The sexy color sits surprisingly well with many kinds of tables: modern and rustic, indoor and out, high-end and low-budget
They’re modern, versatile and certainly eye-catching — whether you choose to use them in the dining room, kitchen or outdoors, here are 10 reasons to fall for red dining chairs.
1. They are fresh and modern. This vibrant hue is just the thing for highlighting a sculptural, modern shape. Whether in a breakfast nook or formal dining room, red chairs always look fresh and current.
2. They look stunning outdoors. Be it from roses or poppies or the flash of a cardinal’s wing, red in the garden immediately draws our eye. Use this to wonderful effect by surrounding your outdoor dining table with bright red chairs.
3. They are rich and luxurious. For a warm and cozy library look in the dining room, fill floor-to-ceiling shelves with books and surround the table with comfortable red chairs. This room could just as easily be a work-from-home space or the center of a lively dinner party by candlelight.
4. They make stylish extra seats. When you end up having a few more guests than chairs hanging out in your living room, what do you do? Probably grab a spare from the dining room, right? If your dining chairs happen to be sleek and red, they won’t look out of place when pulling double duty.
5. They are surprisingly versatile. Think red chairs are difficult to match? Think again! A nice clear red, as shown on the chairs in this space, works well with soft blues and greens, sunny yellow, and neutrals.
6. They look good at all price points. The budget-friendly dining chairs shown here come from Ikea, work indoors or out and stack when not in use. And if your budget leans toward the other end of the spectrum, a set of iconic Eames dining chairs in red will never go out of style.
7. They bring a black and white room to life. Are you fond of the minimalist look but tiring of a strict black and white palette? Add red dining chairs for a splash of color that brings your stark black and white pieces into focus.
8. They brighten up a rustic space. Too many deep browns, bare woods and heavy iron fixtures can make a rustic space seem a little one-note. Shake things up with enameled metal chairs in shiny red.
9. They are a natural choice in the kitchen. Red dining chairs lend a wonderfully warm touch to the kitchen. A clear red will work well with just about any shade of wood, making it an easy choice if you have wood cabinetry.
10. They add punch to small spaces. Choosing color in a compact space can be tricky: Too much can feel too busy, and too little can feel flat. For a just-right balance, try perking up a small neutral space with a single burst of red to draw the eye — and perhaps repeat the red of the dining chairs in one other place (like a piece of artwork or cluster of books) to pull everything together.
