9 Dining Chair Styles
The right dining chair can totally change the look of a table. However, it is not necessary to stick to one style of chairs only, you can mix and match as long as you keep them composition in the same colour, and unifying pattern. I have rounded up some of the most-loved styles to offer a guide to choosing your perfect dining room chair. Read on to learn about the styles, elements, and even histories of these dinnertime companions.
Modern Chairs
Industrial Cafe
Industrial dining chairs are fast becoming a favourite in cafes, restaurants, and bars as well as in the home. This is in part due to the unique style that industrial pieces provide but also due to the durability and high quality manufacturing of such pieces.
Mid-Century Modern
Often made of bent wood or molded plastic and metal, modern/contemporary dining chairs have a streamlined, organic look.
Contemporary Bent Wood
With Bent wood these days some designers go absolutely crazy, they create chair out of 1 piece of wood which is pretty impressive. Today you can even find the prefabricated wood which is easy to bend and fix the shape but soaking it in water for few minutes!
Transitional Chairs
Windsor
Taking their inspiration from early english designers. Windsor Chair feature — a half circle back supported by vertical slats or rods. Spindle legs are a common feature too. Add Windsor chairs when you want vintage style with casual charm.

You can use it as a dining chair, you can use it as an occasional chair, it will look great in the children’s room (instead of the sofa).

Classic
French Bistro
It’s almost impossible to think of café society in Paris without picturing a classic French bistro chair — not surprising, considering the chairs have been ubiquitous on the sidewalks of Paris since cafés flourished in the 19th century. Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and Simone de Beauvoir are among those who spent hours eating, drinking, and conversing while seated on bistro chairs. Famously light and therefore a cinch to move, bistro chairs are an ideal choice for a busy eat-in kitchen; they essentially enable you to create your own personal kitchen café. Made with woven rattan and other durable materials, bistro chairs are designed to weather the elements
Traditional Bent-Wood Chair
Michael Thonet was the person who started a massive production of these chairs in Vienna. In a short time, they became popular and recognisable. People loved them right from the beginning because of its shape, because of its light weight, elegance and durability. Now, of course, it is a classic, in fact, it is hard not to imagine Vienna without bent-wood chairs! Great choice both for classical and contemporary design.
