Opinions on chairs/fabric choices

9 years ago

Hi all!

I had a dining table made (it is reclaimed wood with really chunky legs. I want to elevate the rustic finish by adding upholstered dining chairs to the dining table. Do you guys have any suggestions for chairs that would work? So far I'm leaning towards cream colors. Also should I try to match the color of the legs (on the chairs) to the color of the table.

seems like the kind of table that the chairs don't match - and if you're doing "elevated rustic", the rustic is the table, the elevated is the chairs - definitely don't sweat the color. glad to see your upholstery swatch with texture, it's exactly what I was thinking. color is so personal. if you want neutrals, keep to them. if you want color, put color on the chairs and also the drapery/window treatments or walls.
