Giving your dining room a makeover doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul. Sometimes, all you need are some new dining chairs to give the space a fresh look and feel.

Thankfully, there are plenty of modern options to choose from these days. Whether you’re looking for something sleek and minimalist or something a little more funky and fun, you’re sure to find the perfect set of dining chairs to match your own unique style.

So if you’re in the market for some new dining chairs, read on for our advice on how to choose the right ones.

There are a few types of dining chairs you can buy for your home, but modern dining chairs for 2022 and beyond tend to fit well in most settings.

Other types of seating you might consider for your dining room include:

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you are shopping for your new dining chairs.

Your dining chairs need to be comfortable, regardless of whether you’re eating a quick snack or lingering over the table for a holiday meal. Choose chairs that are the right size.

There should be at least 12 inches between the top of the seats and your dining table, with the seats elevated about 18 inches off the floor.

Most dining chairs are between 16-20 inches wide, though there are some modern dining chairs that have a narrower design.

How many chairs will your dining table comfortably seat? Usually, it’s somewhere between 4 and 10 chairs, so make sure you purchase the right number of chairs to fit your table without overcrowding it.

Here’s where you’ll want to get really specific. Modern dining chairs tend to be made out of the same materials as other styles, but they’re more unique and sleek in their overall form.

Metal is perhaps the most common choice for a modern dining chair, offering shininess and luster (and convenience, because it’s so easy to clean). You can add upholstered seats to make these chairs more comfortable.

Wood, particularly wood with ornate carvings or formations, is also common, as are plastic and upholstered fabric. Wicker can sometimes be found in dining sets, too, but it’s not as common in a contemporary design scheme.

So, what makes a great modern dining chair? Comfort is important, of course. However, it’s also important to consider the style of your room and find a chair that will complement – not clash with – the other pieces in the space. Don’t forget about the price, either.

You don’t need to break the bank – you can find some great deals on comfortable modern dining chairs if you know where to look. With these tips in mind, go forth and shop for the perfect set of chairs for your home!
