What is the most comfortable style of dining chair?
If you’re looking for a comfy dining chair, high backed upholstered options are a great choice. A high back provides nice support and soft upholstered fabrics provide a firm yet soft comfort to your seat. You may want extra comfortable dining chairs so choose one with arms for added room to rest and relax. But if you prefer the freedom of a dining chair with no arms, there are plenty of options you’ll surely fall in love with.
Should I choose a dining bench?
Dining benches will help you get the most out of a limited space. Whether you're hosting friends and family regularly and need more seating options or you are upgrading a small dining room, adding a dining bench alongside chairs is a great choice. The bench makes the space less formal and encourages closer interactions. Plus, it can be easily moved out of the way - either underneath the table or against the wall - when the get-together is over.
What colour is best for dining room chairs?
This will depend on your style as your room might suit lighter colours or darker colours. Think about practical issues that come with day-to-day use. If you have a family, you might prefer darker dining room chairs and benches that won't show up mess as much. But if this isn’t a concern, rich and dark colours such as navy or crimson will add a sophisticated look. For a touch of vintage, try dark browns and burgundy or for contemporary designs, choose creams and whites. Don’t forget to complement your new comfy Leekes dining room chairs with a dining table or a dining table and chairs set, for the perfect dining room refresh.
What type of fabric should you use for dining room chairs and benches?
For your dining chair fabrics, go for what matches your style and your needs. A leather effect dining chair is easy to keep clean and will provide a sleek, modern look to your dining room. Upholstered dining chairs with soft velvets are ideal for a chic dining room. Plus, they are also comfy to sit on. We also have a range of seating for different rooms too, such as bar stools which can be added to a kitchen island or a breakfast bar.
Should dining chairs have a high or low back?
This depends on your preference for comfort and your room. If you have quite a small room, lower-backed chairs may take up less room, whereas high-backed chairs can add extra comfort to a larger room. If you need extra support, a high-backed dining chair is always a good idea, and we have a range of them in our Casa collection.
