New Dining Room Chair Ideas

Give your dining room set a face lift with new dining chairs!  Keep the table and change out, re-finish, re-upholster your seating.  Get new color, new chicness, get funky and creative! Its amazing how different a dining table can feel with new chairs around it! 


Here are some fun ideas:




Give your dining chairs a makeover.  A new finish and/or reupholstered seat completely changes the table set.  I love this spray painted look!


I love this DIY project!  See all the steps to do it yourself DIY SET-DINING SET MAKEOVER.


Reupholster side seats in one fabric and head chairs in another fabric for a layered look in your dining area!




Modernize your dining area by using leather contemporary chairs like these Zip chairs that feel simple and elegant.




Here are the chairs!


Mix a stained table with painted chairs to add a touch of color to the set.


Use flea market chairs or second hand chairs as side chairs and 2 head chairs that totally look cozy and fun.  

Tip-– make sure your head chair arms fit under the table apron.


This is a beautiful take on a traditional wingback chair from Grandin Road.  It is sure to go with any side chairs you find!


Woven chairs give a casual feel, and creates a wonderful coastal vibe, like the Hamptons or Nantucket!



This is an affordable woven chair option from Pier 1


Eames Eifel chair gives a dining set a retro look.  It comes in many colors and can lend itself to different styled rooms.


Here are the chairs!





Mix up finishes using an X back chair in a light stain around your deep brown finished table.  Goes really well in a traditional setting!


Here are the chairs!


More chairs I love!
