Need help with chairs for dining area

13 years ago
I would like to do something about these chairs - slipcover or switch out entirely? The space is open concept - I've attached photos of the adjoining spaces. I am thinking a fabric for some texture, but am really looking for some direction. Thank you!

    Slipcovers tend to slip and slide on leather - replace.

    Nice home. I would put wine refrig in kitchen. Go red leather, or a contemporary print fabric with red, black, and cream design.

    Grab of few pretty king size pillow cases and slide over the top. See if you like the slipcover look. With your adjoining room and fabric, I'm thinking upholstered chairs is more your style.

    I tried the pillowcase idea - did not like the look! An upholstered chair seems the way to go. I like the idea of a pattern or something with texture. Where do I pull the color from?

    Maybe a patterned fabric would be better - Travisinteriors, any examples of the red, black and cream?

    I would dearly love to move that wine fridge, but there is no where else for it to go!

    How about something like this to incorporate your colors in a modern fabric?

    I'd add one at each end and keep your leather parsons for the others

    I'm thinking I'd really like a pattern - any ideas? Not these colors - but something along this line?
  • 13 years ago
    for all the chairs or just the end chairs?
  • 13 years ago

    Would all the chairs be overkill? The most prominent chairs are the two on the side away from the wall. The backs are in full view from the hallway, kitchen and living room. Maybe take the end chairs away and just do the four side ones?

    If you are doing all the chairs, I'd stick with the smaller scale pattern as in your first chair above. If you are doing the ends only, the yellow chair is great. I'd consider the nail head trim regardless. Its a great way to coordinate with your sofa. My gut is saying choice 2 on the ends only. I know you won't see them as prominently as the two in the middle but it just seems like the right touch imo.

    Funny you mention the nail head trim - I was just Googling images - wondering if just adding the nail heads to the backs of all the chairs would be enough to give them some interest. I'm also going to look at plain upholstered chairs with the nail heads. Hopefully something clicks! I'm just trying to add some interest without going over the top.
