Coastal Dining Chairs: Serena & Lily Collection
Dining chairs with coastal flair have never look so good. Looking for some beautiful, coastal dining chairs or accent chairs for your home? These stylish chairs would look great in your coastal, beach house or casual farmhouse-styled rooms. Or they would serve well on a covered porch or sheltered outdoor living area.
Discovered dining chairs with coastal flair yet? These dining chairs are part of the collection at Serena & Lily. You may have seen these chairs before. They are a California-based lifestyle brand headquartered in Sausalito. The company was started in 2003. Expanding their direct retail presence. Currently, they have s few retail stores around the US. The company was co-founded by Lily Kanter, a former Microsoft executive-turned lifestyle designer, and Serena, a textile designer, and decorative painter.
Riviera Chevron Side Chair
Serena & Lily’s style is self-described as ‘..coastal and casual, relaxed yet refined..’ and we wholeheartedly agree. The lines are classic and proportional but updated with bold, contemporary coastal colors. All too often ‘beach house’ furniture is over-styled with heavy tropical or floral prints. Or just a bit too casual with unwieldy, overflowing proportions.
Shore Dining Chair
Make it compact yet graceful with a sweeping woven rattan frame as you’ll find in the Shore Dining Chair. Select from several cushion patterns that will match your dining room decor. Featured in the image above with a cushion in ‘Multistripe Marina.’ We love how this traditionally oversized style has been redesigned in a smaller version. Its dimensions work around a smaller dining table or seating area.
Riviera Arm Chair – Dining Chairs with Coastal Flair
Ever popular, the striking Riviera line is available in several styles and colors. It is based on the timeless 1930’s French bistro dining chair. A hand-stretched rattan frame is wrapped with an ultra-durable synthetic (plastic) woven seating to create the Riviera. These are fine for protected outdoor use. But keep them dry as the rattan is a natural material. If you want to leave these outdoors exposed to the element one is now offered with a powder-aluminum frame.
Carson Arm Dining Chair – Dining Chair with Coastal Flair
Keep your guests comfortable in the stylish Carson dining chair. In this design, the Carson dining chair features a natural or painted wood frame. Made from woven natural fibers and dyed Abaca (a sort of Phillipino Hemp) fiber, both the seating and back exude total comfort. The contrasting, thin woven stripes add just a touch of color and refined geometric interest. Select from a variety of side chairs and armchairs with different finishes.
Islesboro Chair – Dining Chairs with Coastal Flair
Go for a super-chic style with the Islesboro chair. Designed in a basket-borrowed natural-weave frame on a smaller scale than traditionally found in woven furniture. The low back is perfect for a coastal dining chair or around a smaller bistro table. A dark strapping woven throughout adds a bit of coastal interest. The strapping helps break up the otherwise monotone natural weave. Cushions can be found in several colors and patterns. In the image above, the Islesboro chair has the “Cabana Stripe with Indigo”.
Need a counter or bar height dining chair? Fret not, Serena & Lily has you covered! The Riviera line also features most of the same styles in both a bar and counter height. If you don’t know what height you need, check out this resource before picking a style.
Riviera Counter Chair
Balboa Bar Stool
Rattan at its best. The Balboa Barstool in natural finish combines the durability of rattan with brass leg caps and accents. This style would absolutely pop against a dark stained wood counter or even the oh-so-trendy live-edge wood-top dining table or bar.
And for those with tighter dining space or the need to slide stools under the counter and out of the way when not in use, Serena & Lily even offers the Riviera in a backless bar (or counter-height) stool. Evoke the era of classic Parisian bistro bars and their basket weaves ceramic tile flooring with these looks. Available in a more traditional checkered pattern or a more contemporary broad stripe in Fog (shown) or Navy.
Riviera Backless Bar & Counter Stool – Dining Chairs with Coastal Flair
For a backless stool, look at the Riviera bar and counter stool. This stool has the same style as the Riviera dining chair but without a back. Make it a less formal solution for the kitchen counter or bar areas.
