Home Decorating Furniture Design Dilemma

use same chairs in Dining Room and Breakfast table??

2 years ago

I love the dining chairs at the dining room table (first 2 pics). I would like to purchase 4 more utilize my breakfast table. As you can see my current breakfast dining chairs do not match the table. Is it design NO NO to have the same chairs in 2 rooms. My breakfast area table is a polished chrome base with glass top. The dining room table is a Lucite base with glass top. the tables are a not the same. When you walk into the house you do not see the dining room table immediately but you would see a portion of the chairs for the breakfast table. I tried to show a picture of my kitchen so that you can see that I’ve have white and silver. I want to keep the chairs on the lighter side. Would love to know your thoughts.

I would at least match styles between the two rooms. Kitchen is traditional while dining is modern. Maybe the same chair in a different color. I really like the dining chairs. The kitchen may look nice with a modern slipcovered chair for an informal look.

My gosh there are TONS of people that have vinyl flooring and are very happy with it. You do realize that 99% of people that go online to write reviews, are those that are unhappy, right? I am very happy with my Armstrong Vivero floor in my kitchen and laundry room. It's exactly what I had hoped it would be. It is the glue-down version (they have matching colors in the click-lock too) because I did not want a floating floor - I was worried about the movement and "clicking" noise that so many have issues with, although I am pretty sure that that issue is related to uneven areas in the floor, and so would be avoided with the correct prep. Also, I have a desk in my kitchen, and a rolling chair. Per the Armstrong warranty, I removed the rollers and replaced them with a felt-bottom slider insert. There have been zero issues.

Your layout is similar to what we're putting together (excerpt below) except that I have a separate, dedicated breakfast room off the kitchen that opens to a wraparound porch with views to the mountains on one end and faces an interior courtyard on the other end. We want to breakfast room to be more intimate than the other eating spaces. We decided that we don't need formal dining beyond what's in the great room. For us, it would be wasted spaced for square footage that we hardly every use. It's still a work in progress to finalize the ceiling heights and window locations, but we're getting closer. I don't think you can do much better that what you have and think it's pretty good. No plans for windows on the kitchen wall behind the stove?

Can I use upholstered chairs in a dining room with Windsor like chairs

Lovely table and chairs!! Why do you want upholstered chairs? The Windsors are great! I think a windsor with a cushion would be a better choice than an upholstered chair.

I like the breakfast room chairs A LOT. You have a lot of glass and chrome, so keep those chairs and possibly change out the breakfast room table to something other than glass.

We chose the same chairs and fabric for our dining room and kitchen table, but the chairs at the kitchen table have the wood pull on the top. This makes them look a little different and you can pull them out without having to touch the fabric. What I like about having them almost the same is, if I need to add a chair to one table or the other to accommodate more people, the chairs look very similar.
