Here is our list of the best dining room chairs available to help you choose the ideal one.

A truly great dining room chair can work both at the dinner table or in any other part of the home. This ensures that you invest in a multipurpose piece of furniture that is still usable even if you purchase a new dining set. You know your home best — what looks best might depend on the material of the chair, if it has cushions, or even the color.

’90s decor: The trends we wouldn’t mind seeing again (and the ones we would)
We share some 1990s trends that we welcome with open arms and those that really should remain in the past

As millennials enter the housing market and make a statement on their spaces, '90s design trends are returning to the home. Often reminiscent of their childhood, '90s kids crave something that reminds them of their youth. However, not all '90s decor needs to make a comeback. Today, we share some 1990s trends that we welcome with open arms and those that really should remain in the past.
'90s trends making a comeback

Y2K may have held the spotlight for the past year or so, but as the '90s kids enter the housing market and invest in their personal style, many are reflecting back on their childhood homes. Here are some 1990s home decor ideas that are trending again.
Frilly grandmillenial details
Grandmillenial decor has skyrocketed as one of the trendiest design styles among '90s kids. Whether it’s because the aesthetic reminds them of their grandmother’s living room growing up or the furniture looks like it belongs on the set of Bridgerton, frilly grandmillenial details are trending. Think furniture skirting, lace details, tablecloths, doilies, and layered curtains. Add dainty fabrics throughout your space and embrace the frills.
Wicker furniture
Wicker furniture was a must-have in '90s sunrooms. However, the desire for wicker decor has reemerged as millennials gravitate toward coastal aesthetics. For example, coastal grandchild is a trending style that uses wicker elements to offer the perfect beach home vibe. While white wicker is popular, wood tones are also making a comeback in boho aesthetics.
Bold patterns
For the past couple of years, millennials have been craving bold patterns and loud prints. Maximalism sparked this trend, but many homeowners are aching to recreate their '90s childhood homes with stripes, florals, and checkerboard patterns. Patterned sofas, in particular, are gaining more traction. Gingham prints are also resurging in farmhouse and cottage-inspired designs.
Wallpaper
It’s fair to say that many people have been scarred by peeling away the hideous 1990s wallpaper. And sure, some resolved to paint over it. But the next generation of homeowners has a newfound love for bold wallpapers and floral prints reminiscent of the '90s looks. It’s only a matter of time before the '90s kids embrace the floral wallpaper borders of years past.
Large entertainment centers
Entertainment centers in the '90s were massive. If you grew up with a large CRT television with a stereo that housed cassette, CD, and VHS ports all in one, then you know what we’re talking about. We will likely see more oversized console tables and entertainment centers this year. While we no longer need to store our dozens of VHS tapes or CDs, these oversized cabinets offer ample storage space.
