Whether you have a classic bar table, a set of antique dining chairs that you found at a flea market or just wish to create a conversation piece with an eclectic contemporary dining space or home bar, there are several ways you can achieve this. A popular method is to put together an attractive dining set by grouping mismatched pieces like modern bar tables with midcentury vinyl and chrome barstools. Oval dining tables are just perfect for contemporary homes and they can be combined with klismos chairs for a striking highlight. Measure the modern bar tables or oval dining tables against the chairs you plan to use with them. The chairs must comfortably slide under the tables and leave enough clearance for a seated guest's legs. Check the width as well as the height; this is particularly applicable to tables with corner legs that the chairs must fit between. Make sure to coordinate at least one of the elements to your decor style. Modern bar tables or oval dining tables can be paired with leather covered contemporary barstools or chairs. A set of chairs with cognac-colored leather seats and fine gold embossed frieze can be a beautiful complement to contemporary dining tables. Shaker style barstools would work wonderfully well with an Art Deco-inspired curved front bar table. Bring the different elements together with the use of color and finish. A set of chairs and a differently styled table, all in cherry wood can be easily paired with each other. A sleek black lacquer modern table would set off mismatched wooden chairs that have all been painted white or bright red for a modern look that's playful. Formal dining tables with oak inlays can be matched to oak wood chairs. When mixing and matching antique or vintage furniture try to choose from the same or similar eras. Smoke-stained ash bar tables in the Art Deco style can be paired with red oak barstools in the same style to unify the set. Different eras or styles that overlap, like Bauhaus and Art Deco, will also give you compatible pieces. Create harmonious decor by balancing the different elements. Place two wooden chairs at the head and foot of the table and the leather chairs can go along the sides. If you have two backless barstools and others with backs, place the backless styles at the center with the backed barstools on either side. The visual symmetry gives the room a sense of balance while using mismatched elements. Pieces of the same scale can also infuse your space with visual harmony. A heavy wooden bar table would go together with heavy wooden barstools. A large, ornate dining table would seem out of proportion with sleek metal chairs but will work well with tall Arts and Crafts chairs to create a contemporary ambience.
