Guest Post + Decor Idea: Chairs in the Kitchen area


If you are looking for a way to add a touch of ergonomic sophistication to your kitchen area, a new set of dining chairs could be just what you need. Dining chairs are brilliant: they combine the practical with the pretty and marry relaxation with resilience. With options available to suit every taste, chairs represent an attractive and versatile alternative to other types of kitchen furniture...

some gorgeous ideas...
The term "dining chair" conjures images of tradition, harmony and familial warmth. Centred around the dinning table, they quite literally bring families and friends together, providing comfortable and attractive foundations on which happiness can blossom. Classic four-legged designs are perennially popular. With their stable foundations, these dining chairs are capable of striking astonishing vintage silhouettes which are guaranteed to draw gasps and impressed gazes from your guests.
Chairs need not be too conservative however, and in recent times quirkier models have taken precedent. As technology develops, so too should furniture. Manufacturers realise this and with this in mind they have created a range of modern contemporary designs for those who value different and distinctive furniture. Acrylic dining chairs are slick and futuristic, challenging the concept of a dining chair while retaining all of their best qualities. Z-shaped chairs are fashionable but functional, striking unique figures in a largely traditional market.
Some directly combine the old-fashioned with the contemporary. There are polished wooden chairs which will swivel and slide according to your wishes. Mobility and magnificence shouldn’t be mutually exclusive and neither should the classic and contemporary aesthetics. Indeed, many are completed by protective floor plugs, ensuring that ruined floor surfaces are a thing of the past. Whoever said that you can’t have it all clearly didn’t have a set of dining chairs in their kitchen!
A range of different seat types is available from faux and real-leather to ABS plastic resin. There is nothing quite like a real-leather seat for those who want to give their homes an opulent twist, although faux-leather is a close contender. Available in a range of colours, faux- and real-leather dining chairs are not to be missed if you value elegant, durable and flawlessly made furniture.
Although dining chairs aren't made for the kitchen, and with all these incredible options available, it’s impossible to resist the allure. So why not add some dining chairs to your kitchen and witness their wonders for yourself?

My lovely and sweet blogger friend Bailey from Peppermint Bliss is pregnant and she asked a few of us to put together a little girl's nursery for her. Check out my guest post at her blog today. 

If I was 8 again, I would absolutely want to live in this Windsor Smith designed bedroom.
Incredibly lovely, don't you agree? I am so inspired by cute little girls rooms like these...
