A similar thing happened to me - a bottle of hand sanitiser exploded in my black leather bag whilst it was laying on my brand new cream leather car seats!!! Soaked through and transferred the black dye from my bag onto the seat, leaving a massive black stain. I tried to remove it gently with leather cleaner, only to find the more I scrubbed, the more I took the cream colour off and started to damage the actual leather of the seat. In the end I took my car to a furniture upholstery place and they colour matched the leather and sprayed the area that was damaged. It looks great now. If you look REALLY hard, you can still see where I took some of the grain out of the leather (too much scrubbing), but otherwise you wouldn't notice - best of all it didn't cost the Earth. I think a small area like what is on your chairs would come up nicely - it would probably cover the ink stains too. I think it's worthwhile getting the job done professionally. Good luck!

That's an interesting dilemma. I would be inclined to go with the dark grey chairs because: - the chairs will be under the table surface most of the time, so it shouldn't be "too dark" when combined with the dark grey sofa; - the dark grey should tie in well with the sofa; and - the dark grey will provide a nicer contrast with the concrete table surface. Does the store you're purchasing from have a returns policy? If you explained your dilemma, they may allow you to take one of each colour home to see which colour works best in the space. Alternatively, can you go to the store which stocks the table, see what other chairs they have in the showroom and see if there are some light grey and dark grey variations that you can try in the store?

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 .

It sounds like you have a lot going on. I’d be looking for chairs that repeat an element you already have ie teak as mentioned but I’m having a hard time picturing them with your table. Hopefully others will be along with some inspiration pics.
