Upholstery choices

Lately I've been contemplating upholstery options for a loveseat and chair that needs recovering. The pieces are Louis XVI style reproductions, made in the 1940's. I'm torn between a colorful print that makes the pieces more unusual and a solid, safer neutral. I've found lots of appealing options online.













I love the burlap look. But have you ever actually sat on a burlap-covered chair? Not comfortable! 








A few solid choices above. And a red and beige striped option that still looks quite classic, from the home of Carolina Herrerra, featured in Vogue Living Fall/Winter 2007, found on The Peak of Chic blog.







Love this clean white sofa. Not very practical for everyday use, but it really mixes well with anything else that happens to be in the room!
