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.

I was left by my grandmother a lovely smallish hallstand. I used to climb in to the lower shelf and watch the adults when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I loved it! She had the old black bakelite phone on it in the hallway. It is shaped on both levels like a clover, so I always called it the Irish table. I painted it turquoise a while ago as the black varnish had become damaged over the years. It was made in the 1930's and was a wedding present to my Nanna. I repainted it white recently and I use it for holding a lamp, and a plant underneath.

The timing of this article is perfect! Given the erratic weather lately, shielding outdoor furniture has become a real challenge. While I've experimented with some methods here, I'm still searching for a solution with lasting effects. Do you have any specific product or brand recommendations? A big thank you to @Kevin Carol (https://qr.ae/pyDKpb) for suggesting The Cover Company NZ for outdoor furniture protection. I'm definitely going to explore their offerings. It would be fantastic if you could compare a few similar brands in terms of quality, pricing, and customization. Your insights would be highly valuable.

I think you need a combo of chairs and a couch as the photos make it look like a through fare. black is very heavy so I would soften with a fur throw or similar. Focus on texture in your textiles and cushions. Mustard/ gold can look good against black. If you are changing soft I would go with something withe legs to lighten the look.
