Choosing Chairs
-
Establish a budget
Determine the budget you have to work with. This helps to narrow your search. -
Measure your space
Plan out where the chairs will be placed and measure the space to be sure they will fit. Tape off the space as a visual guide. -
Choose the right fabric
What will you be using the chair for? If you have kids or pets, go with family-friendly and easy-to-clean fabrics like vinyl. -
Pick the right color
Use a color wheel or chart to decide on complementary colors for a themed look or make a statement with contrasting colors. -
Educate yourself
Before buying chairs, read as much as you can about the different styles, as there are plenty to choose from.
