These Louis dining chairs in dark grey are dark, moody and absolutely delightful. While eclectically mismatched dining chairs continue to be a trend, we love the idea of surrounding a table with a small collection of these seats. They’re sure to add some drama to dinner — no spilled wine or catty gossip necessary. $179 | Structube Stylish stool

If you’re really feeling non-committal about this whole velvet-revival movement, consider adding a small (and portable) option like this Midnight Bloom Purple Velvet Tufted Ottoman.
