Pairing Dining Chairs and Bar Stools

With an open floor plan, kitchen and dining room spaces are often side by side, making the dining chairs and kitchen bar stools visible at the same time. This may bring up the question of how to coordinate these two chair types. We’ve put together a few ideas to help you effortlessly create that designed look.

TLDR– Pairing Dining Chairs and Bar Stools

  • Keep it cohesive: In an open floor plan, match dining chairs and bar stools by style, wood species, and stain color.
  • Choose your approach: Go for a coordinated “family look” or pick identical pieces for a seamless match.
  • Custom makes it easy: Many dining chairs can be built as matching bar stools in different heights and materials like wood, leather, or fabric.

When designing an open floor plan, coordinating dining chairs and kitchen bar stools is key. To create a cohesive look, match the style, wood species, and stain colors. If you prefer identical pieces, many dining chairs can be customized as matching bar stools in various sizes and materials, such as wood, leather, or fabric.
