Comments (18)I agree with a few other responses that recommend a solid color for the fabric for the chair cushions. While the fabric could be textured for interest, I would go with a solid. Perhaps the teal blue of the ikat fabric print you love so much. I have made many decorating mistakes by selecting print fabrics. You do grow tired of them and they do limit decorating possibilities. They also can add to a cluttered look if you like to have a lot of decorative items or wall art. I would definitely stick with the solid and make throw pillow covers to use elsewhere in the room out of the ikat fabrics....See MoreModern furniture and accessories with Queen Anne antique lounge ?
Comments (15)If you love it you should keep it. Off white or similar plain fabric sounds great. I would use the chairs as accent pieces in separate rooms and pair the couch with modern/mid century chairs that have clean lines and legs to give a sense of space underneath them. These could be a different accent colour or work back with the same tones as the couch depending on other pieces. You could stain the legs of these to work with the wood tones on your couch. Good luck would love to see the finished room....See MoreWhat's the best thing you have picked up in a council clean-up?
Comments (10)PS, we were out walking and I sent my daughter home for the car and stood next too it so I wouldn't lose it, it is so heavy and we were all sick with the flu, but has cleaned up beautifully and Lucy is 2 and loves it, the little boy's whose it was (originally his sister who was then 13) was a bit sad but mum said it was time it found a new home and how the new little girl would enjoy it, he came out and had a chat with me whilst I was holding my ground, I popped a thankyou card and a target voucher in his letter box a few days later, I just hope he got it...See MoreSuggestions for reupholstering Jason recliners
Comments (6)Dark Green velvet would be pretty cool! As would a dark Royal Blue or Deep Burgundy. However for usability go with leather. Colour bit tricky without knowing the rest of the house. A dark green with patina finish perhaps?...See MoreVy
