The dining room becomes the heart of the home during the holidays, when family and friends gather, share meals, and linger over conversation. While table settings and décor play their part, dining chairs set the tone for comfort and style. Here, we highlight some of our favorite chairs from our interiors, each chosen not just for form and function, but for the way they shape the mood of the dining room.

kelly wearstler

In the Red Mountain dining room, Kelly Wearstler “Zuma” chairs are customized with a vibrant green base and crisp white upholstery. Their bold color makes a striking contrast against the room’s architectural backdrop of white walls, exposed ebonized beams, and oxidized metal accents.

john boone

The dining room of the Uptown Penthouse is anchored by John Boone “Florence” chairs upholstered in beige leather, their subtle tone blending seamlessly with the room’s neutral palette. Striking a balance between traditional and modern influences, the chairs embody the refined style of this transitional space.

pierre yovanovitch

The dining room of Uptown Eclectic embraces whimsy with Pierre Yovanovitch’s “Oops Mr. Boyfriend” and “Oops Mrs. Girlfriend” chairs arranged in alternating order around the dining table. Hand-embroidered visages by the textile house Maison Lesage add a note of camp and surrealism, yet the overall effect remains sophisticated and livable, a reminder that even functional pieces can double as art.

mies van der rohe

The mid-century–modern dining room of the Uptown Pied-à-Terre is furnished with Mies van der Rohe’s iconic “MR” cantilever chairs. Tubular steel frames in polished chrome support woven cane seats, an unexpected material pairing that underscores the timeless appeal of modernist design.

lorin marsh

In the Penthouse in the Sky dining room, “Concourse” side chairs from Lorin Marsh were customized in a finish and upholstery to suit the space. Their tailored details introduce a refined formality, complementing the room’s polished, elevated atmosphere.

cliff young

The Leonard Street dining room is enveloped in a moody indigo palette. At the center, Cliff Young’s “Thought” chairs bring elegance and comfort, their design echoing elements throughout the room. The midnight blue upholstery pulls from the Liu Ye artwork on the wall, while the metallic accents on the chair backs mirror the Frederick Molenschot chandelier above. Together, these details create a cohesive and layered composition.

magni home

In quintessential Palm Beach fashion, the dining room of our Winter Retreat home boasts bold glamour with a tropical influence. The space feels both formal and playful, and the dining chairs are no exception. The “Agnes” armchairs from Magni Home introduce a sophisticated form with curved legs and armrests that extend across the back of the chair. The chairs are upholstered in a pale green textile that reflects the theme of florals and greenery.

The Bright Group

The dining room of our Gold Coast Townhouse showcases the Lorae Armchair from The Bright Group. Its molded back flows seamlessly into sculpted armrests, lending a sleek, modern feel to the chair’s classic silhouette. To add interest, we upholstered the chairs with two complementary fabrics: a smooth, supple leather on the outside of the chair, and a woven textile across the seat and back rest. This pairing gives a refined look and prioritized comfort.
