I’d like your opinion on this fabric and if it works with my area rug. Walls are painted a pale blue, Sherwin-Williams Rainwashed. It’s a Coastal home and I like the freshness of this fabric. I need something to brighten up the space of this dining room. I dining room table is a pinetop with linen distressed legs.
Ikat fabric would be on eight dining room chairs.

4 years agoLove the fabric; not so in love with the rug. I think I would either go tone-on-tone with the rug rather than have a competing pattern. Alternatively, you might consider a jute or sisal rug instead. Some options:

Treatments for small room with a lot of windows
Comments (36)I'm late to the discussion, but I like your choice(s). I have 3 walls of windows in our sunroom and I love roman shades in there. And we don't even need them for privacy - but we do need a bit of relief from the sun. My shades are almost always pulled down 1/3 of the way at the most. However my windows are taller than yours. Our romans are solid as are the slipcovers in that room. I have a pillow obsession (and maybe a throw/blanket obsession) and love to swap out. ANYWAY, the rug is beautiful as is the paint color. I think the light fabric is a good choice and will keep the room from being too dark. I may be biased on that thought, because I favor more airy, light rooms. Glad you didn't go with valances! No, not the way it goes at our house cuz it'd drive me over the edge. I'm kind of a get one project out of the way before starting another one type of gal. LOL And we DIY alot of things, and I couldn't handle more than 1 at a time. I bet you could recover the chairs yourself....See MoreWhole house color scheme
Comments (8)I've found that I can use all the colors and patterns that I love in my house, and have them be different from room to room (unless you have a completely open plan house) as long as the color intensity is kept more or less at the same level. By that I mean that having one room with all very dark colors and another room with very pale colors will make the house look disjointed. In addition to that if the style of your decorating is fairly uniform from room to room that will also have a unifying effect. Going from Swedish modern to English country will never work, even if you carry the same colors throughout. If you have a fairly consistent style and a palette of colors that is of a similar intensity (the picture with your three beautiful pillows is a good example of that), then there's no need to overthink the process; just allow yourself to buy the things you truly love in the colors you love. It will all come together beautifully and your home will have individuality and character without your having to agonize over rules with every purchase....See MoreFabric to cover dining room chairs
Comments (9)I've used the Crypton fabric for DR chairs. It's an easy care fabric and simply wipe off any spills with a slightly damp cloth. Good to go! You can check Jo - ann's for a sale coupon to use. If you have a store close by, they usually have samples on display. Not sure if they still allow you to check-out samples and take home for review. Cost is probably fairly close to Sun- brella but I love the no-stain factor of these fabrics. I believe it's about 3/4 yard for each two chairs depending on style. I ordered 3 yards for 6 chairs and had enough to add piping. I removed the chair seats from the chairs and took to the upholstery shop I use. Easier to transport than the whole chair. Labor was about $25/per chair. There is also a sofa re-cover project in the future using Crypton fabric too. Good luck!...See MoreHelp Me Find Upholstery Fabric For Dining Room Chairs
Comments (3)Does the chair you show have only one hind leg? I would think that would make it more difficult to move these chairs around. Also, I would think these chairs would be heavy to maneuver, especially by children and older people. I like the first pattern you show, and I don't think that you need to match colors from one area to another exactly. The mind will perceive them as separate rooms. At the same time I would wonder whether there isn't an overuse of this color, since it is a rather strong one. You might consider a beige material instead or beige with a subtle teal pattern,...See More- PRO

4 years agoOK, I'm at the beach place now. Here are two pictures showing the rug and existing fabric on the dining room chairs. Actually, when I look at this fabric, the colors are identical to the rug, despite what shows on your monitor. The blue and the green match perfectly and the repeat is 13.5. Love this fabric and might use it in another room.
Here is the picture of the living room. Love this Company C rug.
