What Size/Color Pillows For Dining Room Chairs?

Hi,

I am struggling with what size and color pillow should be added to my new dining room chairs. They look like they are missing a comfortable pillow. I was thinking light gray to tie in with the gray in the living room? Am I on track with the color? I tried taking the pillows from the sofa to see if the size worked in the dining room chairs. 12x12 looked the best but I needed it to mush more down, not as firm. Thoughts?

    You're missing chairs, not pillows. Why are you dining at a picnic bench? The room would look better with matching armless chairs instead of group benches.

    Drapery panels on the windows would also add more texture to the room.

    I like your chairs; I wouldn’t add pillows.

    Sorry they look silly with the picnic style table so why not just leave them alone . Thye have a ppede seat and adding one will make them sit off for comfort .Spend some money on a nice liggt fixture above the table .

    A 9 x 12 pillow in a color lighter than the chairs (the light gray sounds right).

    a small rectangular pillow as a lumbar in a color. IF you NEED support.

    The Black is overwhelming. looks like the flowers are the only color you've got going in the space.

    I would get new, more casual chairs. What you have now doesn’t work with your rustic picnic table and benches.

    I should have said that this is a cabin, it’s in a rustic setting, that’s why the wood table and benches, and brown sofa.

    I agree with Beverly FLADeziner on the points mentioned. If you get pillows for your chairs, buy feather inserts not foam.

    It’s not the lucky people in the chairs that need the comfort , it‘s the people relegated to the benches that eill need it.

    Since this is a rustic cabin, those chairs are what’s out of place. Pillows won’t fix that. Spend the money on chairs that will give the space a more cohesive look.

    Okay, now that I know everyone thinks my dining room and living room look awful, when I loved it. Oh well. I did benches because we already had 6 chairs around the island. We didn’t want more chairs, and the chairs would block our view out of the windows. The tables and benches were handmade, and not going anywhere, I love them. I also love the beige chairs I just got. It brightens up the table area, we originally had brown chairs there and it was too dark. I am keeping what I have, I just wanted pillow advice. Maybe I’ll swap some of the sofas ones out for some color, then the pillow for each of the dining room chairs could have some of that color too.

    I wouldn't worry about it - take the feedback that is helpful and ignore the rest - I would probably do simple down lumbar pillows in black to connect with the couch
