Wing Chair Inspiration

 A friend of mine recently found a great pair of traditional Wing Chairs in the basement of her new home.  They are in great condition besides the dated fabric, so I thought I would pull together some inspiration for her.  Her living room has a mocha accent over the fireplace wall and being the great gardener she is, there are plants everywhere.  This Nantucket residence designed by John Willey incorporates the natural tones and demonstrates how layering fabric can create a room.

 
 Choosing to reupholster your furniture can save money, reinvent an old frame and allow you the chance to create something custom.  Consider a modern fabric application like below by selecting a large scale pattern for the outside back with a neutral or solid inside.  Use your accent pillow to introduce a new color or balance out the room.

The fabrics shown here are from China Seas and Schumacher, but you can swap them with similar concepts found at your local fabric store.
