New dining table set: mish-mash of chairs, or matching set?

[MrsBertMacklin]

I've bought a new dining table and now want to decide on some chairs, fancy advising me on which way to go: matching set, or non-matching, but harmonious separates?

I think as the table style is quite plain, I could take some risks with the chairs: all wood, but different materials, finishes and styles.

Table here;

Some of the chairs I'm considering mixing together:

Love the chairs in link 3 . They are beautiful.

The West Elm ones are my favourites, too. They stopped selling them late last year and have now reissued: just waiting for a 20% discount code...

It seems odd to me to do the mismatched chairs thing with brand new chairs. I think the reason people have this is because they've reclaimed interesting chairs from various sources. All the chairs you've picked are nice though.

Thanks mystery, I know what you mean, picturing some of the features on interior design sites I've been browsing.

Loving link 3 they also have a woven seat do would be more comfortable
I agree the mismatched look is usually old "rescued" type furniture
You could use link 3 chairs with different sear styles
