Help me Find: Two Tone or Patterned Back Chairs

8 years ago

Does anyone know where I could find the chairs in this image?





If not, what about wingback chairs with a solid front/printed back that would complement blush dining chairs with espresso legs (below) - these would be my second choice chairs? The wingbacks would be my host/hostess chairs at a long white marble table also wth espresso legs. All of this would go on a grey rug, but I'm not wanting gray host/hostess chairs - I like color and contrast and LOVE two tone or solid/pattern chairs.




Could any of the below work? Any suggestions are welcome - I'm lost on choosing really great host/hostess chairs...none of them really WOW me as the chairs in the first pic do.

    JUst not those ugly things on the ends.The ones in your pic were probablt custom ordered so look for chairs that can be done COM then you just choose the colors you like. Other than that just google 2 toned fabric dining chairs there are tons. I also would like to see the space and the table.

    This is a photo of the table, the legs are a little darker than pictured here. My original thought was the blush pink chairs with the marble table over a silver/gray rug. The host/hostess chairs are up for debate. Please either 1) recommend a host/hostess chair that would go with the pink chairs/marble table. Rug can also be changed. What do you think of the other chairs that I listed under the pink chair?

    2) recommend different chairs to go with the table.

    Can you please send me links to two tone chairs or vendors that carry them and are not custom? The only colors that I won't do for chairs are orange, yellow or blue - these colors are in the next room.

    I'm wanting glamour with pink or purple and some end seats that really stand out. I have an image of the light as well. Pink/Marble/Gold = the original plan. GLAM! But open to lavender, gold, white, marble

    The space currently has some furniture in it as I just moved in...and is attached to this room (so you can see color of the floor):

    The idea is that this room is the "masculine" and my dining room is going to be the "feminine"... gold/white accessories and art to follow. Will try to get a pic of the dining room soon.

    Please help!

    @dyhgarden What do you think of the first blush chair which i'm buying? How do you like how it goes with the table? Would you choose any of the accent chairs below it or have a better suggestion? The script is kind of nice, but doesn't contrast much.

    Oh, I didn't realize the first blush chair was the back of the one shown after your "what do you think..." Yes, I like it!

    Many makers will upholster the chair you want two-toned. Ask first thing at the store and they will steer you to the vendors that will do this. Or find the exact chair you want and have it recovered. Less pricey than you would think (around here it would be under $75 per chair labor,assuming multiples) because no foam or feather needs to be added,no structural change and the amount of fabric needed is minimal. On the other hand,I must admit the Caracole Gabrielle armchair flew to mind when you wrote "glam".

    @dyhgarden..thnx but the first blush chair is not the back of another shown - that’s the one I’m getting. The “script” chair is from the same collection. What do you think of marble table, first blush chair on sides and the script chair or raspberry chair for host/hostess? I’ll post a few other ideas for the host/hostess. If you think of anything pls let me know.

    Ballard Designs has several customizable chair styles, with some of the you can choose different fabric for different parts of the chair.

    I love this hostess chair...but you'd have to change the color of your dining chairs for something like this:

    @groveraxle I’m definitely focused on blushes/pinks/purples for the dining room. I’m just trying to get it to fit. Will post a pic of the space tomorrow with table and chairs. Maybe you can help with rug/art/host chairs?

    Hey everyone - please see the image of the room below (sorry it's not that great):

    The the table, light and boxes are going. The room ends in the doorway.

    I''m going to start a separate thread for this room but for those that can continue on here please see below for the look i'm going for. Any suggestions are so appreciated!!

    I currently own:


    This was my original inspiration:

    The whole look needs to be glam - blush/gold/marble are musts.

    I'm looking for show stopping host and hostess chairs.

    I love the two tone which I already posted and I also love chairs with solid fronts/print backs or vice versa as well as interesting shapes. Like these (they don't have to be grey):


    The lighting for the room is as follows. Will post art ideas shortly.



    i just want a glam look with a really nice contrast. Even if orange or a deeper pink or purple can go fit in, that would be great.


    Another option is returning the blush chairs and getting grey chairs - then adding pink/purple or any other color hostess chairs .

    Please help!

    Thank you!

    And art that i like for this room depending on furniture:





    My real favorites - not sure that they match with anything:


    Thank you!

    Sorry I just had to kind of dump the furniture, but maybe seeing everything together will help. And if anyone wants to Photoshop in a hostess chair, they can.

    Have you considered looking for some vintage chairs, maybe something cheap on craigslist, to which you could do this:

    Pink Opal Chair · More Info
    Follow the "More info" link and take a look at Wild Chairy's chairs. You could choose your own fabric and go way out of the box if you wanted to reupholster to your specifications. It would be a more expensive route, but would be a real showstopper.

    @groveraxle - thanks so much! I'm going to check out vintage chairs. I also went back to the pheasant chair that you posted and it's growing on me. Thanks for dumping the furniture into photoshop for me. I entered all of the info on a separate post and will see what I get back from there. you are really good at understanding what I'm looking for here. The effort is so appreciated.

  • 8 years ago

    Jennifer, the "More info" link below the photo will take you to Horchow's dining armchairs. They also have another section for hostess chairs. Some of them are way cool and may have you rethinking the blush. Or maybe you could do the blush side chairs with ivory hostess chairs. The chairs shown below have a little metallic detail on the wood.

    @groveraxle I looooove these chairs...do you think they could match with the chairs and table that I already have? They are in sale and within budget. Looks like only one color available.

    @hollybar: please weigh in, these are the chairs you love!
  • 8 years ago

    Have you checked out anthropology? They have a lot of chairs with pink both light blush and deeper pinks.

  • 8 years ago

    @beckysharp - exactly what I'm looking for and there's a store not too far away from me..they are very pricey but gorgeous. The only issue now is that I started to veer away from two host chairs as this seems to be a dated idea. How do you think these chairs go with the chairs which I have already?


  • 8 years ago

    Sprout, I'm trying to remember what you have already.

    Does this mean that you would have two different pink chairs? I would have only one style of pink chair.

    I think this means deciding if you are willing to settle with the chairs you already have, or selling them and replacing them, slowly if necessary, with the chairs you really want. Maybe getting two of the Mitchell Gold chairs and then the rest black or gray?

    @beckysharp i have these already but I'm well within the return window...I can also exchange for grey. I definitely can't afford more than 2 of the mitchell gold right now anyway.
