Contemporary dining chairs and Mirror
Hello- looking for suggestions on 2 end chairs to go with this table and 4 dining chairs we already own. They are grey leather with dark wood legs. I would like the two end chairs to be a bit taller or have arms but I am open to color and fabric. Also would like a large mirror on the wall - for sizing would you say it “should” be proportionate to the size of the table or the wall?

Need help incorporating contemporary chairs with antique table
Comments (9)I know the table in the link I've included below is not at all like your table, but for some reason as soon as I started reading your post I thought of Shelli's Alamode blog. She seems to pretty much favor more contemporary pieces, but I like how she mixes things up. Check out her dining room and see if that helps you at all. Also, I don't know that you need to tone down the silver of the nailheads, and I've used this product so can't give testimony as to if/how well it would work, but I've noticed people here and on blogs using something called Rub 'N Buff to change hardware colors and such. Oh, and here's her kitchen table in which she's used a dark table with some white slipcovered chairs. Here is a link that might be useful: Alamode blog...See MoreDining chair suggestions to go with new dining table
Comments (6)IMO you need some real color in the space and I would do chairs in a color not nesessarily yellow but definately a color . A robins egg blue would be another choice, have a little fun . BTW the best thing to avoid fading is solar shades the allow the view, keep out the heat and the UV rays....See MoreModern/Contemporary ideas needed for living room & dining area
Comments (11)Your ideabooks don't give much of a clue to your style, but what you've done so far--painting the walls lilac and that dining chair--are not very modern or contemporary. And painting always comes last. There are infinite paint colors, so we match paint to furnishings, not the other way around. That said, what furniture do you need? If you're trying to furnish a living room, can we have photos of all walls of the space with it empty, please? From what little I can see so far, I'd say get rid of the blinds and count on replacing all the light fixtures....See MoreContemporary Lighting for Dining/Entry combo
Comments (9)What you have works. The short wall on the left as you enter the front door -- between entry and dining room -- define the area as two distinctly different spaces. If you're looking for a change, you might consider choosing two different lights - one that hanges lower than the ceiling for the dining room and another that hugs the ceiling for the entry -- but that have metal and glass colors in common....See More

3 years agoThank you all! I wasn’t ready to “showcase” the full room yet - it’s a work in progress- but I think even my unfinished space will help - there are 4 walls in the room 1 is all French doors and windows - two smaller walls I have picked art for. We got the canvas and love them, they are being framed now and should be done Saturday and ready for us to hang! The blue squiggles pic will be on the wall with the window, 2 red/yellow will be on the wall left of the French doors. It’s a smaller wall because it opens to our entryway. Attaching the art here - we got 3 inch white matting and a white border on all. That’s why I was thinking a mirror for the larger wall behind the dining table. Would art on 3 of the 4 walls be a lot? And I thought being reflected across from the French doors/ greenery could be nice? What do you all think ? (Ignore the other fabric and wood chairs in the pic, just using them till we get new ones- only grey leather will be staying in this room)

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoYou're asking someone whose last great room and den were basically brown. LOL. Here is a poorly done look at what it would look like. My thinking was the black/dark metal drum plays nicely off the art behind sofa and the DR chairs. With the light floors/walls and beautiful rug I think it's fine. Pull some of the rug's accent colors into the room with pillows, throw, art, accessories. Add a little bit of brass or matte silver, some textures (drum has some) with wicker and fabric (pillows).
