After almost five years it’s finally time to let go of my beloved IKEA dining chairs.
And when I say beloved, I do mean it. I really adore these chairs with their strappy crossed backs and charming striped seat pads, but…
…with my new leather sofas and timber top coffee table the conjoined living-dining room is just looking all too ‘brown’. Sure, I could paint the chairs any number of delightful shades though…well, let’s be honest, I just want something new. And that’s okay, isn’t it?
Something different, a little industrial, even metal perhaps…
I know these tolix chairs are kinda everywhere at the moment though dismissing something just because it’s popular seems a little illogical to me. Besides, I have loved them for ages.
Love your IKEA chairs but am really feeling the influence of industrial…. Looking for some Tolix stools for my kitchen…can’t wait to see what you do..Have a great weekend X
I am sure your new chairs will look great!
I love those IKEA chairs. I bought the last red one our IKEA had when it was in the Fundgrube (scratch and dent, display) section. I ♥ it so much.
I love that industrial look. Go for it!
I’m also a big fan of the Tolix and am really wanting the copper version made by Anthropologie.
Nice choice for a sturdy, easy to clean dining chair. Even better choice when kids are in the house! In about a year and a half, you’ll be patting yourself on the back getting these!

I have LOVED those industrial chairs forever as well. I say do it, do it, do it!
Aaaawww…. They must be pretty hard to let go. They’re lovely! Enjoy the beautiful day, Kellie xx
Hi Kristine – I love your blog! – I just found it! Your rooms look great – can you pls tell me where you got your tolix chairs from? I am keen to buy ASAP as I am renovating at the moment and driving my husband crazy!
Thanks, Kylie
Hi Kylie. I hope you see my reply, I couldn’t see another way to contact you. My tolix chairs are from Sokol (just Google them). Cheers, Kristine.
I too am loving the tolix chairs, I would love to get some as well. But at the moment I have so many kitchen chairs I couldn’y justfy getting more. May be I could sell some, but I love them all.

Okay Kristine, I am your newest follower! I have read through four of your most recent posts and I have fallen in love with your style. It really only took one post to do that but I figured I would try reading some others… ;)
Thank you for sharing all your insight!
