Our collection of contemporary modern dining chairs blends comfort and design, offering a selection that’s easy to pair with modern or traditional tables.

Each piece is handpicked for its durability, comfort and timeless appeal, making it easy to create a dining space that feels considered and cohesive.

What makes a good dining chair?

A good dining chair offers balanced comfort, support, and durability, with an ergonomic backrest and sturdy legs that align with the height of your table. High-quality materials like solid wood, metal, or upholstered finishes also ensure long-term use and style versatility.

What are the trends for dining chairs in 2025?

Dining chair trends for 2025 include curved silhouettes, bold textured fabrics like bouclé or velvet, and mixed-material frames such as wood paired with metal or rattan. Earthy tones (terracotta, moss green) and sculptural, mid-century modern shapes are also making a strong comeback in contemporary dining spaces.

Should dining chairs be lighter or darker than a table?

There’s no strict rule, but lighter dining chairs can create contrast and a modern, airy look when paired with darker tables. Matching tones offers a more cohesive and formal style, while mixing shades can add visual depth and interest to the room.

What is the best colour for a dining chair?

The best colour depends on your interior palette, but neutral tones like beige, black, white, or grey are timeless and easy to coordinate. For bolder interiors, deep greens, navy blue, or muted rust tones are popular for adding warmth and sophistication without overwhelming the space.

How To Style Contemporary Modern Dining Chairs

Contemporary modern dining chairs work best when styled around your space’s tones and textures. In open-plan kitchens, try pairing black or dark wood chairs with white or marble tables to create contrast. For relaxed dining areas, chairs in bouclé or soft linen bring warmth and texture, especially when paired with oak or Scandi-style tables. Want a more refined touch? Cream and black dining chairs can subtly echo monochrome interiors without feeling too stark. And for bold spaces, velvet dining chairs in green or navy add a modern pop that still feels elevated.
