From choosing the right silhouette to creating a table everyone wants to linger around, discover five ways to make more of your dining space.
1. Choose a chair that sets the tone
Before thinking about colour or fabric, consider the silhouette. A dining chair can instantly influence the atmosphere of a room.
Classic and refined, relaxed and inviting, or sculptural and contemporary, the shape you choose sets the starting point for the entire scheme. Discover our range of dining chairs today.

The dining room is one of the best places to be a little braver with colour. Chairs occupy a relatively small footprint, they can introduce a strong shade or pattern without overwhelming the room.
Alternatively, keep the chairs tonal and let the walls, artwork or table styling provide the colour.
A dining room doesn’t have to look like it came as a complete set.
Mixing silhouettes can create a more relaxed, collected aesthetic, particularly when the chairs share a common thread such as fabric, colour, wood finish or overall scale.
Ultimately, the most successful dining rooms aren’t the ones that follow every design rule. They’re the ones that feel personal. Choose chairs that work with the architecture of your home, the way you entertain and your own sense of style.
We offer a full bespoke service, allowing existing designs to be adjusted to suit aesthetic or practical requirements, or we can make an entirely new design.
