Not true!  Get ready to see the coolest and edgiest combos!

Contrasting Chairs And A Table

The most popular way to rock a vintage dining table and modern chairs is just to buy or get very contrasting things. You may highlight the vintage table with clear acrylic chairs, with metal ones, with bold sculptural ones or with bold upholstery. If you have a rustic vintage table, think of bold velvet upholstery and refined design for the chairs, if the table is very exquisite, calm it down with some metal chairs. The more different your dining set parts look, the cooler the result will be.

Same Colors

If you aren’t ready for a super contrasting and bold look, you may go for a softer transitional combo: rock the chairs that match your table in color. For example, if you have a whitewashed table, add chairs with white upholstery, or paint the dining table legs with black and add modern black chairs to match. It’s another cool and edgy combo to rock.

Don’t be afraid to mix everything – upholstery, materials, looks and touches – eclectics is the new classics.
