Dining rooms were once a focal point of the home, but for many they have become a place to stash a purse when running through the door, only tidied up for special dates, dinner parties or holiday meals. With busy lives and schedules, dining at home often means grabbing a seat on the couch and catching up with the latest binge-worthy show. Because we spend so little time in our dining rooms, they tend to take a backseat to other areas of the home when it comes to design and decoration, making them an untapped source for both interaction and style.
Craig Claiborne, a celebrated New York Times food critic, once wrote a treatise dedicated to the joy of dining alone at home and the value of making the experience special, and Wovenbyrd agrees. Bringing ambience and elegance to your dining room not only makes your home feel better but elevates your home dining experience, whether you’re entertaining guests or setting a table for one.
A great way to make your dining room more inviting, more impressive and more likely to be used, is by swapping out traditional dining chairs for eye-catching, statement-making accent chairs. Read on for Wovenbyrd’s guide to elevating your dining room with accent chairs.

Feast Your Eyes on Farmhouse Charm
Cozy and stylish, farmhouse-inspired interior design has captivated the country in recent years. Farmhouse style conjures up a sense of comfort and home with its use of patterns, wooden elements and gentle color schemes. What better place to harness the warmth of farmhouse charm than in the dining room? Wovenbyrd’s Armless Slipper Accent Chair evokes homespun loveliness with heightened hallmarks of farmhouse design. Upholstered in soft textured woven fabric with a classic striped pattern in light gray or navy blue atop wood-finished legs, the Armless Slipper Accent Chair brings rustic elegance to the dining room. Scaled to fit around the dining table, these chairs provide comfortable support to last well into a dessert of peach cobbler or strawberry shortcake.
Serve Up Bohemian Glamour
Paris’s Montmartre district rose to timeless, international fame with the lifestyle of its 19th century countercultural scene.
