Help me find complementary Chairs for this table/sidechairs
Hello.. I could use some ideas for end chairs captains chairs for this table set. (bent back cane chairs and the cherry table shown without 2 leaf extensions) I want chairs that are vastly different BUT go with the others. Ike a fabric or something like that
The house is an open floor plan with dining right next to kitchen area. It
will be very coastal modern, but we have some vintage pieces we will retain! I added a pict of the flooring if I can find it and all white kitchen cabinets
(NOTE WE will probably be replacing the legs/table base eventually for something more simple)

Comments (1)Well, I finally found the table I was looking for for the breakfast room described above: It's the Ethan Allen Christopher Tango table and I love it! But now I need chairs and a light fixture. I want something perhaps transitional. I was thinking either upholstered (which my husband wasn't keen on)or a painted wood (black perhaps) because the room has so much wood. Any thoughts? I'd very much appreciate the help! And I also need a new pendant or chandelier, again, something sleek that won't block the views too much. The ceilings in this room are only 8 feet. Thanks again!...See MoreHelp me Find 2 Dining Chairs for the Heads of the Table!
Comments (25)Thanks Sea, you are right the Parson is about 4" taller than the table, i believe the table is 30" and the parsons are 34". I just always thought the chairs at the end of the tables were supposed to be taller, but the ikea option at that price would be very attractive. My girlfriend is flipping out regarding mixing the wood legs with chrome, she thinks it doesnt work, but then again shes not a designer either lol. I guess in terms of making the table look more substantial in the room, it should look more substantial when that chandelier is over it, and when I add a buffet table in the room. So I guess it really isnt an issue. I may check out those ikea chairs soon...See MorePlease help me find chairs/light for dining/breakfast table
Comments (11)Thanks for the feedback, yayagal and walnut creek. I was beginning to get nervous about the black. I don't know if you looked at the Thomas armchair, but that is quite simple. When not in use, I was going to place them in front of the window where the low red/goldish chairs are now. I was getting them in a pretty seafoamish-sage green because all my furniture in the adjoining family room is cream. To go with them, I was thinking of these aimple mission style side chairs, in black, but maybe now to match the table, with the same green upholstery seats. Thoughts, photos? Here is a link that might be useful: Mission chairs...See MoreWant to help me find dining chairs?
Comments (3)Just dug out some pics of the room, which might help. A few things have changed since this pic was taken but the basics are the same. I'll be getting new curtains and maybe a new rug too if I can convince DH. There is now a 5' tall narrow shelf unit to the left of the settee, a "bar" type small table where the floor lamp is (floor lamp is moved closer to the settee), and the stuff on the bookcases is all different now. Hard to tell the orientation from the pics, but the bookcases are directly opposite the settee....See More- PRO2 years ago

I would do parsons chairs. The nice, simple shape goes well with the curves of the bentwood chairs. The height of them will make a nice balance with the heavier table and lower chairs.
Plus, easy to find at many price points and you could do any fabric you like.
Mixing different end chairs is certainly not ”passe” in the design world. Passe is calling them ”master and mistress” chairs.This board just cracks me up sometimes.
One of my fav IG accounts just posted this wonderful heavy table with a mix of low chairs. I don’t think heavy tables have to have big heavy chairs for scale or to look good. Especially in a modern coastal aesthetic.
Anyway, this not the style you’re going for here, just showing an example of a unique and eclectic look in regards to scale and style, like your table and chairs will be. It can be done and look wonderful.
