outdoor dining loggia designed by Bunny Williams.
9 table, chair - for a more contemporary feel. A great table at an excellent price.
10 table, chair - simple & stylish
Once you have your table & chairs picked out, there's lotsa ways to accessorize & make the space come alive. A statement chandelier, an interesting rug, some art to set the mood...
For instance, a fun, contemporary dining space like this might be perfect for a city condo. Starting with a tulip table and acrylic chairs. Adding on some soft sheepskin (love it's pairing with the acrylic, like here). This mismatched striped rug is very chic and the starburst chandelier brings in the oomph. I found this "cheers" neon light on Zulily - how cool would it look mounted on a wall in the dining/entertaining area.
