A Simple Rule for Mixing Table & Chair Styles

Hi friends, it just happens I'm helping four clients with kitchen nook spaces,

 and thought I'd pass along my simple rule for mixing table and chair styles to create

 my favorite eclectic look. I love the collected look juxtaposition gives a room. It's 

an easy formula to keep from having that matchy look designers steer clear of. 

 It works for a multitude of styles, and is all about contrast.

#1 ~ Contrasting Style

Choose furniture styles that contrast

French with modern, traditional with coastal, modern with rustic,

industrial with vintage, formal with casual, ornate with clean lines

     #2 ~ Contrasting Shape   

 Choose a table shape that contrasts with the chair shape

Round table with Square high back chairs

Rectangular table with Curved high back chairs

Rectangular table with Detailed chair backs

Round table with Geometric bamboo pattern

#3 ~ Contrasting Color & Texture

Choose colors, finishes and textures that contrast 

Add contrasting color in upholstery or paint,

smooth finish with textured rattan or metal,

distressed finish with lacquered 

  

Super simple ~ start with either your table or chairs and follow the contrast rules.

Here are a few favorite rooms to give you an idea how it works no matter your style.
