Chocolate brown recliner
Advice painting suede recliners

Andrea
Would prefer not to reupholster them. Both in pretty good shape. One is light brown, other more chocolate color. Would like to paint them very dark grey or black, to complement black leather love seat. Finding conflicting info on internet, and we sit in these recliners all the time, so they must retain soft feeling.
