Types of Dining Chairs Available at Soul & Tables
Wooden Dining Chairs
Crafted for durability and warmth, wooden dining chairs offer timeless appeal. At Soul & Tables, options range from clean-lined oak dining chairs to richly grained teak dining chairs, each designed to bring a natural touch to your dining space. These chairs pair well with both modern and rustic interiors, offering sturdy support and enduring character.
Upholstered Dining Chairs
For enhanced comfort during long meals and gatherings, fabric dining chairs and leather dining chairs provide a cushioned seat with tactile softness. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, they bring a sense of luxury and refinement to the table. No matter the textured warmth of fabric or the sleek finish of leather, these chairs offer both style and comfort.
Scandinavian Dining Chairs
With a focus on clean lines, functionality, and natural materials, Scandinavian dining chairs embrace minimalist elegance. Often featuring tapered legs and gentle curves, these chairs are ideal for those who appreciate mid-century style and understated design. Soul & Tables' collection includes options in both wood and upholstery, blending form and function seamlessly.
Armchairs vs Armless
Choosing between armchairs and armless styles depends on the layout and feel you’d like to create. Armchairs offer added support and a more relaxed, enclosed seating experience—ideal for the heads of the table. Armless chairs, on the other hand, provide a more streamlined look and are easier to tuck under the table, making them a practical choice for smaller spaces or larger gatherings.
Bench Seating Options
A dining bench is a versatile alternative to traditional chairs, offering communal seating that encourages a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Perfect for family-style dining or minimalist settings, benches work well with both rectangular and oval tables. Available in solid wood or with upholstered tops, they complement a wide range of interior styles.
A Practical Guide to Care for Different Materials
Looking after your furniture properly not only keeps it looking its best, but also helps extend furniture life across a range of materials, from wood to fabric and more.
Wood Cleaning Tips
To maintain the natural beauty of your wooden furniture, dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish. This approach is essential for protecting wooden furniture and supporting long-term furniture maintenance.
Fabric Protection
To extend furniture life, especially for fabric-covered chairs or sofas, hoover regularly using an upholstery attachment. Deal with spills promptly by blotting rather than rubbing. For cleaning fabric chairs, use a mild, fabric-safe cleaner and always carry out a spot test first. Consider applying a fabric protector to help guard against stains.
How to Prevent Wobbling
Prevent wobbling by checking joints, screws and legs regularly for looseness. Tighten fixings when needed and place furniture on level flooring. This is particularly important for items such as dining tables and teak chairs. Consistent upkeep contributes to overall furniture maintenance and plays a key role in teak chair care.
