Guide to Buying Dining Chairs
Paramount to every home is the dining room. This is where daily conversation takes place and families can get together. Have you ever worried about having enough places at the table? If so having enough dining chairs is important to start your lively dinner conversations. Finding dining room chairs is easy. But there are a few factors that you should keep in mind which we outlined in a quick guide below.
The defining style element to all dining chairs is the back of the chair. Different styles can provide alternate forms of comfort. Some styles work better with modern designs and others work better for traditionally designed homes. So keep in mind the back of the dining chair style as you look to add to your collection.
Solid back: The most common type of dining chair back is the solid back. No slats or holes, just great support. This style is great for people who like simple designs and comfortable chairs in their dining rooms.
Slat + Ladder back: The slat back chair is adorned top to bottom with holes along the back of the chair. Similarly, the ladder back chair has holes that line the back of the chair from side to side. These chairs tend to offer more breathability. Perfect for areas with hot weather.
Cross back: Want a light chair that still offers good support? The cross back chair is the way to go. Generally, two supports cross the back of the chair like an X to make this chair comfortable to sit in.
Looking to add some features to your chairs? For a more luxurious feel, look for an upholstered chair with plenty of cushion. Upholstered chairs come with different amounts of cushioning so make sure your dining chair has the right amount of firmness for your preferences. Another popular feature you can add are armrests to your chairs. They make it easier to sit back and relax once you are finished with dinner and this design blends well with traditional and rustic designs.
