OK, one is really a bench. But these seating options for a farm table are so spot on, you'll be too busy pulling one up to notice

Who is around the table might be the most important thing, but where they're sitting can be pretty crucial as well. The slightly rustic look of a farm table is a just-right touch of homey charm for any dining space. This breakfast and dining room staple is so versatile that it can be tweaked for any decor by adding the right chairs. From the industrial look of an Emeco chair to the cozy feel of wicker, the seating can completely define the room. Here are a few of our favorite picks.
Dining should be comfortable and cozy. The pillows in these oversize chairs are so inviting, and we're sure that everyone fights over who gets to sit at the banquette.
A splash of color jazzes up a traditional farm table. The industrial lighting adds further interest.
Chairs in a color and style similar to that of the farm table create consistency.
Seating doesn't have to match to look great. We adore the idea of painting mismatched seating one color for a uniform look.
The curves of these Windsor chairs complement the lines of the table. The contrast of the stark white of the kitchen and the warm wood of the table and chairs is wonderful.

Of all the colors that could go with a farm table, we think we like white the best. White chairs against the wood table is a fresh look.
Emeco chairs lend an industrial look that ties in this steel island and the appliances. The farmhouse table is an unexpected punch in a modern room.
We’re partial to using a bench as seating, especially on a wall with a window. The view isn’t obstructed, and the bench holds plenty of hungry diners.

We adore Tolix chairs, especially when they are the touch of black in the room. The color is a fabulous choice when you're looking for contrast but think white is too light.
