Hi Jayne, when you search for an upholsterer they'll guide you on fabric choice based on the wearability of fabrics - though I would avoid anything with an obvious nap such as velvet, micro suedes etc - in the meanwhile take a trip down to your local Lincraft/Spotlight store and go online for upholstery fabric suppliers in your local area - this is where you can save some money and get an idea of what's available to you. There are some brilliant textural fabrics that have a self stripe that makes any nap that they've got look much better when it comes to long term use. Personally, I'd be inclined rather than having the lounges re-upholstered - if they're in good condition - have fitted tailored covers made (much easier and less expensive to change and so much easier if someone spills something on your lounge and these can also be scotchguarded).

I would go for something that complements the chairs. If you try to match it, it will look kind of odd and mismatched.

Hi Vim. What are the dimensions of the room? Will this room function solely as a home theatre? If it's a dedicated space for watching movies, etc., I recommend painting the room and ceiling a dark matte colour(s) and install full length drapes in a dark fabric w/pelmet. This is to minimise light and reflection of light in the room and onto the screen, and drapes will also absorb sound, all factors to consider for an optimal theatre experience. I also notice the TV seems to be mounted rather high on the wall; is this comfortable for your neck when sitting and watching for extended periods? Is your speaker system already installed or will you use only the TV speaker? The style and type of seating is partly a matter of what other functions this room has/will have, the number of people you want to accomodate, and dimensions of the room. Personally, I prefer recliners for their individual comfort (ideally upholstered in dark fabric to dampen sound, rather than bounce it around the room). Having said that, leather is more forgiving and easier to clean and you can always have throw rugs on them for additional comfort and for sound-absorption. Recliners are easy to arrange, and can be grouped in pairs, or individually, with side tables between for drinks, snacks, remotes, etc. (non-reflective materials). Alternatively, two recliners and two armchairs w/ottomans, or a sofa and two armchairs. Your flooring is beautiful, and it will bounce sound around the room, so you may want to consider a much larger area rug. I hope I haven't overwhelmed you with suggestions...it's really a matter of how passionate you are about home theatre! Cheers.
