Could you suggest a source with a similar style of chair that is not custom made?

Fun in Function Design
I own a pair of chairs identical to these and they are made my Paul Robert model 'Quinn 7010' I love them so much I'm getting them recovered. They are beautiful, functional and so comfortable too. Hope this helps.

Try custom chairs and choose your own fabric, then you can get exactly what you want. If you want any suggestions about this process feel free to email me directly at amandaatsofaworks@gmail.com. We can make most anything or you can also try independent local upholsterers who will work with you closely. Good luck!

Hello. Would you consider adding a 3rd or fourth colour into this existing design. I love the grey, blue, pink and white pallette and have been looking for inspiration for quite sometime. I love what you have going on here but I was wondering, if I do a similar pallette, if I would be "allowed" to a pale yellow or a bright green somewhere in the design using accessories. How would I do it?

Hi _cancan_ ,
I am the designer of this room. I woudn't add yellow but as you see on the ottoman tray, I did add a hint of green with the vase. It is a calming muted color so it worked well against the white tray. The shells in the lantern are also a similar color green. Good luck!!

I wouldn't add yellow to THIS room because the charm of it is that it's so serene and calm. But if you were designing your own space with a similar color palette - pink, white/grey, and turquoise, I'd say you could add a few yellow accessories. The green to me doesn't work with both pink and turquoise. Beautiful room.

Hi Kahli - it's sold to the trade only through Quadrille. It comes in other colors as well. Let me know if you need help ordering if you aren't a designer.

Emily

Hi jsickles. I purchased that SO long ago. I think it is made by Two's Company (to the trade only) but not sure if they still sell it. Email me your contact info and if I find it I will sell it to you.

Just purchased a gray sofa for a cottage and love the color combination of pink , turquoise ,white and gray. - Could I combine these colors onto the couch with pillows. I have a white wicker loveseat that I thought of covering the cushion in pink and white fabric. I have a large painting with blues and turquoise and a touch of pink. How would pillows in the matching pink and white along with a turquoise and white print pillows be on the gray couch ?

I think the colors all sound great together- it would really come down to the patterns. I like to have one big pattern, one small pattern and one solid (or banded/piped).
Good luck!

(Btw, I included two grey/pink pillows that are favorites of mine.)

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Lisa Frederick added this to 10 Reasons to Love Pink and Gray Again
What could have been a very traditional living area (the symmetry, the armchairs, et al) gets an update from a sizzling fuchsia print. Turquoise accents create a new take on another classic color combo: pink and blue.
Shawn Gauthier added this to 8 Ideas for a Fresh Start in the Living Room
Upholstery. Perhaps you already have the perfect chairs or sofa, but they simply need an updated look. Consider re-upholstering them in something fresh and new, like a bright, fun print. These traditional armchairs take on a contemporary spin in this pink and white pattern.
Love Your Room LLC added this to Bold Fabric Patterns Rouse Rooms
Make a large-scale statement with your fabric by reupholstering an accent chair. This is a great option if you have a chair that has sentimental value or is so comfy and sturdy that it is worth re-covering.Browse floral home accessoriesMore: How to Re-Cover a Seat CushionHow to Layer Patterns RightZigzag Jazzes Up a Kids' Room
Living Small: City & Small Space Consulting added this to Ikat Patterns: Forgiving and Unforgettable
Ikat gets pretty in pink in this charming room by Emily Ruddo. While the color is like that of bubble gum, it isn't too sweet thanks to the sophisticated print.
The Decor Fix added this to 10 New Looks for Fireplaces in Older Homes
This fireplace mantel blends into the background. The color closely matches the wall color, while bright accessories top the mantel and bold textiles draw your eye away from the fireplace. This might be a good strategy to use if your fireplace is not functional but still serves as a fixture in the room.
Samantha Schoech added this to Color Guide: How to Work With Pink
Pink UpholsteryUnexpected bright pink on very traditional chairs. It looks great with the turquoise accessories and adds just a tiny bit of sizzle to a seriously buttoned-up room.
Toronto Interior Design Group added this to Why It’s High Time to Reconsider Flush-Mount Lights
Mini ChandeliersIn the living room, bedroom or bathroom, a full-size chandelier is often out of scale and impractical (if you don’t like bumping your head and don’t have ultrahigh ceilings). However, a flush-mount or semiflush-mount mini chandelier adds a tasteful and manageable shot of glamour to a space and gives some visual depth to the ceiling without making you hunch over every time you walk through.Bling flush mount: Robert Abbey Lighting

Beyond pillows, consider pink-patterned furniture. An overall gray room is a great place to mix things up and try new pieces. Working With Patterned Furniture

Pattern- By using pattern on the chairs in this living room it gives the room a whole new feel, depth, and way light reflects around the room. Pattern is defined as a repeating design that produces directional movements and is a great way to accent your home.
