Fabric Options For My Desk Chair (These Are The Swatches I’ve Ordered)

So my thoughts mechanically went to Ballard Designs. They do have a desk chair that I like, and I’ve checked out it a number of instances up to now. Their Grammercy Desk Chair is gorgeous, and I really discovered a cloth that I believed would work completely in my studio.

However after about an hour of significant contemplation, I got here to my senses. (I simply can’t justify paying $1100 for a desk chair when (1) I’m completely able to reupholstering a chair, and (2) I’ve a superbly good desk chair with a really excessive again and a form that I like. Right here’s what my present desk chair appears like…

So I’m afraid that my solely possibility is to maintain my present desk chair, and reupholster it myself. That’s high quality. I’m succesful. In any case, I as soon as constructed a chair from scratch after which upholstered it myself. Do y’all keep in mind that? 😀 I even matched the patterns and every part. I used to be so pleased with this venture!

Since I did actually like the material that I chosen for the Ballard Designs chair, I made a decision to go forward and order a swatch since they promote that material by the yard. It’s not velvet, so I’ll need to see what it appears and seems like in individual. If my cat can simply get her little claws into this material, it received’t work. She’s been utilizing my desk chair as a scratching put up since we obtained her. (And sure, she has three different scratching posts, however she nonetheless loves to make use of my chair.)

From there, I simply did a seek for “inexperienced velvet upholstery material” to see what I may discover. I did discover some velvet choices, however I additionally got here throughout others that I couldn’t resist, like this inexperienced and white stripe.

I like the textured look of this one. It’s microfiber, and I’ve heard that it’s good for homes with cat as effectively, so we’ll see if it’s a superb possibility.

After which I got here throughout this velvet and completely may NOT resist. I like this a lot!! I’ve a sense that the colours shall be all unsuitable, however I nonetheless needed to see this for myself. The value is a bit laborious to swallow, however I feel I’ll solely want three yards. So it might nonetheless be less expensive than paying another person to reupholster my chair.

After which I discovered a number of strong shade inexperienced velvets. I’m so anxious to get this pattern in my hand and see why on this planet it prices $150 per yard. What may make a velvet that particular?

I’ve used many P. Kaufmann materials up to now, and I’ve all the time been pleased with them. This one is extra within the worth vary I used to be anticipating to pay.

I’ve a sense this one shall be manner too brilliant. It’s sort of the colour that the bases of my work tables had been earlier than I repainted them earlier this week. However possibly in individual it received’t be fairly this brilliant.

This one is manner on the alternative finish of the spectrum. I’ve a sense will probably be too darkish, however I nonetheless need to see it in individual.

If I’m going to go together with a strong shade, I really hope that is the one which works the perfect. This can be a pleased inexperienced, and I’m actually hoping it performs properly with my pink cupboards.

After which I obtained two extra swatches which can be referred to as Citron. In all, three swatches I purchased are referred to as Citron, and so they’re all very completely different, so it’ll be attention-grabbing to see what they really seem like in individual.

So let’s evaluate. 😀 The chair shall be sitting in entrance of those cupboards…

I even have a complete wall of cupboards that shade on the wall perpendicular to these cupboards…

The wall reverse the desk space appears like this…

And the desk space is correct by the again entry, which appears like this…

And these are the swatches I’ve ordered…
