IMO you need some real color in the space and I would do chairs in a color not nesessarily yellow but definately a color . A robins egg blue would be another choice, have a little fun . BTW the best thing to avoid fading is solar shades the allow the view, keep out the heat and the UV rays.

You can go so many ways with that table.. and by so many, I mean sooooo many... ;) Any of the better stores in your area should allow you to purchase chairs on approval, meaning you can try out a number of chairs at home and return the ones you don't like. You may need to secure the arrangement with a deposit, but it could be worth it to see what works the best with the table and your style. Any better stores should do that for you, and you can work with their in-house designer. You can go any number of ways with that table... industrial, rustic, transitional, modern... You have a lot of flexibility with that piece.

Have you used upholstered chairs before? and do you like them? Make sure you like them, I find them very difficult to move to get into and out of at the table. I prefer a wooden chair that can easily be grasped at the top. I like the gallery wall that celerygirl posted. And then add some plants in the living room.

Round oak pedestal table, turn of the century. The chairs which would have paired with the table would be a pressed back: They are still around. Or would you like to go more “now”? I suggest a high back chair, visually substantial. .
