Dining Room Seating for your Lifestyle

When it comes to furnishing and selecting pieces for your dining room, the choices you ultimately end up making will depend entirely on the style and tone you’re going for and what pieces are currently in your space.

What seating you choose is crucial, it can enhance or detract from your and your guest’s dining experience. When choosing seating, the range of options on offer can often be overwhelming. We’ve put together a guide with some of the most common options you’ll see and what each can offer you.

Chairs

Chairs are the classic choice when it comes to seating for the dining room. While the style of your table will usually dictate what kind of chairs you buy, there is still a wide range of options of chairs that you can choose from, each of them with their own unique advantages and drawbacks.

Side chairs and chairs without arms, are the most common type you’ll see. These are simple, classic choices that come in an incredible array of styles and designs. Check out some dining room chairs set of 4 collections to find the perfect chairs for your dining space.

Stools

Stools present a more casual, modern look. They are perfect if your dining room is fitted for a bar table, which is an ideal choice for smaller homes or for young professionals who lead busy, hectic lives.

A simple stool is an elegant, classic choice perfect for homes designed with minimalism in mind. However, there are plenty of more ornate options available for those looking to get a little bit more creative. Choose ones with padded seats, adjustable height, or bright colors to add a bit more luxury and vibrancy to your dining room.

However, the height of stools mean they might not be ideal for the elderly or very young children. Keep this in mind when considering using stools as a dining room seating option.

Benches

Another way to establish a more casual and relaxed atmosphere in your dining room is through the use of bench seating. This can encourage a freer, buffet-style dining experience, while benches also work to create more space and allow you to entertain larger parties.

One major benefit of benches is that they can be easily stored under the table when not in use, freeing up your floor space and reducing clutter in your home. Furthermore, benches are incredibly easy to clean, just wipe a damp cloth over the surface and you’re all set. Finally, benches are the safest option of all dining room seating, they are far less likely to tip over than chairs or stools.

 

The range of choice can be varied however, there are great options best suited for you and your lifestyle. Evaluate your needs and assess the space you’re in before choosing chairs, stools, or benches.
