W INTERIORS L CHAIRS You can have the most beautiful table in the most elegant of spaces but unless your chairs are comfortable then no one is going to want to rest their posteriors for long at your table, despite how fabulous your sous-vide of venison is! Look for chairs with upholstery and low to medium backs for maximum comfort. If you are short on space ensure that your chairs have four legs and opt out of choosing a chair with a sleigh or tripod leg. Nana by name not by design, this lovely chair from Jesse would look great with a contemporary table or your great uncles walnut slab. This chair called the Curatos from B&B Italia displays perfect proportions and offers both comfort and style. SIDEBOARDS What dining space would be complete without somewhere to store the china that you just cannot stop purchasing! Sideboards can help zone a space, whilst providing valuable storage. If your boutique collection of china will fit in this delightful piece from Bonaldo, I admire your restraint and envy your eye for colour and detail! Molteni have a flexible storage system called the C505 which would fit most spaces and comes in a myriad of finishes. In summary your dining space, should reflect your lifestyle and your personality, but it is worth investing in a timeless piece and remembering that the table you choose is for life not just for Christmas get together. So go forth and unleash your inner Ramsey in the knowledge that your environment chosen by your inner Hoppen will complement each other!
