Hi all!

So I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this. I bought some dining room chairs on ebay where you can pick the fabric design. I have a dark brown couch and dining room table (in same room) so I'm looking for a fabric that matches (it doesn't have to be a brown pattern, as long as its a good match and I can find other things to buy that will match easily to the chairs as well). Can anyone tell me there thoughts? I attach the link to the fabrics below. Note that each pattern also comes in different colors - you have to click on the pattern and you'll see the various color options.

My fear about myself is I often choose something without thinking it through and then end up hating it one month later. What are your thoughts? I want something contemporary but I won't be sick looking at them 6 months down the line...

TIA!

Do you have paintings? Get one that matches the paintings if you have. This way the room will always look put together so you hopefully won't want to change it.

No one can make a decision for you without seeing the room.

I like Hayes, henna, and Osborne. Just my honest opinion, I think those are classy and not too loud or colorful. Are you the type to like colors? Then just dismiss this.

Do you like the Linen Natural? It's neutral so it would work with a lot of styles/colors if you decided to change your decor down the line. Down side is it would show stains more than a dark color.

You could get nice throw pillows in burgundy,burnt orange, etc. fabrics for color. And a rug that ties in.

I feel like a lot of the patterns might look dated after a few years.

Hayes, Stripe, and Veranda is what I narrowed it down to. Good luck!

You have to show us the style of the chair. Is it busy or plain? You don't want a busy, curvy chair with a too busy pattern.

Also, do you have any vision of what you want in the room? What colour would you like to paint the walls? Do you like bright and cheery, or neutral?

I would choose something classic rather than trendy, so you won't tire of it too fast. It's also important it can hide dirt, dining chairs get soiled fast.

Brook, but it might look dirty pretty quickly.
Chino, but it might look dirty pretty quickly.
Don't Be Square, if you go for a little loud.

If you need something more subdued in the brown family, Wilson or Zebra.
