There’s a huge trend popping up in home decor: a statement piece. It’s usually just one piece of furniture, which differs in its style, design and look greatly and create a bold contrast to all the rest of the room. An antique dresser, table, chandelier, sofa, chair or anything else you like can be your personal bold statement that will bring an edgy feel. But more than that, you can create bold contrasting combos with several pieces of furniture like those we are sharing today – an antique dining table and modern chairs. Impossible to match them? Not true! Get ready to see the coolest and edgiest combos!
Contrasting Chairs And A Table
The most popular way to rock a vintage dining table and modern chairs is just to buy or get very contrasting things. You may highlight the vintage table with clear acrylic chairs, with metal ones, with bold sculptural ones or with bold upholstery. If you have a rustic vintage table, think of bold velvet upholstery and refined design for the chairs, if the table is very exquisite, calm it down with some metal chairs. The more different your dining set parts look, the cooler the result will be.

Same Colors
If you aren’t ready for a super contrasting and bold look, you may go for a softer transitional combo: rock the chairs that match your table in color. For example, if you have a whitewashed table, add chairs with white upholstery, or paint the dining table legs with black and add modern black chairs to match. It’s another cool and edgy combo to rock.

Mismatched Chairs
If you don’t have the same dining chairs or feel like creating a bold eclectic look, go for mismatched chairs. Put your table and add all kinds of chairs in various colors – modern, rustic, industrial, vintage, glam and many others, the colors can be also totally mismatching. Don’t be afraid to mix everything – upholstery, materials, looks and touches – eclectics is the new classics.
