The stars of this room are definitely the toile barrel-shaped chairs — the pattern pops against the modern mix of rich blues, black and white. The toile pattern is more traditional in style and features images in black on a white background. By upholstering these mod chairs in a classic toile, you create a cool mix of styles. Tip: If you're considering reupholstering a chair with toile fabric, consider its shape. If the chair has many seams, you'll have to match up the scenery in the toile. That's much more difficult than reupholstering chairs such as these, on which the pattern simply covers one smooth side of the chair.
