What are some major modern dining room trends?

We have seen a dramatic change in the style of dining rooms. Since quarantine,  dining spaces have become more casual and less formal with a focus on comfort and relaxation. Modern dining chairs like the C2 W Dining Chair from Artless were designed with this in mind, with memory foam cushioning and a comfortable linen blend fabric. We are also seeing dining rooms with a natural, bohemian aesthetic. Incorporating pieces made with organic materials is a great way to achieve this design style. Chairs like the BM61 Chair from Fredericia, wrapped in natural cane wicker, and the Peak Chair from Cane Line, handcrafted from natural rattan, offer an elevated bohemian element. You can mix and match different chair designs as well, which is also a major trend, to design the perfect dining space for you.

What is the best use for an accent chair?

Accent chairs are meant to provide, well, an accent to a room. They are a focal point meant to catch your eye as you enter a room, and are often the most coveted seat in the house. An accent chair can add the finishing touch to the design and feel of a room, whether it be a pop of color, a new material, or a unique silhouette. If you want to breathe some life into a neutral space, an accent chair with a bold color like the Melinda Chair from Artless is a perfect way to do so. You can add color throughout the room to tie in the chair as well, through throw pillows or blankets, or table accessories that match your accent piece. The material of a chair can also act as an accent if you want to stick to one cohesive color palette. Incorporating a new material into the room also draws the eye of a viewer, and a chair like the Inheritence Armchair from Stephen Kenn is a great option for this. A unique design always catches attention, and fun shapes and styles can add dimension to a space. Consider the Croissant Lounge Chair from Gubi to achieve this.

What is the difference between modern and contemporary furniture?

The term “modern” when referring to the style of furniture is used to describe pieces that were popular from the 1900s to the 1950s, whereas “contemporary” is used to describe pieces that are popular now. Modern furniture uses straight, clean lines to direct your attention throughout the room. Modern dining chairs and lounge chairs use this feature in the shape of their design, almost every angle at 90 degrees. If you want to incorporate modern pieces into your home, explore options like the Seminar II Chair from Nikari and the Modern Line Lounge Chair from Gubi. Contemporary furniture uses bold and sweeping curves to create an inviting feel and highlight openness. Chairs like The Tired Man Chair by Lassen and the Era Lounge Chair by Normann Copenhagen are perfect for this style, keeping your space minimalistic and comforting.
