I've become more and more of a fan of informal dining rooms. I think that when entertaining, informal dining rooms encourage more of an intimate and relaxed dynamic between guests. Particularly in California, I find that stuffy dining areas with velvet-backed chairs and formal rugs often look silly - not to mention intimidate guests can't enjoy their meal because they're afraid of spilling. Wicker or rattan chairs are the perfect look for a laid-back, California dining or living room. Especially when accompanied by a round marble-top table, it's a great look that can look casual and beachy or more put together depending on how it's done.
You have a great collection. These rattan chairs are awesome.
