Whether you’re tucking into your routine family meals or entertaining guests for a special occasion, your dining set undoubtedly takes a prize place in your home. Your dining space is your family hub – hosting meal times, morning coffees, work from home sessions, studies and unforgettable moments spent with your nearest and dearest. The right dining set up brings comfort and harmony to the space, especially when you select your family dining chairs with care and consideration. From matching styles, colours, fabrics and finishes, keep reading to explore the different types of dining chairs to consider and what factors to consider when you are shopping for your perfect set.
Consider Your Dining Table
You can’t find your way to your perfect dining chairs without first understanding the scale, style and dimensions of your dining table. Keep in mind that no matter the size of your set up, you want to leave around 60 cm – 65 cm of eating space with an additional 15 cm of elbow space that allows for moving around and getting up between each chair for comfortable dining. This will spare overcrowding and make sure that all of your dining moments are accommodating for everyone around the table. If you are styling a more compact dining table, consider chairs that do not feature arm support for a lighter and more spacious experience.
For height considerations, remember that your chairs should allow for an estimate of 45 cm - 50 cm of space between the seat and the underneath of the surface of your table, so it is important to look at the dimensions of your desired chairs and your dining table before you add to cart. 1825 Interiors stocks a curation of elevated dining sets that do the measuring and space considerations for you – like the Byron 2300 Dining Package with French Cross Chairs in White. Crafted from Elm wood in a timeless finish, this set is the ideal choice for versatile styling that slots seamlessly into so many different design visions. If you want to simplify your interiors and enjoy a one stop shopping experience, then a dining set is the ultimate choice for you.

Whatever your style, texture is one of those amazing interior design secrets that really takes your furniture formations to the next level.
