Does anyone sit in those now? Or could you do something other than two chairs?

Yes they are used when we have company. What else would you do there?

Emerald Green or navy blue. Beautiful place. How do you maintain your sofa fabric on your deck?
Can you show the pic of your outdoor space?

Another vote for emerald green or navy here! I love your house.

Your room made me think of the movie Pleasantville, where the kids get transported to a black and white world based on a black and white tv show. I agree with others - you need to keep some color in your space and I fully agree with Patricia on connecting the colored chairs to the rest of the space. Don't be the mayor of Pleasantville and ban color from your space.

Thank you for your comments and ideas. Must not be many monochromatic favorites out there 😂. To be honest we have thought of having them reupholstered but the cost would be the same as new ones. They look great in our downstairs tho. To me they just jump out in the living room. I’ll test out something purple on the couch and also outside. I’m hoping to go to Morocco in the next few years and buy a rug there that is bigger. Hmmm We use Bayes fabric protector on the cushions and pillows outside. Here’s a pic of our deck

Love those chairs! Not sure about black....or white for that matter.

I love the purple and agree with one of the comments above, maybe if you add purple accent rug, flowers, pillows or painting it would bring some fun energy. If you want to get away from purple, than probably a rich emerald green would match nicely with the trees outside. Your home is a dream!

Thank you. Yes although I really love monochromatic as I love changing out accessories really often to give different looks. Earthy, Morocco, silver, black you get it. It’s like the little black dress you can change the looks 1000 ways.

You mentioned going to Morocco and possibly buying a rug. If you go with neutral chairs you won’t have to worry about your rug choice. In the meantime, use any color cushions and perhaps bring home some cushions from there as well that suit rug - would be gorgeous.

Really like these chairs for your room and just add temporary cushions that suit right now

The shape of the chairs are great and very much what we see right now. Can you change the color, reupholster them maybe.. I’d like a deep green.

Diy project...?

I think I have seen those chairs somewhere. I mean they are by someone famous. I don't know how old they are but I could swear that I saw them when I was looking up a dining room table my fiancee has which turned out to be by Milo Baughman. My mind is going. I really like them. Is it Vladimir Kagen? Do they swivel?

Thank you everyone!
Maureen you have my idea of neutral chairs so I could change out accessories easily. Last year we were in Morocco and I bought pillow covers and a small 5x8 rug. Where are the chairs in your pictures from?
Eleanor
The chairs are about 20 yrs old. I’m just tired of them and we can use them elsewhere.
Jennifer
They are in such good shape that we wouldn’t cover them. Don’t think our talents are that great ;)

Eleanor
Omg we didn’t pay that much, probably $600 each back then. They are swivel and still in great shape! It was not a practical buy :)

Orange!

First chair was in a designer’s photo and perhaps they could advise.

Depending on your budget you could also try Wayfair for a similar look at a better price point

Hubby and I just ordered these chairs.. fingers crossed.

Thank you everyone! These discussions on Houzz are always helpful when I am trying to make a decision. I’d be going in circles otherwise. Pictures coming when we get the chairs.

Received the chairs today. Just trying to arrange them.

Is there room to have the chairs like in the first picture, but with them sitting on the rug? Then pass through to the stairs would be behind the chairs.

I love the purple chairs and would keep them...but elsewhere in the house. Since you need chairs there only for occasional company, I would go for something airy and sculptural, and I would pull the up closer to the coffee table if there is room, so that your walkway is behind them. If you want to add color, I would choose some more colorful, textural cushions for your sofa.

Love these, and they are on sale at DWR:

Very spendy, but OMG:

or:

Oof! I see that I am too late. Oh, well. Good luck with the arranging.

Something like this? I’d have to change out the lamp so we don’t trip over the plug in!

Now I’m thinking they are too bulky for the room😳! Maybe I’d be better off with an airier chair. Oh my!

I would like to see something less square and less bulky, maybe a pair of round club chairs or even a single round club chair with an ottoman or recliner with . . .
