Decorating with Maggie: Dining Room Chairs

Thursday, July 30, 2009

Okay, I'm in dire need of some guidance. Since I have been searching far and wide online for some fab dining room chairs, I have gathered quite a collection of options! Please help me decide because I've narrowed it down as far as I can go at the moment and my money and if I have to make one more decision I might scream. I divided them into two groups: expensive and (relatively) inexpensive. If you hate the inexpensive ones and they make you want to hurl, pick an expensive one. But if you like them equally, pick an inexpensive one please so I can afford more furniture at once. Keep in mind that my apartment has a modern theme. It will be mainly white and black with some splashes of bright colors.

Just to help you decide, I'm for sure getting one of two dining tables. The first one has a black marble base and the second one will either have a black or white round leather base.


Lastly, are there any that you absolutely can't stand? Only because I have weird taste so maybe I just picked a bunch of ugly junk.

Thanks everyone! Hmm, I feel like Jaime right now.

Inexpensive options:

1. The "S" chair. $125 each.

2. Calligaris "Jolly Rancher" Chair. $177 each. Comes in all these colors except blue and clear. There is also hot pink (which I love), white lacquer and black lacquer, which both aren't see through like these.
Expensive options:

3. Armani black and white upholstered chairs. $260 each.

4. I removed #4. Narrowing it down, one by one.

5. Modern Elite "Lana" chair. $300-360. Comes in tons of different finishes and microfiber seats. I really like the black and teal or white and teal, but they also have lemon, lime, eggplant, etc. etc.
6. Modern Elite "Vida" chair. $290-340. Comes in same materials as "Lana" chair.

Which one is your favorite?

UPDATE: Last night I went to Houseworks and negotiated a great deal on #5. I chose the teal microfiber and black onyx finish. I get them in a month! I still won't be able to eat for a couple of weeks, but I have to look as good as my apartment anyway so it all works out. Thanks for all the feedback and help!
