How to choose the right dining chairs
The most suitable dining chairs should sit well with your table, the available space and how you use your dining room. Consider the height and width of each chair, making sure there is enough room beneath the table and between each seat. Wider upholstered chairs may need more space, while streamlined dining or kitchen chairs can work well around compact tables.
Comfort matters too, particularly if your dining area is used for working, entertaining or long family meals. Look for a supportive back and choose between a wooden seat, cushioned design or fully upholstered chair.
Dining chairs in a range of materials
From solid oak to soft upholstery, the material you choose can shape the look, feel and practicality of your dining area.
Oak dining chairs
Strong and full of natural character, oak dining chairs complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. Choose from natural and rustic finishes, including solid oak chairs and designs with comfortable upholstered seats.
Painted dining chairs are a fresh alternative to natural wood, with versatile finishes that work particularly well in kitchens and more relaxed dining spaces.
Upholstered dining chairs
Upholstered dining chairs can bring extra comfort, colour and texture to your dining room. Explore comfortable fabrics like velvet, suede-look and leather-look, with classic button-back and scroll-back chairs.
How to choose a dining table and chairs
Explore our dining tables in a range of shapes, sizes and materials. Oak dining tables bring natural warmth and character to a room, while glass dining tables can create a lighter, more contemporary look. Choose from fixed and extendable designs, depending on your available space and how many people you’d like to seat.
You can also explore our dining sets, which make it easy to find chairs that complement the size and style of your table. For more flexible seating, pair your chairs with a dining bench. Benches can help you accommodate more people when needed, and tuck neatly beneath certain tables when not in use.
Complete your room with coordinating dining furniture
Bring your dining area together with practical, coordinating dining room furniture.
Sideboards offer useful storage and an additional serving surface, while dressers and display cabinets provide space for tableware. You can also explore larders and other storage furniture to help keep open-plan kitchen and dining spaces organised.
