Seating for Round Dining Tables
A round dining table can help create a tone of intimacy in your kitchen or dining room. Everyone is on equal ground, so to speak. Since everyone is the same distance from each other, there's no straining to hear convesation at the other end of a long table. Round tables can also pull double duty for family fun - eat dinner, then move straight onto game night! From formal to country chic, here are some of our favorite ways to style a round dining table with chairs.
Farmhouse Favorites
For a casual and inviting look, try pairing solid wood chairs with a solid wood table. The finishes don't need to be an exact match - look for colors that have similar undertones.

Love the industrial look but don't want to get too "lofty" in your home? Try pairing an industrial table with a metal or steel base with natural fiber chairs or upholstered chairs.

Mix it up with a Settee
Consider using a sette or love seat on one side of your round table. You may be able to find a curved upholstered bench, but if not, a more traditional sette works beautifully as well. Look for a sette or small sofa that is a few inches longer than your table to make getting in and out a breeze.
