I'm sorry, I see now you are in Aus. I am too. Kartell make the original chair, which is designed by Starke, and is a design classic. There are variations on it now. It is very expensive, but here is a replica

I agree with both DreamHomeinkz & Rebecca. Go with a more neutral patterned traditional fabric for the chair, add a headboard to your bed with the same fabric, or if not the headboard, purchase taller lamps & shades to give a more overall "height" to the room. See some examples below that can be purchased right on Houzz.com (FYI, the 31" Ode to Bird's Nest: There are only 4 left) [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=]

Bedroom refresh?!

Hey! I would recommend when you've got a blank bedroom to decorate that you start by choosing a nice light shade and sheets for the bed. A well-lit room with appealing sheets will make you feel at home and comfy. As for other decor, bedside tables are essential they don't have to be expensive, something practical in a decent colour works wonders for the function of the room, and to bring some aesthetic choose a nice lamp for the bedside table, and make it homey with your favourite books and some tissues etc... A rug and some decorative pillows can also work wonders, perhaps in this space a nice shaggy rug to add some texture and a fluffy pillow to complement that texture would be awesome. The painting you've got is great and it would look super good hung over the bed. Other things to consider having in your room are a laundry basket and some pretty curtains or blinds if there more your thing.

What did you see first in this photo?

i saw the glowering pendants and the paintings at about the same time. I always thought my taste was a bit eclectic, but not to the extent of having things staring at me all the time. Dog pedestals, paintings, dog statues, antlers (faux but still animals), and that porthole type thing looks like something out of 1984. Big Brother is watching. Definitely not for me.

Which bedside tables?

I think that top one from Amart will look lovely with the room and will definitely carry on with your timber throughout, it’s different, has a light wood that will pick up the white of the tables, I would love it myself. Are you able to get a larger photo of it and see how it looks near tables.

What it does, is marry the old and the new. The clear version also "disappears" and adds bling to a room. Lovely table. All the best.

I am very disappointed that you won't make that walk for me chookie, I love that table I think it should be the star, but I was thinking blue velvet studded chairs like the couch would be nice also. :) the ghost chairs would help the table stand out.

Thankyou Chookchook2 for recommendations. Clear chairs can work.

I have recently painted apartment white. Would like to keep furniture light.

I like woods idea too. I am worried the room will feel smaller with velvet grey stud chairs...

Thankyou both for your comments. :) I'll let you know what I decide.

Lovely table!
I immediately thought Perspex chairs also.

For a wood option, how about open back provincial style chairs with upholstered seat? Less visually heavy that way.

I do like the idea of tying in the sofa & dining suite by repeating the stud detail.

Timber bentwood with leather? But even cane (or wicker) would work with the style you're going for. I'd be scouring those secondhand shops, the perfect match might be waiting for you. Don't forget what you can do with a bit of paint, leather/fabric and some stud tacks.

Before I even saw chookchook's comment I thought ghost chairs. I think they would look great.

This table is an Occasional Table, usually seen in a large vestibule or hall with flowers on top. It is not a dining table. The mirror flares out at an angle from the flat top, thus making it a bit impractical and uncomfortable to eat from. A lovely table, never the less, but not suitable for dining.

I have to agree with carolebakeramethyst - that table is not for sitting at and enjoying a meal.

But if you must - then as wuff suggested - blue velvet would be a good choice.
