Mix it up

The problem with most dining suites…is the suite factor!   If you have a 6 – 8 setting,  then you have 6 – 8 of exactly the same thing grouped in one spot.  I’ve mentioned how much multiple chair legs do my head in..but the sameness of dining chairs is also pretty boring.

Vinatge wooden chairs really lend themselves to the mix look.  Painting up a set of wooden chairs in different fun colours really makes an impact.

Or.. have different style chairs, but paint them all the same colour.  I love this approach.

Covering dining chairs in a mix of fun fabrics is another way of avoiding blandness…

Having a variety of chairs around your table doesn’t have to be a full on vintage look.  Having fun with a real diversity of retro chairs looks amazing and doesn’t take you down the shabby chic route.

Love this grouping.

Having one bright, statement Eames chair always revs up a mix.

Or… if you want variety in colour, not style… then try a group of all Eames chairs, but in different colours. 

See www.mattblatt.com.au for coloured Eames replicas from $69.00.
