I recently updated a very cute secretary desk for a client. (http://nicerthannew.com/updated-vintage-secretary-desk) It came with a very nice caned back desk chair but it too was very dark wood with an outdated gold velour upholstered seat. I did a colour mock up if the desk in Photoshop to show her how it might look in different colours and she chose a nice grey.
For the chair, I found some very classic and pretty fabric to cover the seat to create a lighter look to match the updated desk.
The client was thrilled with the result.
What do you think?

    I can see why your client was thrilled! And clearly she has great taste in lovely things - I mean, just look at Chester! :)
