Dining Chairs – Seat Height, Seat Width, What is the Right Choice? A Guide to Designing the Perfect Kitchen

There is no doubt that the kitchen is the heart of the home and a gathering place for family activities. Ensuring proper design and the right choice of dining chairs is essential for any dining area. To guarantee maximum comfort and a perfect match for your dining table, we have compiled this guide to explain common measurements for dining chairs.

1. Chair Dimensions:

1.1. Chair Height: When selecting chairs, special attention must be paid to the table height. The standard dining table height ranges from 75 to 78 cm, and the recommended seat height for dining chairs is between 45 and 48 cm.

Note: For upholstered chairs, the seat height should be measured while sitting on the chair to account for any compression.

1.2. Seat Width and Depth: The width and depth of the chair directly affect the seating arrangement around the table. Optimal dimensions are 40 to 50 cm for the chair width and 40 to 50 cm for the chair depth.

Note: Dining chairs with armrests are generally wider, with a width range of 55 to 65 cm.

1.3. Backrest Height: The height of the backrest influences the comfort of sitting. Ideal dining chairs have a high backrest that supports and wraps around the back, promoting proper posture with a 90-degree angle.

2. Space and Spacing Between Diners:

2.1. General Chair Spacing: To ensure maximum comfort, it’s recommended to leave about 10 to 20 cm of space on each side between chairs.

2.2. Space Per Diner: If space is limited, the minimum required per diner is 50 cm. If there is more room around the table, a spacing of 60 cm per diner is ideal.

2.3. Calculating the Number of Diners Around the Table: You can plan the number of diners that can sit around the table based on a size guide, which is detailed in a related post: "How many people can sit around a table? Extendable round tables, square tables, console tables, and seating capacity based on table size.”>>
