I'm an occasional "Lurker" here but just had to post about the picture of the lady in the blue dress---- It was at least 20 years ago when I was at the mall with my aunt and we spotted this picture at the Bombay shop-- Kmcg85 I guess you saw it at the Bombay store about the same time I purchased it- Way back in 1947 I was modeling in a fashion show in a blue dress very similar to the dress in the picture-- My aunt insisted I buy the picture -----she has since passed away at age 93 but I have a wonderful memory of that shopping day and the picture. the picture I have is beautifully matted and in a gold frame I would love to see a photo when you decide where you will be hanging it. I was so excited when I spotted it in your post. BTW---I love the chairs and think the fabric is lovely--also like the couch---- Florence/zeffyrose

Susan, yes they are too tall. They should ideally be no taller than than about one inch-maybe 2 inches-higher than the sofa arms. Yours are 6 or 8 inches taller than the sofa arms. Possibly look into having the legs shortened?

Hello! Mix and match at will! It's all the rage. :) But you need something to tie them all together, whether it's some pillows with some dark in them on the settee, or a pillow on the chair with a color in it similar to the frame of the settee. If it were me, I might look at a chair that has a slightly different shape to it. With the settee being as leggy as it is, it might be nice to have a chair that has a more substantial bottom to it to keep if from competing. As much as you like the settee, however, that room can handle something bigger along with 2 chairs. Or maybe 2 settees perpendicular to the fireplace and two chairs facing the fireplace? Also, make sure you like the comfort of the settee. They generally are intended to be quite upright and stiff and not very "loungy". They also tend to have a shallow seat so you don't really sit back in a very comfortable way, or at least in a way that makes you want to stay long. Just some thoughts!

Not a Pro. If you did not purchase the blue sofa yet, I would consider buying two blue chairs instead. If you purchased the blue sofa you can place it facing the gray sofa, like in the inspiration picture below, where two different sofas are used in the room. Inspiration:
