It’s been a while since we’ve made any changes in our dining room. We don’t usually like to make changes to our living spaces because we usually ponder over our choices for quite a while. However, we wanted to make things a little more formal in our dining room and working with Arhaus made it happen!

These wooden performance cashmere chairs are simply stunning and it truly looks like it should have been like this all along. Let’s dive into some of my favorite details of this space now.

Since we have a rectangular dining table, I have always opted for chairs with a curved back. The softness creates balance in the room and make it more inviting. While our previous chairs are comfortable, these performance cashmere upholstered chairs are another level. I could literally sit in them for hours. I work in the dining room most of the day and these are comfortable and supportive. Chairs with arms are important to me because of my Dad, who has dementia. It makes it easier for him to get in and out of the seat. Don’t worry, we still have our rolling head chairs and that’s usually his spot, but every once in a while if he sits in these, it’s easy for him.

We have a toddler now and my aesthetic still hasn’t changed. Since these are performance, they are easy to clean with this upholstery cleaner or my favorite little green machine. I also plan on having a professional clean them once a year when we do the annual cleaning for our sofa and other items. The texture on the fabric actually makes it easy to clean and you don’t have to worry about being a little rough.

These chairs come in a few colors and while I originally swooned over the black, I opted for something a little less high contrast. I love how these create a soothing look in our dining room and am so excited to host many dinners and gatherings in our home in the years to come!
