CONTRASTING CARVERS

In an open plan space or a specified dining room, the dining table can become an ornamental feature as well as a practical piece of furniture. Making it beautiful is key to a welcoming home, with comfy inviting chairs for long evenings full of conversation and laughter.  Here I have focussed on the seating as a tool for creating a stunning centrepiece to you room.



Period Oriental

Here, not only is there a contrast of chairs, there is also a contrast of styles.  Mixing oriental side chairs with traditional English carver chairs and period features creates an eclectic mix and a unique statement.  Using yellow to draw the two styles together allows the room to work as a whole, an idea to consider if you plan on mixing styles or eras.



A Spot of Zebra

These zebra print carver chairs work fabulously within the monochromatic room set.  They team fun with an air of elegance and create pattern in what might other wise be a flat roomscape.  A fun, lighthearted touch will create a talking point and allow guests to relax much more quickly, and should be a key factor in your designers mindset.
