Here are a few key things to consider when choosing the right dining chairs for your space.
Measure the length, width, and height of your dining table. The ideal dining chair seat height is between 45 and 50 cm, leaving a 25-30 cm gap beneath the table for comfortable legroom.
Allow each person about 60cm of space and a bit of wiggle room between chairs so everyone can sit comfortably.
For maximum comfort, chairs should be around 43–50cm wide and allow you to sit fully back with your feet flat on the floor. Consider statement chairs for the ends of your table for a more modern, designer-inspired look.
Make sure there’s enough clearance around the dining set to pull out chairs and walk around easily, especially in smaller dining areas or open-plan kitchens.
