Thank you! I'm hoping to get away with under $300 per chair. I'm probably needing 12-14 chairs, depending on their width. I love the low back chairs with arms but there isn't a huge selection (I can find) upholstered.

I found my "commercial" chairs by looking underneath the seat at a restaurant. Staff were unaware of the supplier but was I was able to track them down through the manufacturer. I also found these: http://www.nickscalionline.com.au/replica-hans-wegner-wishbone-chair-2031.html http://www.lifeinteriors.com.au/online-shop/dining-chairs/replica-ch24-hans-wegner-wishbone-chair-leather-pads

Anything with colour would be a bonus in your place IMO . So grab 4 cushions in the same blue , and 4 with say lighter blue and white stripes or chevrons ( wiggly things haha ) -- that references the dining chairs and brings in a lighter blue . The cushions are for the couch btw , in case you hadn't clicked haha . Maybe a rug . Definitely a larger artwork with the dark and lighter and maybe a mid blue too , a splash of yellow and orange and grey in places . Suddenly , its gone from drab to okay . One thing I do slightly worry about though is the table top colour -- its got olive green drab tones to the brown IMO , and will probably make both the top , and the chairs , look plain and almost muddy in vibe -- a Japanese Black stain on the table top ( similar to your island front ) would look better with blue chairs in my mind .

Your kitchen looks amazing. I would go for all black chairs, they reference the rest of the kitchen. Any chair with wood introduces another type of timber which is tricky to match and takes away from the minimalist palette you have.
