Differing tastes doesn’t always mean two completely different styles. Liking traditional doesn’t automatically result in a disdain for contemporary. Appreciating modern design elements shouldn’t mean harboring a dislike for conventional styles.
The furniture shopping experience often begins with the time-consuming process of determining what style suits you best and what you imagine for the space. Next comes the fun part of actually looking for the furniture.
Then, it happens. You find similar options that could work. Should you just pick one? It’s not as though they’re that different, right?
Well, consider these two dining sets by Homelegance. While the Archstone 5-Piece Dining Set (right) is very similar to the Archstone Counter Height Dining Set (left), there are subtle differences that can completely change the feel of the space.
Both dining sets feature a light faux marble top that contrasts beautifully with the dark brown finish of the legs and chairs. The seating is what ultimately differentiates the two.
The use of the saddle-back stools gives this 5-piece dining set a warm, comfortable feel without drifting all the way into the realm of traditional design.
The cut-out center back chair with the counter height dining set provides more of a modern, contemporary environment. White chairs are also available for a brighter contrast against the faux marble table.
While both are suited for a casual and unpretentious dining experience, those slight differences are what ends up giving the dining sets completely different vibes.
Don’t end the search as soon as you’ve found something you like. Explore the different options available and you just might end up with something you love. After all, it’s a purchase you’ll have to live with for a long time.
