When upholstering a chair do most people like a large image centered or offset?

I am torn. I think it depends on the size of the chair.

I prefer the offset. With the pagoda centered my eyes automatically are drawn to them, rather than taking in the pattern as a whole.

Offset. Centered will make me feel like I'm about to sit on something every time I use the chair.

Offset. Agree with both posts above. Centering would be a distraction, as well as a focal point.

Offset in this case, but I would have to decide on a case-by-case basis which looks better to my eye.
