Bistro Chairs

1. Adding comfortable cushions to your bistro chairs is especially important if your chairs are made from a hard material like wrought iron. Cushions can also add a welcome splash of color to your seating area and create a soft, welcoming environment.

2. Since bistro chairs are usually taller than regular chairs, consider models that swivel so it is easier to get in and out of the chair.

3. Complement your outdoor table with folding bistro chairs, which are easy to store in the off season.

4. For a casual look in your rec room, pair a simple bistro table with chairs that resemble roadhouse bar stools. No one said a bistro set had to be a fancy French affair!

5. To capture the style of your favorite eclectic street cafe, choose bistro chairs that complement each other but don't match. Try pairing wrought iron chairs with different designs, or chairs made of different materials but with the same simple modern style. Your seating area will be quirky and fun while offering seating options for your guests.

6. Bistro chairs are designed with their historical commercial use in mind, so they will be easy to move and store, durable, easy to clean, and full of style ... all characteristics that will also serve you well in your home breakfast nook or patio setting.

7. While bistro tables seem to be perfectly suited to an intimate meal with your honey, you might want to have a couple extra chairs on hand. Versatile bistro sets are ideal for card or board games at parties, as well.
