What color chairs go with kitchen?

6 years ago

We have a glass dinette table that sits right next to the kitchen. The kitchen has red cherry wood cabinets and a counter top of brownish tone. What color chairs would go well with the overall color scheme?

Cpaul, I think that is a harsh response. I'm not an expert at this but IMHO black or tan would look good. I 't think I would attempt to match the wood, something complimentary would be a good idea.

I would not buy anything to match those cabinets. Instead start thinking about how you are going to update that kitchen. Come up with a plan, a budget, and a timeline.

What color of kitchen cabinets go best with hickory floors?

Hickery can be very busy so I think I would go for something that showed very little grain like a maple. maybe forget the glaze. A dark cherry perhaps would be a good contrast with little grain. Dark maple island with maple cabinets. That sounds a little busy too but I'm just throwing things out there.

Since you don't have a style in mind I think you might want to go to your local Home Depot or Lowe's and look at the cabinet samples they have and see what appeals to you as far as style and finish. Bring an extra floor tile and sample of the paint to compare. Also a great place to look at your counter top and backsplash choices too.

The house is a 50s ranch with some MCMness but nothing cool. :) The kitchen itself probably goes a little more midcentury with slab walnut cabinets and gray slate floor, but there's nothing especially atomic about it. Painted wood really wouldn't go, I don't think. A few of the MCM reissues in walnut or cherry might look good enough with everything else to not have to match the chairs but I don't know if I can bring myself to spend $1500-plus for a bar stool. I do want something with a back, which makes it harder. But now that I think about it, if I don't plan on sitting there, it doesn't have to be that comfortable... I almost like this for other people to sit on:

Have you considered a small print with some burgundy, taupe, and maybe black as well if that appears anywhere else in the room? Many prints read as solid from a distance but will add variety and may be more cohesive than a second solid color

Can you include a picture of the table, so we can see the style?

Here is a pic of the table. Ignore the floor and background, as it is now placed in the kitchen on the same tile as the previous photo. Thanks for your insights!

I agree with black chairs or stools--wood or black iron. Even though I wouldn't have picked (today) the darker, red cherry cabinets and busy, tan granite counter, I don't get the impression the homeowner is ready for a complete reno. If I bought a house with that kitchen, though, I'd certainly plan to work with it for some time. We've been in our house for 15 years and are just now looking into a full gut of our kitchen now that the kids are older, and we are empty-nesters. We have a builder-grade,"90's" white kitchen with white appliances and brass hardware and faucet. I chose black, bowback wooden chairs with a warm wood pedestal table because the adjacent family room has deep blue and black for accent colors. It all looks fine for now.

College expenses came first--our son is in his final undergrad year and our daughter is in the middle, so we've had to "live" with our kitchen "as is" until our budget eases up. Maybe that is this homeowner's situation? Or, s/he is young and not yet in a financial position to rip it all out, even though it appears "dated" to some people. Our dated kitchen still produces great meals, regardless, so find some comfortable chairs that complement the current kitchen and tackle some other space that is in greater need of a full remodel.
