5 Expert Tips for Choosing the Perfect Dining Chairs for Your Space

Furnishing your dining room isn’t just a practical task—it’s an opportunity to create a space that reflects your lifestyle, complements your design taste, and encourages meaningful gatherings. Among all the elements in a dining space, the chairs often set the tone. They contribute not only to comfort and functionality but also to the visual identity of the room.

Choosing the perfect dining chairs, however, is easier said than done. The number of options on the market can be overwhelming. From color and material to structure and compatibility, it takes both design sense and smart tools to make the right choice.

Here, we offer five practical tips to help you choose the ideal chairs for your dining room—and show how ASKT’s Sunbin AI Agent can assist you in this process.

Tip 1: Define Your Dining Room Style

Before browsing for chairs, it’s important to understand the style of your space. Is it minimalistic and modern? Rustic and warm? Eclectic and colorful? Your chairs should either reinforce your existing aesthetic or add a complementary contrast.

Sunbin AI Agent Advantage: If you're unsure what style fits your room, upload a photo of your dining space. The AI will analyze the scene and recommend chair models that harmonize with your existing design. This visual matching ensures you don't waste time browsing irrelevant options.

Tip 2: Consider Proportions and Scale

A common mistake in furniture selection is choosing pieces that are too bulky or too small for the room. Dining chairs should be proportionate to your table and leave enough space for movement. Standard seat height ranges from 45 to 48 cm, and you’ll want about 25–30 cm of space between the seat and tabletop for comfort.

Sunbin AI Agent Advantage: Upload a photo of your dining table, and Sunbin AI will suggest chairs with the right height, leg width, and backrest shape. You’ll receive technical specs along with design suggestions—ensuring both visual balance and ergonomic support.

Tip 3: Select the Right Materials and Fabrics

Material affects not only the look and feel of your chair but also its maintenance. Do you need a stain-resistant fabric for a family home? Or a luxurious velvet finish for a formal dining area? Think about the users and daily usage.

ASKT offers fabrics that are water-repellent, pet-friendly, and OEKO-TEX® certified. One of our fabrics is even made from recycled plastic bottles, aligning with sustainable values.

Sunbin AI Agent Advantage: Through dialogue, the AI can recommend materials based on your priorities—from easy-to-clean options to eco-friendly textiles. Ask it directly: "Which fabrics are best for homes with kids?" or "What’s the most durable material for a restaurant setting?"

Tip 4: Match Colors and Textures Thoughtfully

Color coordination is essential, but contrast can also be powerful. Wooden tables might pair well with leather or fabric chairs in lighter hues. A white interior might benefit from deep-colored seating that adds depth.

Sunbin AI Agent Advantage: Simply upload a picture of your space or existing furniture. The AI will suggest chair colors and finishes that complement or contrast effectively, explaining the rationale behind the recommendation. This feature saves guesswork and boosts your design confidence.

Tip 5: Think Long-Term: Functionality & Versatility

A chair isn’t just for looks. Consider stackability, weight, ease of cleaning, and even whether you may want interchangeable bases like swivel or sled options. If you're designing for a flexible space, opt for chairs that can move easily and store compactly.

ASKT’s KINEXA™ quick-connect system offers modularity—allowing you to mix and match chair tops and bases, ideal for dynamic needs and fast fulfillment.

Sunbin AI Agent Advantage: Looking for chairs that are stackable or suitable for both home and contract use? The AI can filter options by function, helping you make a practical and cost-effective decision.

Bonus: Leverage Technology to Simplify Your Decision

With all the factors above in mind, narrowing down options manually can be time-consuming. That’s where ASKT’s Sunbin AI Agent truly shines.
