Dining Chairs: The Perfect Match for Your Dining Table
The dining chair is the most purchased type of chair, and for good reason. It takes center stage at the table, is used daily, and is a defining part of the dining room. At MooierThuis, you'll find dining chairs in enormous variety. With or without armrests, swivel or fixed, and in materials like velvet, bouclé, fabric, and faux leather. There's always a model that suits your table and your taste. View our full collection of dining chairs for all options and subcategories.
Armchairs: An Inviting Spot in the Living Room
An armchair is more than just an extra seat. It's a statement in the living room. Placed next to the sofa, in a reading nook, or by the window, an armchair creates its own inviting atmosphere in the room. Combine it with a side table next to it for a complete reading nook or relaxation spot. Choose a model in a fabric or color that contrasts with the sofa for an exciting, eclectic living room. Or opt for a matching combination for a calm and cohesive look.
Bar Stools: Style at the Bar or High Table
Bar stools aren't just for hospitality. In a modern kitchen with a kitchen island or bar, bar stools are an obvious and atmospheric choice. They make the kitchen cozy and inviting and are ideal for a quick breakfast, a drink, or an informal meal. Choose bar stools that match the style of the rest of the kitchen and dining room for a cohesive look. When choosing, always consider the seat height in relation to the bar table or kitchen island.
Mixing Chairs: The Power of a Deliberate Combination
One of the strongest interior trends of recent years is the conscious mixing of different chairs at one table. Two chairs with armrests at the ends and four without armrests on the sides. Or a mix of velvet and wooden chairs for a varied yet cohesive table arrangement. It gives the dining room more depth, character, and personality than a uniform set of identical chairs. At MooierThuis, you'll find enough variety to create your own perfect mix.
Material and Maintenance: What to Look For?
The material of a chair not only determines its appearance but also its maintenance and durability. A few guidelines:
Velvet: luxurious and atmospheric, but susceptible to stains. Preferably choose a velvet with stain treatment, especially in a household with children or pets.
Bouclé and teddy: trendy, soft, and warm in appearance. Maintain with a soft brush to preserve the structure. Avoid wet cleaning.
Faux leather: easy to clean with a damp cloth. Durable and practical for daily use at the dining table.
Fabric: versatile and available in many colors and textures. Choose a removable cover for easy maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chairs
How do I choose the right chair height for my dining table?
The standard seat height of a dining chair is 45 to 48 cm. This fits most dining tables with a table height of 75 to 78 cm. There should be at least 25 to 30 cm of space between the seat cushion and the tabletop for comfortable seating. For a higher table or a bar table, choose higher chairs or bar stools with an appropriate seat height.
How many chairs fit at my dining table?
Allow at least 60 cm of table space per person; 70 cm is more comfortable. A 160 cm table comfortably seats 6 people. Also, consider the width of the chairs themselves. Chairs with armrests take up more space than chairs without armrests. For an extendable table, always calculate the number of seats based on the extended size.
Which chair material is the most low-maintenance?
Faux leather is the most low-maintenance and easiest to clean with a damp cloth. This makes it a popular choice for households with children or pets. Velvet and bouclé are atmospheric but require more care. Fabric upholstery with stain treatment offers a good middle ground between appearance and practical maintenance.
Can I combine different chairs at one table?
Yes, and it's even one of the strongest interior trends right now. A mix of chairs with and without armrests, or a combination of two different materials, gives the dining room more character and personality. Ensure there's a common element, such as a shared color or a shared material in the legs, so that the combination looks deliberate and cohesive.
What is the difference between a dining chair with and without armrests?
A chair with armrests provides more comfort and a more luxurious feel but takes up more space on the side. Therefore, it is more often placed at the ends of the table. A chair without armrests is more compact, fits more easily under the table, and is more convenient if you want to place multiple chairs at a longer table. Many people combine both types for the best balance between comfort and space usage.
