Mix & Match Dining Sets To Suit Your Style

You’re hosting a dinner party, and as your guests waltz in, their jaws drop faster than Simon Cowell’s when he spots actual skillz during a Britain’s Got Talent audition. Why? Because your dining room looks like it’s just stepped off the pages of a swanky interiors mag. The secret? A brilliantly arranged dining set that screams ‘you’ from every angle.

Gone are the days when your dining table and dining chairs had to match like Ant and Dec. Now, it’s all about expressing your unique style and creating a space that’s as individual as you are. Welcome to the wonderful world of Mix & Match dining sets.

Why Mix & Match Dining Sets?

So, why is everyone going crazy for Mix & Match dining sets? Well, it’s simple. It’s all about freedom and personalisation. Rather than feeling stuck with a matching table and chair set that doesn’t really fit your vibe, mixing and matching allows you to craft a dining area that truly reflects you. Want a rustic wooden table paired with modern, vibrant chairs? Go for it. How about a sleek glass table with some cosy linen seats? Absolutely.

That’s why Mix & Match dining sets are the hottest trend in home interiors right now. You’re no longer confined to buying a full set. Instead, you can handpick different elements and blend them together. It’s like putting together a great outfit for a Saturday night out, where you pair your favourite vintage jacket with those brand-new chunky boots (think Fearne Cotton at a festival).

And the best part? At Furniture Outlet, we’ve got the largest selection of dining tables and chairs on display at any bricks ‘n’ mortar store in the UK – over 2,000 combinations – giving you endless possibilities to create the perfect set.

How To Mix & Match Dining Sets Like A Pro

Ready to dive in but not sure where to start? Don’t worry. Mixing and matching might seem a bit tricky at first, but there are a few simple tips that can help you create a dining space that’s stylish and cohesive, not chaotic. It’s not about everything being perfect. It’s about everything working together, reflecting your unique style.

1. Start With The Table

The dining table is the centrepiece of your dining room. It’s where your meals happen, where you gather with friends, and yes, it’s probably where you wrap Christmas presents in a mad rush in December. So, it’s important to get this right.

When choosing your table, think about both style and size. Do you love a rustic, farmhouse vibe? Then a big, chunky oak table could be perfect. Prefer something modern? A sleek glass or marble effect table will give you that contemporary feel.

At Furniture Outlet, we’ve got an incredible range of tables to suit every style, from the large, statement Oakford 2.4m solid oak dining table (just £849) to more compact options like our Immi 1.3m stone dining table (£249). Whatever your style, you’ll find something to match.

2. Choose Your Chairs

This is where you can really have fun. Chairs are a great way to add character to your dining room, and the best part is, they don’t have to match. You could mix two or three different chair styles around the same table for an eclectic look. Imagine pairing a modern table with some vintage-inspired chairs or combining upholstered seats with more minimalist designs.

For example, as seen in the TikTok video above, our best-selling Venice velvet swivel chairs (£429 for four chairs) offer a sleek, modern touch, while our comfy Bari dining chairs (£259 for four chairs) are perfect for those who prefer a softer, more classic look. Feeling bold? Try the new Aria swivel chairs (£229 for a pair) in vibrant colours to add a playful pop to your dining space.

3. Play With Colour & Texture

One of the best things about Mix & Match dining sets is that they give you the chance to experiment with colour and texture. Not everything has to match perfectly. In fact, mixing different textures and colours is what makes this trend so much fun.

Maybe you’ve got a wood table, and you want to pair it with some plush velvet chairs for a touch of luxury. Or you’ve got a sleek glass table, and you decide to soften the look with some linen or fabric chairs. Mixing materials is a great way to create contrast and interest, without it feeling overwhelming.

4. Mix & Match Dining Set Ideas To Get You Started

Still feeling a bit lost? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered like a good umbrella in a British summer. Here are some mix-and-match dining set ideas to spark your creativity:

• The Scandi-Chic Dining Set: Pair a grand oak table with a mix of white and natural wood chairs for a look that’s cooler than a Nordic winter.

• The Colour Burst Dining Set: Take our Immi stone table and surround it with chairs in different, bold colours. It’s like a packet of Skittles, but for your dining room.

• The Vintage Remix Dining Set: Mix old and new by pairing a modern table with vintage style chairs. It’s a unique blend of classic and contemporary.

• The Texture Tale Dining Set: Combine a sleek glass table with chairs in different materials. Think leather, rattan and upholstered fabric. It’s a tactile treat!

• The Monochrome Magic Dining Set: Stick to black & white pieces for a dining set that’s more timeless than a Doctor Who marathon.

KEY TAKEAWAYS ABOUT MIX & MATCH DINING SETS

• Flexibility & Personalisation – By choosing your dining table and chairs separately, you have complete control over the look and feel of your dining room. You can change things up over time without needing to replace everything. Maybe swap out the chairs for something new down the line, or add a bench for a bit of variety. Your dining space can evolve with your taste, making it truly unique.

• Budget-Friendly Options – A big advantage of Mix & Match dining sets is that they’re perfect for those on a budget. Instead of investing in a full dining set all at once, you can build your perfect set over time. For example, start with a stylish yet affordable stone dining table like the Immi (£249), then add chairs as your budget allows – whether that’s splurging on some designer-inspired ones or opting for our more budget-friendly options.

• A Unique Look – The best part about mixing and matching? No one else will have the same dining set as you. It’s your chance to create something one-of-a-kind that reflects your personality and lifestyle. Whether you’re mixing textures, playing with bold colours, or combining different chair styles, the result will be a dining space that’s completely you.
