How to combine table and chairs? An interlocking game between ancient and modern

Is combining a classic table with modern chairs a gamble? No, if we discover together how to combine tables and chairs for classic living rooms without giving up a modern style and the right elegance.

Choosing tables and chairs for the living room and also for the kitchen is not as simple as it may seem: after all, we are talking about the two "strong points" of the furnishing of these rooms, so this choice must be carefully considered, considering all the important factors in this case.  Obviously aesthetics, style, but also comfort and practicality of use. But, if we want to focus on style, we could ask ourselves if it is still necessary to follow the line of matching at any cost, perhaps with a classic "couple" consisting of a white table and chairs, for a modern living room, or with an elegant table with a classic chair, if the environment is more retro in style.

The answer is no: the time has come to dare and discover how to combine different chairs with classic and modern tables.

Combine antique table with modern chairs? Practical guide

If our choice for the table falls on a classic model, we will probably orient ourselves on wood, perhaps with an ash or oak essence. We could also dare more and choose a reproduction of an antique table, aiming also at a dark wood, although obviously in this case we should pay attention to the environment and in particular to the brightness of the same, because a large and dark coloured table risks to take away light also from the rest of the furniture.

Combining light-coloured chairs with a dark table may seem risky, but in reality, with the right attention to the choice of chair model, it is an option to keep in mind. In fact, the chromatic contrast between the table and the chairs is able to give a breath of fresh air to a classic furniture, especially if the chairs are modern and stand out from the rest of the environment both in style and colour.

Choose the chairs for the antique table. Here is how to do it

When choosing the model it is not necessary to orient oneself towards chairs that have very high costs: it is enough, for example, to choose models that take up the great classics of modern design (as also ikea chairs do), to have chairs that are practical to use and at the same time beautiful to look at. Moreover, choosing chairs with a particular shape also allows to make the living room environment lighter and brighter, especially if the choice falls on a coloured model. And, if you want to really dare the maximum, why not try to choose chairs to match the table with different colours and, if we really want to give a particular imprint to the furniture, also with different shapes? Surely, by carefully studying the models to choose from, not only would we have practical chairs and a table to use, but together they will create an aesthetically unique result.

Black table and white chairs: why not reverse the colours?

A great classic of modern furniture is the black living room table, which is usually combined with chairs of the same colour. In the same style, a completely white table, such as the Chaumont Table, a model with a white tempered glass top, particular for the lightness given by the glass, is usually combined with white chairs. But what if we decide to go beyond these schemes for our living room? To avoid daring too much with an excessive polychromy we could try a white - black combination. Then we could combine a black table with a set of white chairs, while the same model in white could be combined with a black set, perhaps composed of Verdellino Chairs, elegant and comfortable thanks to the painted chrome-plated steel frame and the eco-leather seat cover. The effect is certainly particular, overcomes the boredom that could be given by the presence of a single colour, but without losing elegance and style.

Surely in combining chairs and tables you can follow classic patterns, obtaining a result that is classic and elegant: but also daring, looking for a solution that is able to catch the attention of an observer and fully express our personality, has now become a concrete possibility. The models available, both in terms of chairs and tables, are many and with very different characteristics and styles, so it becomes easy to find the combination that best suits our style to our taste. Obviously always with the right attention to the quality of materials and workmanship, because chairs and tables are a part of our home that we use often and also in different ways and that should therefore guarantee good resistance and durability over time. And without forgetting the possibility to make a good deal, thanks also to online shops.
