Adding a Bench to Your Dining Table
Benches have a more informal and inviting vibe than the usual set of chairs, plus you can fit extra guests. It’s okay if the wood finishes don’t match — they’ll blend just fine. If you want to pair an upholstered bench with upholstered chairs, stick with equally rich shades, like these yellow and blue jewel tones. Find upholstered kinds with turned legs from Wisteria or get them secondhand. The diamond-print fabric on this one is by Perennials. (Room design by Jenn Feldman Designs)
