Agree — feels contrived. I do love that wall color!

The fabric that bothers me is the white chair - that's one's odd man out. Other than it's an ok room, doesn't really grab me.

Nay. But yay to the wall color and dog paintings!

I'll go with a tentative yea. The buffalo plaid is the one that isn't working for me. I think I would have liked it better as 2 and 2 on the chairs with a third fabric on the pillows.

Agree that the wall color and dog paintings are fab!

I have three ptterns and a solid sofa, so I must be behind this look! Mine were purchased in three installments with several years inbetween, so not contrived.

Both patterns are medium sized square. Better to go with a smaller or a larger pattern, In this case probably smaller. I like the idea but I think the chair on the left is the odd-man out.

I wouldn't mind a couple of different patterns, but am totally not a plaid fan so either of these would be a big no for me. I think the colors are nice, though.

I also avoid plaid, and so those would be a big no for me as well, although I'm fine with the colors. I'm also fine with mixing patterns, as long as the colors are the same.

Plaid is fine for others - I just do not want it for myself.

Spanish, I shouldn’t have used the term contrived. I’m a big fan of mixing patterns, just not loving this particular mix. But contrived really wasn’t the right word. My brain is tired today. :D

Jinx, I second that, on the wall color. I am not a fan of the different chairs, either!!

Although I love the wall color . . . which looks to be the "New 2022 Color of the Year" (LOL) , the combination of the chair fabrics just doesn't work for me at all. The chairs themselves look quite comfortable, though.

I'm the outlier, but I like the different patterns on the chairs. Something about it just seems charming to me.

I quite like them. I'm far more a geometric than a floral person, which may explain it :)

I love plaid. I also like the chairs, they look comfy. The wall color is great. I like the total look!

That’s a hard nay on the mix.

I’m a little bored by this furniture for this room. Can’t say I hate it it but it’s kind of a yawn….

Nix the mix! I could do different chairs with the tan fabrics but not the white. With four different fabrics and the same chair style it looks like someone bought the floor models from different stores.

I would like it better with two chairs the same, preferably the check on the left, and two chairs different.

Not a fan of those two plaids together. If you're stuck with these chairs--switch the buffalo plaid and the white chair. Then switch the white with the larger plaid so you have plaid-solid-plaid-solid in a circle.

What it looks like to me is a furniture showroom — showing what Model #42 Chair looks like in different fabrics.

I’m not a fan of plaid but I have seen buffalo plaid done nicely. In this case there is too much going on with the plaids. I dont care for the plaid on the left and think it all looks blah on that rug.

do two pairs of similar enough patterns and make sure they are darker vs lighter

For my fellow lovers of plaid … just saw this. Guest room in a former old barn. Fabulous Ralph Lauren fabric:

I'm a form follows function gal. Love the chairs, but I can't imagine what use an arrangement like that would have--everyone could look at the flowers on the table? I can see it as a cozy area for taking tea with friends, but in that case, it would need to be a low table with room for a tea service . . . and as a place to play cards, well that doesn't work either, because the chairs are two low and far back. I like the individual pieces, but I can't imagine using the space.

Would be better with four white chairs. As it is, nothing stands out or makes a statement.

I like plaids and do like those chairs. I don't understand the mix. The 2 on the far side look solid. I would rather see all plaids in the same color tones or 2 and 2 matching. The solid wall and trim color and solid rug reduces the "noise" so the room seems to handle the pattern. Love the dog paintings.
