Dining Chair Styles: Our 60 Faves and Where to Buy Them

Given the crazy Covid times we’re living in right now, who can blame you for wanting to dining chair styles online as opposed to shopping for them in-store?

If you’ve been internet trawling like a demon but not found what you’re looking for, I reckon this post is going to be your saviour. As with a lot of the roundup posts I do on this blog, I’ve categorised the dining chairs below into design categories. That way, it makes it a lot easier to identify what will work in your home’s current aesthetic.

And hey, if you’re not sure what your home’s current aesthetic is, seeing your dream chair categorised in this way might help you realise what your home vibe is classified as. I’m all about helping you make your home amazing, and knowing what style you’re working with is the first step in the process.

But if you’re ready to scroll and (potentially) shop, then let’s get into it and find you your dream dining chair styles. Btw, the dining chairs above from Interior Secrets are sublime and are in the Contemporary Luxe mood board further down.

Let’s Start with Affordable Dining Chair Styles

We’re all on a budget right? Some of us want to cut back on the rugs we buy. Some of us cut back on the bedding. Others are happy to go budget on dining chairs. And there’s nothing wrong with cheap and cheerful when it comes to dining chairs.

When you’re looking to buy dining chairs online at this price point, a lot of people assume that you’re not going to get a decent level of comfort. But that’s such an incorrect misconception. It’s also wrong to assume that you’re getting a low-quality item. The beauties in the mood board below are all sturdy, some are plush, others are covered in glorious fabric. What’s not to love?

The worst thing about purchasing dining chairs is that you have to buy more than one. Usually a minimum of four are required and you have to get them all in one hit. So why not try a budget option? I fully support it.

Coastal Boho Dining Chair Styles

I know so, so many of you are obsessed with that soothing, easy-breezy coastal boho style. And I hear you loud and clear; there’s a lot to love about this vibe. It’s very pared back when it comes to colour, but you get to bring in a tonne of interest through texture. It’s such a nice approach to decorating.

It’s safe to say that all of the dining chair styles below are going to give you a great level of detail. Some are decked out in leather, some are made from white timber, others are packed with rattan or wicker moments. All of them are going to give your dining room that special something.

The image above via Temple & Webster is a nice illustration of the fact that you can bring colour into that coastal boho aesthetic. I’m not angry about that rich pop of red at all.

If coastal boho is a little too relaxed a vibe for you, and you’re after something more formal, scroll on as we explore Hamptons Provincial dining chair styles!

Hamptons Provincial Dining Chair Styles

We’ve come to another category I know many of you are going to adore; Hamptons Provincial dining chair styles. This is a vibe I get a lot of clients asking me to execute in their homes, and it’s easy to see why.

There’s a lot of overlap between the Hamptons and Provincial design. Both have a formality to them. Both have some rusticity to them. But both also have a balance of materials (hard and soft) and a nice mix of masculine and feminine elements. There’s also a traditional feel in both looks which a lot of people find themselves drawn to.

While Hamptons embraces more blue tones (and some charcoal greys), Provincial tends to keep it neutral. So the dining chair styles you’ll see below have a little of both.

• Second Row: Ashley Dining Chair | Calais Dining Chair | Louis Chair
• Third Row: Emery Dining Chair | Petite Fleur Dining Chair | Windsor Dining Chair
• Fourth Row: Ashton Side Chair | Rotherham Dining Chair | Espen Dining Chair

Don’t worry, if you’re finding all of the dining chair styles above a little too traditional, we’re about to hit two rather modern categories (my personal favourites). So prepare to swoon over some phenomenal dining chairs.

Contemporary Luxe Dining Chair Styles

We’ve arrived at one of my fave dining chair style categories: contemporary luxe. Give me a modern feel fused with a sense of sophistication and I am yours! I so admire anyone who isn’t afraid to rock bold colour at home, and it’s safe to say that a lot of the chairs in this category give you that sense of design adventure.

From jewel tones to other brights, these chairs deliver a focal point to your space. They feel distinctly eye-catching but not in a garish way. Not only do you get colour, but so many of them feature a gorgeous material like velvet, and they often sport a luxe metallic detail like brass or bronze.

A lot of the chairs below could double as office chairs. If you’re working from home and looking to blend a workspace into your living area, just use the same dining chair as your office chair and you’ve instantly connected the two zones. We call that design cohesion, and it’s not that hard to pull off.

The image above is via Temple & Webster. The chairs can be shopped in the mood board below.

Urban Industrial Dining Chair Styles

Ah, we’ve finally arrived at my fave interior vibe. And I have to admit, I’ve saved the best for last. These dining chair styles are right up my alley. I want every single one of them for my own home. I love the sense of detail and interest in them, I love their striking shape, and I love the materials. Gorgeous leathers, aged metallics, exposed stitching; I’m in dining chair heaven!

These dining chair styles feel more masculine too. They’d feel right at home in a warehouse setting, city apartment, industrial home or bach pad. That’s not to say you couldn’t put them in a home in the ‘burbs. You can make them work in just about any space if you have the right design eye.

The mood board is below for you to review. Hold me back and hide my credit cards! The image above is via Temple & Webster. The chair is in the mood board below (in green).
