When it comes to your dining room, your table is often the centerpiece, holding not just meals but memories. Whether it’s a family heirloom, a piece handcrafted by you or a loved one, or crafted from lumber from the family property, your table has sentimental value that deserves to be respected. But what happens when your chairs no longer match the charm and style of the table you cherish? The good news is that Canadian-made chairs, with their superior quality and craftsmanship, are the perfect way to complete your dining area.


Loving Your Current Table

Your dining table might be more than just furniture. It could be a family heirloom, passed down through generations, carrying with it stories of the past. Or, perhaps it was handcrafted by you or a loved one, adding a personal touch to your home. Tables made from lumber sourced from family property carry even deeper meaning, reminding you of your roots.

These tables are more than just places to eat—they hold sentimental value. That’s why when choosing chairs, it’s important to select pieces that complement the significance of the table, both in style and function.


When Do You Need New Chairs?

Sometimes, the time comes when you need new chairs. Old chairs, while full of history, may no longer be in their prime. Over time, even the most beloved pieces can suffer from wear and tear. Perhaps your chairs have been broken and repaired multiple times, but it’s clear they’re no longer as comfortable or durable as they once were. Or maybe the style just isn’t cutting it anymore, and they no longer match the aesthetic of your table.

When you start spending more time at the dining table—whether for meals, work, or family gatherings—the comfort of your chairs becomes more important. A uncomfortable style can negatively impact your dining experience, which is why it’s crucial to select chairs that are both comfortable and stylish.

Matching Stain – Or Is Contrast Better?

One common dilemma people face when choosing new chairs is whether to match the stain of their chairs to their existing table. While it’s common to match the color of your chairs to your table, often they don't match exactly. When that happens, it can look like you made a mistake. Not only does choosing a contrast colour keep that from happening, but sometimes contrast can actually enhance the beauty of the whole setup.

  • Black Chairs with a Light Table: This combination creates a bold and striking contrast, making the table stand out while the chairs provide a stylish balance.

  • Dark Brown Chairs with a Lighter Brown Table: A subtle contrast that still keeps the look warm and cohesive while adding visual interest.

  • Darker Chairs with a Lighter Table: Generally, darker chairs tend to work better than lighter ones. They bring a grounded, solid feeling to the space, making the chairs feel more substantial without overwhelming the table.

While matching chairs to your table’s stain is classic, exploring contrast can create a striking and unique look.


Matching Chairs with Table Style

It’s not just the stain you should consider, but also the style of the table. The right chairs will complement the table’s design and enhance the overall look of your dining area.

  • Sleek Modern Table with Blyth Farmhouse Shaker Chairs: If your table has a minimalist, sleek design, pairing it with classic Shaker-style chairs can add simplicity and elegance, creating a refined yet functional dining space.

  • Solid, Heavier Table with Kingston Mission Chairs or Muskoka Ranch Chairs: For those with larger, heavier tables, mission-style or ranch chairs are a great match. They’re sturdy, practical, and their timeless design complements the strength and style of a solid dining table.

  • Round Table with Masonville Mission Chairs: A round table can be paired beautifully with Masonville Mission Chairs, as the symmetrical lines of the chairs perfectly align with the round shape of the table, providing a harmonious and inviting look.

Choosing Chairs for Comfort Along with Style

When choosing chairs, comfort shouldn’t be sacrificed for style, and vice versa. Here are a few design features to look for to ensure that your chairs are both comfortable and attractive:

  • Contour Back: A chair with a contoured back offers better spinal support and promotes good posture, making it perfect for long meals or social gatherings.

  • Deep Seat: For added comfort, deep-seated chairs allow you to relax for longer periods without feeling cramped or uncomfortable.

  • Smooth Fit: A chair that fits smoothly with your table’s design creates a unified look while ensuring comfort. Look for ergonomic designs that provide lasting comfort without compromising the aesthetic.
