Helen sent us an email asking for advice on what to do with an old armchair that’s gathering dust in a corner.
Helen's Old Chair
Every old piece of furniture is an opportunity in waiting and this chair definitely has loads of potential A new trend in interior design is to combine traditional pieces of furniture with contemporary fabrics or fabrics containing bold graphic prints. Indigenous fabrics such as suzanis and mexican tenangos which combine graphic prints with combinations of bold colors can be used to re- upholster this piece .Add a large rectangular throw pillow in a complimentary fabric and this armchair will become an object piece in your furniture composition… trendy and interesting! Here are some examples.
