Interior designers' advice

The secret to choosing the perfect chair

At Gautier, our interior design experts are on hand to help you find your favourite chair from our wide range. Make your living or dining room your own by selecting the legs, materials, colours and upholstery that suit your style and reflect current trends.

There's a chair for every room, taste and occasion

If you enjoy entertaining, opt for comfortable chairs for your dinner guests. The choice of upholstery is also key—bear in mind that polyurethane is better at not showing the dirt and fabric and velvet are warmer. 

Whether your room has an industrial, cosy, Scandinavian or traditional feel, choose the chairs that do it justice. But you don't always have to match the colour and finish of your chairs to your table and other furniture. You could opt for pops of colour or go for a different look in terms of the design or upholstery.

How to choose the design, upholstery and legs

Feel free to get original with some of your chairs, especially if they're at the head of the table. For example, you could go for a vintage-style chair or an ultra-modern design that will give your interior a style boost. Armchairs add a chic, cosy feel when placed around a square table or at the head of a rectangular one.

And mismatched chairs are a great way to create a contemporary vibe and a splash of colour, which can be subtle if you prefer.

"Your choice of wooden or aluminium legs will give your chairs a very different look and create an on-trend mix-and-match effect."
