Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between rattan, bouclé and velvet dining chairs?
Rattan chairs bring a natural, textural look and tend to be lighter and easier to wipe clean, bouclé has a looped, textured knit that feels cosy but needs gentle care, and velvet offers a smooth, plush pile with rich colour depth. Each suits a different style and level of everyday maintenance.
How do I look after upholstered dining chairs?
Vacuum the upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust building up in the fibres, and treat spills immediately by blotting rather than rubbing. Keep chairs out of direct sunlight where possible, since prolonged exposure can fade fabric and velvet unevenly over time, particularly on lighter colours.
Can I use two dining chairs as accent chairs elsewhere in the home?
Yes, a pair of dining chairs works well as occasional seating in a hallway, bedroom or living room corner if you want extra seats without matching your main sofa suite. Just check the chair height and style suit the room, since some dining chair designs are quite formal for a casual living space.
