For a little background...
My couch is aqua, like this one
I love the navy aqua color combo but I wanted something bright and bold to make these chairs look more modern. I saw this chair on pinterest and fell in love with the orange zebra fabric.
After weeks of hunting I finally found out that the fabric is called Expedition, but I haven't been able to find it in the tangerine color-way. I have found it in poppy (red) and indigo (navy) though....and that begins my fabric dilemma!
OPTION 1: Using the navy zebra fabric on the Bergere chairs and brining the tangerine in as an accent in the room.
PROS: I LOVE this color scheme, if you could't tell from Haymarket Designs' website!
CONS: The navy looks really dark and I'm afraid it won't be the fun, bright fabric I envisioned for the chairs to begin with. Here it is on another chair and it almost looks black!
OPTION 2:
Using the poppy zebra fabric on the Bergere chairs and having navy as an accent.
PROS: This is the closest to the tangerine color-way that I fell in love with initially.
CONS: Its very red in person and I'm afraid it doesn't look the best with my aqua couch.
OPTION 3:
The wild card. Yellow ikat on the Bergere chairs and navy accents.
I found the ikat by Duralee in one of my many fabric hunts. I had ruled it out until I saw a picture of it on a chair yesterday...
PROS: I love the bright color and the big pattern
CONS: My high school colors were green and yellow and I always stray away from green and yellow color combos.
So there you have it...I'm thoroughly confused! Please give me any thoughts, opinions or other options you have!
