Dining Rooms: Transforming a well-loved space
The dining room is no longer just a place for special occasions. From family meals and home working to entertaining friends, it's become one of the most versatile spaces in the home. Giving your dining chairs a fresh look is one of the simplest ways to transform the room without replacing furniture you already love. Reupholstering existing chairs with beautiful, high-quality fabrics creates an instant update, adding personality, comfort and style. It's a sustainable way to refresh your home while preserving well-made furniture that still has years of life left in it.
Let jacquard take centre stage
Patterned upholstery can instantly transform dining chairs into the focal point of a room. Bold fabrics like Maestro add colour, texture and personality, creating a striking centrepiece that ties the space together. When choosing your dining chair fabric, look for hard-wearing designs that don't compromise style, or your design scheme!

Minimalist style, maximum impact
A minimalist dining space doesn't have to feel boring. These slick dining chairs demonstrate how clean lines and understated upholstery can create a sophisticated look without overpowering the space. Soft neutral tones can complement wooden features, allowing the room to feel bright and open. Finished in Cristina Marrone’s most durable faux leather, Toro, the fabric combines the luxurious look and feel of genuine leather with durability, easy maintenance and everyday practicality.
