Matched or Mismatched Contemporary Dining Sets?

Though tastes and decorating styles vary, the advent of contemporary dining sets has made dining rooms very simple  to furnish. All that you need to do is to pick the style, material and size that you like, and you are good to go. No need to worry about clashing colors, designs and décor. Below are a few gorgeous pick for styles to choose from:

But if you are not fond of exactly coordinating  pieces, there is no reason for you to not use unmatched pieces. By following a few simple guidelines, you can create a mismatched dining room set that is functional and fashionable.

1. Choose the table first. It would be much easier to look for chairs that match the height of the table than a table than to match  the height of the chairs.
2. Look for sturdy chairs. Choose chairs that will not make you feel as if you are going to tip over at the slightest lift of your fork. Go with function before style.
3. It’s all about height. Even when you are going for a mismatched set, make sure that the height of the pieces match. This is one way to ensure that everything works.
4. Do not worry if the chairs match. You do not have to use various chairs. You can keep them the same, with one or two slightly different to create an asymmetrical effect.
5. Try buying used. Do not worry about purchasing used furniture. Browse sale ads, go to estate auctions and you should find a mismatched set for only a fraction of the cost.

So what will it be -- matched or mismatched?
