How to Mix PU Leather Dining Chairs with Your Existing Décor
Nailing the ideal combination of new and existing furniture is not always simple—especially in a room as central as your dining room. If you are wanting to upgrade to PU leather dining chairs, consider yourself lucky. These trendy chairs suit nearly any type of decor, especially with the dining room design NZ fashion that marries usability with an air of coziness. In this article, we will illustrate exactly how to get them to fit harmoniously into your current arrangement—without needing to perform a full facelift.
Know Your Current Style First
Before buying new PU leather chairs, take a good look at your room. Are you working with a coastal Hamptons, mid-century modern, or rustic farmhouse look? PU leather—especially in neutral shades of taupe, black, or tan—can edge out or soften your look. A black PU leather dining chair set, for example, can provide contrast to a soft, wood-filled room, while tan leather chairs look great with a more earthy, muted color palette.

Mix Materials, Not Just Colors
Combining materials is the secret to a curated, rather than matchy-matchy, look. PU leather pairs especially well with natural wood, metal, and textured linens. Don't be afraid to contrast—leather chairs with a raw oak table or concrete floor. The contrasts add depth and make your dining area feel considered.
You can also pair with our Wood Dining Tables for a balancing texture and tone.
Add Soft Layers to Balance Texture
PU leather has a shiny finish, so soften the space with table runners, placemats, and curtains in natural fabrics like cotton or linen. Create warmth visually with cushions or seat pads. In NZ homes where texture and light are significant factors, this styling tip slots right into local tastes.
