Need help with a fabric choice

12 years ago

I would like help finding find a complementing print fabric for a bench seat in a breakfast area, preferably with a large print to coordinate with my living room colors and existing fabrics. I want a solid fabric for the seat and a large print for the padded back wall. The padded back will be approximately 48 inches tall. Below are pics of the living room, the breakfast area where the fabric will be located and the last pic is all the existing fabrics together. The dining room is painted a gun metal gray (matching the dark pillow) and can be seen from the breakfast area. Would love your help. Thanks, Ashley

All pull out the golds, tans, and blues that you have going on.

I think I'd go to a custom drapery workroom and pick some samples to bring home and try with your patterns and colors. That is probably where the cushion will be made unless you sew yourself.

Yes, I have gone to a couple, but am still having a hard time finding a print that complements the large paisley print.

Try the website http://www.arkfabric.com/ What is great is the way they group the swatches together for you so you can zero in on your palette right away. You can get new ideas this way too.( no, I don't work for them- I found it on houzz though)

I'd paint the framed mirror over the bench gunmetal gray also.

The mirror will go away when the padded back is added--if I can ever decide on a fabric. :)

Looking at your blue and brown cube and the charcoal pillow, saw this combo that might work for you.

I was thinking about trying to bring the shrimp color to the bk area with the blue. I tend to go more for the blue/greys, so it's hard for me to decide on colorful fabrics.

@thomandash,
Even better! :) Love the blue print fabric displayed on bench!

I think my favorite of the fabrics is the one that wraps the back of the chair - the pattern is fun, the colors are lively, and I think it ties everything together very nicely. I would consider using the same fabric for the bench, perhaps as lumbar pillows against a solid cream or light slate blue banquette. I'd also love to see the banquette tufted - little details like that can make an area special, helping it 'stand up' to the detail and beauty in the rest of the house.
