Need help with fabric for vanity chair

Just got this Vintage vanity and need to pick a fabric for the chair. I would love some suggestions. My room colors are light blue green walls

    Is this just for a chair pad on this chair ? Or are you thinking about a slipcover?

    So I'd stick with a floral type fabric and pull in all your colors. Here are a few ideas ( the one with the bird is from Brick House fabrics online. The other were at google images)

    Diane thanks so much. I have to do the cushion but a slip cover for the chair may be a great idea

    Hi Stephanie, What a great vanity! It's lovely. If you are planning on really "using" it, I would suggest a very comfy thick cushion -- temperpedic even -- with a full slipcover for a feminine vintage look in a fabric that speaks to you. I say that last bit because a vanity is very personal, and you will probably have it for a long time. Lastly, I would recommend changing out the knobs to something bigger and more interesting -- not round. Have fun!

    I'd love to see a very feminine fabric - perhaps in pale pink or a deep fuchsia.....but that would depend on what other colors you have in the room. I can also see a cheery yellow. Have fun.

    As long as YOU like it and it ties in the wall color, then it is a good choice. I personally like the Casablanca Rose. Waverly products are very high quality. However, I don't see any of the blue green wall color in the pattern, and that will be important to your final selection to keep the look cohesive. Am I just missing it?

    Linda I love that. My bedroom paint is Woodlawn blue. My bedding is all white.

    Any of those choices will be gorgeous then! Just make sure you measure correctly according to their measurements page, and you are good to go.

    How about one if these

    Very pretty. Now it's time to make a decision. Which one will fit the chair the best? Which one do you like the best?

    From what we see of your room, it doesn't look 'fussy'. So of all the choices you posted, I would go with your second picture, the fully covered chair back with the shorter box pleat skirt. Feminine but not too ruffled etc.

    Ok.this is the chair cover. It is a little big not sure if I should keep it
  • 9 years ago

    Liking your chair 'pad' better than the cover. Seems to overwhelm your space.

  • 9 years ago

  • 9 years ago

    I'm glad I amused you... how are you today? but didn't you like your pink floral? I wish for more impact/ large pattern/ repeating of wall color like the too-large cover did.

    What about a decal/ paint a detail on back of chair?

  • 9 years ago
    everdebz that sounds cool I like that idea alot
  • 9 years ago
    Thanks everyone I got the second one and love it
  • 9 years ago
    you could a sleek solid color one for dining room chairs and add foam or batting to pad it some. just a tie on pad maybe all you need with that great dressing table.
