Hi kat010! Finally shopping for your chairs! I like the first picture best. Good luck!

the first one, color/material needs to have a bigger contrast with your flooring

I think they are both too dark.

The first chair more trendy, perhaps, the second chair will stand the test of time and looks great now. Go for the classic style of the second chair, it looks great.

I just bought the leather chair in the red I love that chair, I bought it to match with a dark brown leather couch and loveseat

I like the second one.

First one suits your current furniture's casual style. Second chair is more traditional and classic with the wing back.

I would like to make the room a little formal/chic by adding some other pieces. Like this color ottoman in round, this mirror above fireplace, this table between the accent chairs, add rust/burnt orange to wall behind entertainment center and the remainder walls very light gray. Possibly do chairs in this fabric. Hope you can envision what I'm thinking.

This is the ottoman color and the fabric style

I think the first chair better fits with the style of the room. It's traditional with an update look and could easily fit with more upscale looks.

Hi Kat010. Love the fabric. Do you have the swatch at home w/you? You'll want to see it w/the rug.

Yes, I have the swatch at home. It seems like it fits well with the rug. I'm not 100% with the pattern so I'm still looking.
