I purchased these two chairs to go into my living room. I have two options to recover as I already have the fabric. One is to leave the wood natural and cover with a sage green striped fabriic that has matte and shiney strips. The other is to paint them a white and cover with a white and light blue striped fabric. My living room is salute red from Sherwin Williams I have yellow, multi color floral pillows on my blue and white checked sofa. Kind of French country look.
