Choosing fabric - pattern vs. solid.

5 years ago

Hi,

I'm reupholstering an old chair to put in the corner of my living room. It is intended to be a reading corner. I've been looking at a lot of Spoonflower fabrics on Etsy. My house is at the beach and I love all the nautical patterned fabrics. However, I have a lot already going on in my room so I'm not sure if another pattern will be too much. I've included some photos of my room, the chair which also has an ottoman and fabrics I'm considering. Looking for any thoughts, ideas or advice.

Regards,

Christine

I love the fabrics you're considering (that first one is especially fun!) and definitely don't think it would be too much with what you have going on in the space now. It would designate the chair as sort of a 'special' place to sit, and I think it would be a lovely complement to your already-lovely room.

The fabrics are great, but I don't see how they connect to the striped chairs at all. I'm going to have to vote, no, too much of a 90 degree turn for the room unless you overhaul other elements.

I don't think the pattern is too much. Get a piece of fabric in those colors and try it in the room. I can't tell with that picture if the cold white with blue will work with the other colors in the room.
