Love your style and you've got some beautiful furniture there! A deep aubergine purple velvet on your wingbacks would look stunning. I'd tend to stick to purples in this area to keep it classy. Also, a dark purple would be more practical with kids than a cream. I'd keep the chairs you've got, unless they are really wobbly. Get someone to check them out and give you a quote for repairs and then you'll have a price to work against to see if you can get cheaper. OnePlan is right on the style and yet I don't think they look out of place in the room. I also like the idea of bench seats or if you wanted something really different, you could get a church pew?! I don't think the room has too much dark furniture as it is a large light area. Keep us posted with pics/samples of possible fabrics you find. Also, check out fabric outlet places.

Awesome upholstering job! The cobalt blue really compliments the peacock print nicely, whilst also making the chairs more fun and youthful

Hi what does everybody think about combining both of these together?Personally I think we need to be more selective about what we sell. Happy memories are irreplaceable and I love the fact that is part of the families choice to keep their family table in a contemporary house.
