If your dining room has one main color that dominates the space, instead of matching your dining chairs to that color, you may want to go the opposite route and opt for black and white. The idea is to throw in touches of contrast. If you pick just any color, then there is the danger of clashing. But since black and white are neutral, you know that this will not be a problem.

Square upholstered storage ottoman coffee table
You get the best of both worlds with a storage ottoman: a spot to relax and put your feet up, and a place to store magazines, books or cushions. Of course, an ottoman can also be used as an extra seat when guests come over, and as a cocktail or coffee table you can sit around. It’s a very versatile piece of furniture that not only looks good, but also saves space.

Upholstered kids headboards
Looking to add a bit of fun to your child’s bedroom? An upholstered headboard can help set the tone nicely. From purple crowns to red hearts to dinosaur shapes to traditional looking headboards in all kinds of crazy colors, a fun looking headboard can change the look of a room instantly. Such headboards fit a twin size bed nicely so there’s no need to worry about the right fit.

There is an added bonus to these kinds of headboards: they protect your child’s head somewhat. If your child tends to move around a lot while sleeping, they might occasionally hit their head on the bed’s headboard.
Upholstered parsons dining chairs
Parsons dining chairs are a real classic. A style that has endured many years. You can find them in many colors, upholstered in leather, suede or other fabrics, most commonly in one solid hue, but they can also be found with patterned fabric as well. Remember that fabric is harder to care for when it comes to stains, so make your choice accordingly.

Upholstered skirted dining chairs
Sometimes you just want to change things up a tad in the dining room and there’s nothing more effective than taking your existing dining room chairs and upholstering them with an elegant, formal looking fabric. From there you can add a draping look by adding a skirt in the same fabric as the new upholstery. This gives your dining room chairs a truly sophisticated and rich look that will have your guests looking regal as they sit at the table.
