14 Mar.,2024

 

Choosing dining room furniture is a daunting task. From coordinating styles, colors, and materials to envisioning the finished look, dining room interior design is no easy feat. Dining room chairs are an important part of your room. With so many different types of dining chairs around, there are a few things to consider when you look for your perfect set.

We get it. The many choices can be overwhelming. That's why we created this complete guide to all the different types of dining room chair designs and styles. Now you can make a confident choice that best suits your unique space.

Arm Chair vs. Side Chair

Let’s jump right in with the 2 main types of dining chairs: the side chair and the arm chair. Usually, arm chairs are placed at the ends of a table, surrounded by side chairs. However, some opt for all side chairs for a more casual look or even choose all arm chairs for extra comfort and formality. For a trendy look, many chairs at Cabinfield can be customized as a bar-height dining chair or even a swivel bar stool. Finally, a dining bench gives you extra seating space for family and friends.

We cover classics like the slat back, to more unique designs such as the fan back and even an upcycled wine barrel chair. Let’s dive in!

Different types of dining chairs: A complete guide

1. Bow Back Chairs

Bow back dining chairs often feature a Windsor chair-style design. This colonial dining chair is handcrafted from solid wood and boasts a wooden spindle backrest and continuous arms. A classic American side chair, the bow-back chair looks attractive from any angle. Dating back to the late 16th century, this timeless dining chair works best in traditional or farmhouse-style dining room settings.

2. Crossback Dining Chairs

Crossback dining chairs (otherwise known as X-back chairs) lend charm and character to any space. These French Country style chairs feature a curved X back, offering an ergonomic backrest. Crossback chairs look great in farmhouse-style kitchens. A popular look for these much-loved farmhouse dining chairs is a two-tone wood and white paint finish.

3. Cut-Out Back Dining Chair

A cut-out back dining chair offers something a little different. These striking chairs feature geometric cutouts in their backs and are often associated with Mission style. The cut-outs showcase the craftsman’s woodworking expertise and accentuates the beauty of the wood grain. Depending on the shape of the cut-outs in a wooden chair back, this chair design can range from traditional to contemporary.

4. Fan Back Dining Chairs

A unique take on the classic slat-back design, this elegant dining chair style features a striking fan backrest. Handcrafted from solid wood, the back is expertly contoured for ergonomic comfort and an attractive side profile. Fanback chairs are versatile in style, and look at home in Mission, traditional, Postmodern, and contemporary settings.

5. Floating Arms Dining Chairs

The unique feature of this contemporary-style chair is floating arms. The arms of this sleek and chic style chair are not joined to the backrest, giving an illusion of floating. This modern arm design lends the chair a striking side profile. Floating arm chairs look best when paired with side chairs. The Sierra Amish Dining Chair pictured, together with our other floating arm chairs, are all available as side chairs as well.

6. Keyhole Dining Chairs

Keyhole dining chairs literally reflect their name. These wooden dining chairs feature a cut-out in a keyhole shape in their backs. Both the keyhole shape and the chair back are square, lending the chair a modern, minimalist look. An added benefit of keyhole-back chairs is that they are cool and comfortable, with the hole allowing for airflow.

7. King Louis Dining Chairs

This traditional style chair, also known as King Louis XVI, features a signature oval backrest. The high backrest with its inward concave design provides lumbar support and ergonomic comfort. An upholstered seat and back give this dining chair a touch of luxury. The oval-shaped backrest also makes this chair perfect for retro-inspired dining rooms.

8. Ladder Back Dining Chair

Also known as wooden slat back chairs, this popular dining chair style features horizontal slats or spindles on the backrest. So-called because it resembled the rungs of a ladder, the ladder back is a very versatile design. Classic and uncomplicated, it can be paired with turned legs for a farmhouse or traditional style dining room, or with straight legs for a sleek modern look.

9. Lattice Back Chair

A lattice back chair features an eye-catching cut-out back, representing a lattice. Iconic of Mission style where emphasis is placed on expert craftsmanship, these solid wood dining chairs are wonderful statement pieces. The lattice design can vary from perpendicular crossing lines like the Harlen pictured to a diagonal double X-shaped chair back.

10. Live Edge Chair

A live-edge dining chair features one or more edges where the natural shape of the wood is preserved. These rustic-style chairs invite nature’s raw beauty indoors, bringing woody character and charm to your space. With the Evergreen Live Edge Dining Chair pictured, a large live edge wood slab strikingly forms the back of the chair. For an even more naturally rustic look, try pairing these chairs with a live-edge dining table.

11. Low Back Chair

Low-back chairs provide great lumbar support for people with lower back problems. These chairs are often contemporary in style, with sleek lines and a clean profile. Solid wood low-back chairs like the Wilton (pictured) also work well in a mid-century modern or retro-style kitchen.

12. Open Back Chair

With clean lines and a striking silhouette, open-back dining chairs are here to make a statement. These contemporary-style dining chairs work well in a minimalist-style dining room, due to their simplicity and use of negative space. The straightforward design also calls attention to the natural beauty of the wood grain.

13. Parsons Dining Chair

Created in the 1930s and named for the Parsons School of Design in Paris, parsons dining chairs were intended as an alternative to the excessively ornate designs of the time. This versatile chair style is fully upholstered with a straight back, offering comfort and classic good looks. Parsons dining chairs work great in traditional fine dining settings, but their modern streamlined profile also lends them beautifully to transitional or contemporary décor.

14. Queen Anne Dining Chairs

Queen Anne dining chairs are recognized for classic elements and graceful curves. These can include urn-shaped or fiddleback splats, cabriole legs, and upholstered seats. Named after Queen Anne of England, this traditional style dining chair creates an elegant, light look while still offering plenty of comfort.

These include an arched back (bow back) and turned legs. Wooden sheaf back chairs are perfect for a traditional-style dining room or kitchen.

16. Slat Back Dining Chairs

A classic favorite, the slat-back chair is one of the most traditional styles of chair backs. The rectilinear form and vertical slats are especially associated with the Mission style. The straightforward slats create an attractive silhouette and accentuate the beauty of the wood grain. This timeless dining chair works well in traditional, casual contemporary, or Mission style dining room settings.

17. Splat Back Chairs

A splat means the central vertical element in a chair back. Chair back splats can range significantly in style, from an ornate traditional look to a sleek contemporary design. Different eras and countries are associated with specific splat designs, from English to Gothic, French, and more.

Two-tone dining chairs are built from two wood types for a striking contrast effect. They can also be constructed from the same wood but finished with two different stain colors. Mixing woods in décor lends creative interest and attractive boldness to your room setting. White paint and wood are also commonly paired together for painted farmhouse dining furniture.

21. Upcycled Dining Chair

Upcycling is trending in 2023. Taking unwanted materials and creatively reusing them is a must for sustainable living. It also creates unique furniture, full of character and whimsical charm. Upcycled dining chairs can be created from anything, such as the King’s Inn dining chairs which are handcrafted from barrels.

22. Upholstered Dining Chair

Upholstered dining chairs offer an extra level of comfort. Choose from a fully upholstered dining chair or a chair with an upholstered seat. Upholsteries can range from plain or patterned fabrics to leather, and offer an opportunity to coordinate your dining set with your room décor.
