I would love to use a check pattern to upholster my recliner. I have two samples of fabric that are really great, but not sure. To see more of my ideas go to
@Becky, You're always so practical in your advise! I Love that!!!! I'd have asked which one she liked better...LOL personally, I like the smaller print...
@ Sharron, I like the smaller one the best too. Though any check is a favorite fabric pattern, the smaller seems a better scale for this chair, though I can see the large working well too for a bolder look I'm not sure how well it would work over the smaller areas of the chair. Not much of the pattern would show on the wings for instance.
Ok, so here's my "professional 2 cents worth". Strictly from the standpoint of durability, the larger check which is the heavy duty chenille, would give you longer wear, BUT I think the scale of the smaller check would work better for this chair. As Becky pointed out as well. I would also carry the same fabric over to the seat cushion of the wicker chair and then use the larger check as a lumbar pillow in your recliner and maybe a couple more TP's for the sofa.
OK Finally it let me view the link....Honestly, I think while I was at it I might paint the wicker chair a darker color to come closer to the color of the leather chair...AND use the small check to make a cushion for it...
Damn gremlins AGAIN!!! I don't know if it's something on HT or what but I'll be in the middle of typing something or scrolling up/down or clicking a pic and the page just won't move. I've had to reopen another page!! Grrrrrr!!!
Oh good you got my message Sharron. IE and ads can really slow down your surfing. Oh are there any ads on Hometalk? Since I have Adblock Plus I don't see any.
Just click on her link in the blue type where her post is.
Yoo Hoo Marty! Have you decided which fabric to use yet?
