choosing textures & patterns

17 years ago

I am looking at this leather for sofa. Now I need ideas for fabric for chairs, etc. Not finding many pics w/leather sofa & other fabric pieces---Mostly I am seeing fabric sofa w/ leather chairs or matching sets. I would appreciate ideas on fabric. I want to go with tans, & rusty colors. I AM JUST NOT sure on textures, pattern, etc. I don't want fabric to be too formal or too plain either. Help!

Well darn, I can't figure out how to copy the pic from Bradington/Young website

    Right click the picture and save it to your computer. Then you can post it here from Tiny Pic, or Photobucket, or wherever you prefer.

    Also, when we start a thread it won't let us leave a link until we hit "Preview Message." Then add your link, then hit "Preview Message" again, and then submit it.

    Hope that helps, Deb.

    That's a beautiful sofa!

    If you want something between formal and not too plain, I could see a beautiful chenille stripe in the color combo your looking at.

    I love textures like herringbone but I think they would wimp out, paired with the leather piece.

    Here is a link that might be useful:

    Stick with a coarser fabric, casual style. I don't know what your furniture looks like but stay away from jacquard, chintze. but stick to cotton and chenille. Matte thick cotton canvas or chenille fabric in a contrasting color might be nice or a geometric maroon/gold/olive pattern would coordinate well. Stay away from flowers with leather. Blues also are not likely to work. Deep red tones coordinate well with deep brown leather, as do creams, if you can keep it clean.

    You're very welcome but I'm parma not ingrid, lol.

    I'm confused. Are you buying the BY sofa and looking for chairs or just looking at leather and fabrics?

    Sorry Parma--I guess I had Ingrid in my brain from looking at other posts. I am buying this sofa in a leather that is very close to the color in the picture--the color I am getting is 9474-85.I flipped between this brown & the darker browns. I need chairs, pillows, tables & new paint. My plan is to wait on paint until I get the sofa & chairs. I have been choosing the sofa for about 3 months now--I am very indecisive perrson by nature. I am having fun with it but ready to nail the sofa decision down & move on.
