Swooning over These Dining Chair Designs
We are in desperate need of new dining chairs! We have had our modern Louis XVI dining chairs for many many years. They have been so amazing, and the white faux leather on the chair has worked great with little kids. They are so easy to clean and stay white. But overtime the leather has broken down and the chairs are now fall apart. It’s actually quite embarrassing when we have guests over for dinner. So I’m debating whether to reupholster each chair in a new fabric or pick out new dining chairs. There are so many dining chair designs that I am loving! I have to also think about whether the designs complements our dining room table. Height of the chair seat also plays an important role. Also, I do have a budget I need to stay within. So many considerations to take in when deciding what furniture to replace old furniture. But I thought these chairs were ones that I am considering. I love the upholstered dining chair and woven cane chairs.

Upholstered Dining Chairs: Elegance Meets Comfort
Upholstered dining chairs are one of my favorite because they prioritize comfort without compromising on style. They also bring elegance to the dining room. Fabric options are linen, velvet, leather, or performance textiles that resist stains and wear.
Benefits of Upholstered Chairs:
- Comfortable Seating: The plush padding makes them perfect for long, leisurely dinners.
- Versatile Designs: Available in a variety of fabrics and patterns to complement different interior styles.
- Adds Warmth and Sophistication: Upholstery can create an inviting and refined dining experience.
How to Incorporate Upholstered Chairs:
- For a classic and formal look, opt for tufted, high-back upholstered chairs in neutral tones.
- To add a contemporary edge, choose sleek, armless styles in bold colors or modern prints.
- Mix and match! Use upholstered chairs at the ends of the table and pair them with a different chair style along the sides for an eclectic feel.
Woven Cane Dining Chairs: Coastal Craftsmanship
Woven cane chairs have been making a stylish comeback, adding a touch of vintage charm and natural texture to dining spaces. Featuring a wooden or metal frame with a handwoven cane seat or backrest, these chairs blend traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Living in a coastal New England town, I am drawn to the beauty of these chairs.
Benefits of Woven Cane Chairs:
- Lightweight and Airy: Their open weave design makes them perfect for creating an uncluttered, breathable look.
- Durability and Strength: When properly maintained, cane furniture can last for years.
- Timeless Appeal: Cane chairs work well with a variety of styles, from farmhouse to mid-century modern.
How to Style Woven Cane Chairs:
- Pair woven cane chairs with a wooden dining table for a relaxed, organic feel.
- Combine them with metal accents for a modern-industrial vibe.
- Use them in a coastal or bohemian setting with linen tablecloths, rattan décor, and soft, natural hues.
