The right dining chairs make a table feel finished, and they decide how long everyone lingers over the meal. This collection covers dining room chairs in a wide mix of shapes and finishes: padded and upholstered seats for long dinners, slim wooden frames for small kitchens and statement designs that lift a plain table.

Dining Chairs by Material

• Velvet dining chairs: soft to the touch, with a rich colour that catches the light.
• Faux leather dining chairs: a smooth surface that wipes down easily after family meals.
• Wooden dining chairs: classic frames in oak, pine and painted finishes.
• Upholstered dining chairs: fabric seats and backs for comfort at the table.
• Rattan and woven dining chairs: a natural, textured look for relaxed rooms.

Sets of 2, 4 and 6 Dining Chairs

Buying a set keeps the look consistent. A set of 4 dining chairs matches the most common table size, while a set of 6 dining chairs fits larger tables and benches. A pair of chairs works well at the ends of a table, mixed with a bench along one side.

Colours That Work in a Dining Room

Black dining chairs give crisp contrast against a pale table, and grey dining chairs blend with most walls. Cream and white styles brighten a small room. Green and other deep colours make a bold statement. Check the colour shown in each listing and, if you can, compare it against your table in daylight.

Check the Fit Before You Order

Seat height matters. A typical dining table sits about 75cm high, and a seat about 45cm off the floor leaves comfortable room for legs. Look at the seat width, the back height and whether the chair has arms, since armchairs need more room to slide in. Dimensions are listed on every product page.
