Best Dining Chair Seat Covers for Everyday Use

A dining table at Indian homes serves various purposes. It’s not merely a raised platform for having meals. Instead, it also serves as a study table, a place for family to gather and chat during spare time, a table for playing board games or sometimes, to work from home.

The reason a dining table has multiple purposes in India is simple: As I frequently mention, Indian homes, especially urban apartments, tend to have smaller dimensions that requires every inch to be judiciously utilized. This often renders it difficult to accommodate more than one table at home, since these contraptions consume lots of space.

If you’re among those urbanites or minimalists that’re content with what’re broadly classified as ‘plastic’ dining tables, it’s understandable that you’d use ‘plastic’ chairs too. These are economical, the table can be folded and stashed away and the chairs stacked in a pile. In such cases, there’s little or no space for any décor, except for tablecloth and placemats.

However, if you’re among those fortunate enough to have one of those ornate dining tables, it’s obvious you would also have matching chairs. This means, you can decorate both- dining table and especially dining chairs for daily or even occasional use.

While dining table appointments are relatively simple and include a superior tablecloth, table-runner and placemats, decorating dining chairs can prove a bit complex, especially for Indian households and executive dining rooms at offices.

Therefore, let’s explore some of the nuances commonly encountered while decorating dining room chairs.

Problems in Dining Chair Decoration

One of the greatest hurdles you would encounter in decorating dining chairs in India is the rough usage. As I mentioned earlier, a dining table and by that virtue, dining table chairs, serve myriad purposes in India. Hence, it’s normal that the original upholstery would undergo lots of wear and tear.

This means, you would require strong and durable seat covers to cover up such damaged upholstery.

Secondly, Indian food is inherently greasy and can stain any upholstery due to dyes and natural colors from spices. Such a situation merits using dining chair covers that can be removed and fitted easily and above all, washed and maintained at home.

Thirdly, it’s imperative to decorate both- dining table and dining chairs if you’re serious about creating an aesthetic and inviting ambience at your dining room, regardless it’s for routine, daily use or to host guests occasionally.

All these nuances imply that you opt for the best washable dining chair covers for daily use. Such seat covers and low maintenance and easy to fix. Furthermore, they’re reasonably priced hence offering the flexibility to buy more than a single set. And they’re available in a wide assortment of fabric with colors and patterns to suit almost every conceivable table décor in India as well as your individual or household tastes.

What’re the different types of best washable dining chair seat covers for daily use? Continue reading as I will guide you to some of my favorite types.

Seat Cover Dimensions

Before going to buy the best dining chair seat covers for daily use at home or executive diners at office, it’s advisable to measure the seat. That could help find the best dining chair seat covers for your use. Nowadays, most dining tables and accompanying chairs come readymade. If you own one of these, the dimensions would generally be universal.

Here’s the universal measurement of dining chair seats or usually cushions.

The seat cushion width typically ranges between 16 to 20 inches. The depth normally falls within 15 to 18 inches and the thickness is about 1.5 to 3 inches.

This implies that most readymade dining chair seat covers that you’ll find in the Indian market would more or less be compatible to these universal sizes. However, it’s best to check the manufacturer’s labels, website or ask the seller about the exact dimensions to ensure you get the best deal and value for money.
