We often associate a dining table with matching chairs; however, this is quickly changing. People are experimenting by mixing and matching furniture pieces for a modern feel. You can do this by placing assorted styles of chairs or by painting the chairs you already have in distinct colours. If you want to go a step further, replacing the chairs completely is also an option. You can substitute them for a bench on one side of the table or even use stools and beanbags as an alternative.
