Trends 2010 - Uniquely Shaped Dining Chairs

Why is it that the dining room is always a serious place? Perhaps it's the fact that you have been told to be on your best manners since you were a kid when it was time for family meals. Maybe you're afraid you are going to spill something on that white tablecloth. It could even be the furniture. Something about dining furniture usually seems so serious and formal and makes everyone who is sitting in it feel the same.

Well if you are ready to break that trend and make a few changes, you can give your dining room a more fun makeover and blame it on style. One of this year's furniture fashion trends is to look towards unique shapes in furniture. So, if you have been thinking it is about time for a change to your dining room table and dining chairs, maybe you should look into some more fun shapes that can make this area a little less stuffy.

For a lot of people, this idea is enough to get you up and out shopping, but not so fast. You need to take a few things into consideration.

How Unique Can You Go

Some of your options in what types of dining chairs you can buy will depend on the rest of your house and your decorating style in general. Someone who has a contemporary home with a number of geometric designs in place may not be so uncomfortable with a chair that looks as much like a piece of modern art as it does a piece of furniture. Yet on the other hand, someone who has a house filled with traditional décor may not be able to stretch things as far when it comes to changing out the dining chairs.

The other thing you need to think about is if you are going to replace the whole dining set. If you want to keep the table you currently have, you may be more limited in your selection of chairs with unique shapes, needing to have something that still goes with the table you have. If not, you can start from scratch and have a good time selecting the table and the chairs to go with it that bring fun and fascinating shapes to them.

Space

Before you start buying, you need to make sure the pieces you are looking at will fit in your home. It is wise to do a few measurements of the dining room and take into account the space you will need when the chairs are pulled out to still get around the table.

Comfort

At this point you will probably already be looking at all sorts of fun designs from chairs and tables filled with swirls to those that look like a mish-mash for fun geometric shapes. But the final thing you need to think about is if they will be comfortable. You may be eating a long meal here, followed by conversation. Make sure you read up on the construction of the piece as well as any cushioning to make sure it will be as enjoyable to sit in as it is to look at.
