Windsor Chairs

Jessica Zernike | UPDATED Apr 10, 2023

Created in England in the early 18th century, Windsor chairs are as timeless as ever. Could they be exactly what's missing from your dining table or your front room?

Traditionally, they consist of a solid wooden seat with a round-tenoned back and legs. While they're perfect in vintage interiors, does this mean that they can't work in other settings? Not at all!

Nowadays, Windsor chairs are available in all sorts of designs and they can even include other materials to achieve a more contemporary look or match other types of décor.

For example, monochrome options in either neutral or accent hues can work really well in contemporary settings, especially when they follow a more streamlined design.

A combination of wood and metal is the not-so-secret recipe for industrial-looking chairs.

We also recommend darker wood for mid-century modern or more traditional interiors, whereas lighter finishes work better in minimalist, Scandinavian and contemporary settings, especially in smaller rooms.

When choosing the right ones for you, you must also consider how you want to use them: are they going to introduce some additional seating or will you need them as dining chairs?

In the second case, think of how many people you want to seat (including frequent guests) and how much room you've got. If you're worried that you'll all have to squeeze in next to each other, choosing a model without armrests will gain you some additional room.
