Room Buy Room: Modern Classic

Gone are the days of “matchy-matchy” when it comes to furnishing the dining room. Keep things interesting and mix it up with mismatched sets of chairs.

Matching dining chair sets can be pricy. Add an element of surprise to your table by pairing two mismatched sets of chairs. Hint: Top the chairs with gold cushions for an added awe factor. Ingolf Chair in white, $59.99, and Norvald Chair in Black, $69.99  Both available at IKEA
