Dine in Comfort with Upholstered Dining Chairs

Invite friends and family to enjoy long conversations seated around your table by featuring upholstered dining chairs. Chairs this comfortable and stylish are sure to make the breakfast nook or formal dining area a prized part of your home.

Stylish Dining Chairs for Every Space

When it comes to picking the right dining chairs for your space, it is important to consider the needs of the area. Take a moment to think about how formal or informal the dining space is, as well as how many people typically use the space and the overall design of the table itself. With that information in mind, review the entire collection of chairs available at west elm and consider key features such as:

• Color: Select a color that coordinates with the design of the dining area or choose a bold accent color for a stand-out piece.
• Finishes: Many upholstered dining chairs feature wood elements, such as legs. Choose a finish that coordinates with or complements the rest of the furniture items in the room.
• Amount of Upholstery: Some chairs feature upholstery on the seat only while others showcase the same fabric on the seat and back. Review both styles to see which one most appeals to you.
• Overall Style: The overall style of the chair will help set the tone for the design of the space. Keep things clean and contemporary or opt for a style inspired by mid-century modern design.

Complete the Dining Room Design

Sometimes, the chairs are just a jumping-off point for a fun dining room design. Dining tables, buffets, sideboards, area rugs and wall art are just a few of the pieces you can add to make your eating area look like it jumped off the pages of your favorite home decorating magazine.

Pick one chair design and repeat it around the entire dining table or make things more eclectic by mixing and matching a few different chair designs. Choose a more vibrant pattern for the chairs at the head of the table and keep things classic with a solid fabric chair on the sides. These chairs don't just make a great choice for a dining room, they are also a fun addition to a sitting area or a writing desk. Choose a pairing and place a small side table in the middle to add additional seating in a home office or bedroom.
