Are you ready for a fancy hoarder confession? The black dining chairs in my own Greenport home were bought at a TRNK sample sale, about a year before we even had the house. It’s true: Sometimes I see things and I just need to have them.

Are black dining chairs the little black dress of the dining room? Maybe…they’re as classic and timeless as you’ll find. Our round up includes simple shapes (some with updated flavor) to mesh with your current deco. In my own house, I partnered the shaker style ebonized chairs a vintage french oak table; the look is somewhere between “Farmhouse Eclectic” and “Out East Chic.”

Pull up a chair - a black chair to be exact: they’re sure to be your new favorite seat in the house.
